Hit Hard!!!!!!

The following review is for AC12D, which is a part of the bundle you are viewing.

I bought 2 of these subs and they hit hard. I have them hooked up to a Planet Audio 1900 watt max mono block amp(1400rms@1ohms/1000rms@2ohms). I'm running the amp and speakers on 2ohms. I don't even have the amp turned up half way. I had them in a Bbox vented box and it blew the box apart. Great buy for the money.

So Far So Good for my Planet Audio AC12D

The following review is for AC12D, which is a part of the bundle you are viewing.

Great sub so far! I Bought this Sub woofer 3 months ago no issues what so ever, still non today. Also, LOL No way this thing will Ever handle 1800 or it's 800 RMS Like it claims. Because I'm running it on a 400 Watt Amplifier & That's almost to much for it with Gain Matched & set correctly. I usually like to deal with Kicker, JL Audio & DD's Subs, but this was something quick and cheap I wanted for a daily driver so far sounds amazing. When you first install it, it's not as loud because "like all sub woofers they go though a Break In period", if you're good with car Audio you'll know what Exactly I'm talking about. Just make sure you set you Gains good with a good Amplifier that has True RMS Rating's marked on it I'm sure you'll be Surprised. I have this Sub in a 2FT Cubic Box in the back of my 90 Ford bronco running off the Left Channel of my Cheapo (VM Audio 1000 Watt Amplifier Class AB RMS is 800) it sounds very good for being 40 bucks. Reason i have it running off one channel and not bridged is because the Sub woofer is 2 Ohms and my Amp is only 4 Ohms Bridged and 2 Ohms per channel. So I had no choice other why's I'd burn up my amp.

Cheap

The following review is for AC12D, which is a part of the bundle you are viewing.

I purchased this product and installed them. They didn't last no more than 10 minutes. Clearly the sub's are overrated. I put the SPL 3400 mono on them. It was the RMS it said they needed for both. Now I can't use them anymore. I won't recommend these sub's to anyone. Waste of money.

Ok..

The following review is for BBX212BK, which is a part of the bundle you are viewing.

Not even a couple days after bumping two gto jbl in it the carpet started to split... But overall I like the bezel- but only because I paid close attention to diameters and measurements of subs I bought compared to this box's measurements. Would be better if they made it to where you could wire in a series the correct way.

Great Price! Subs Hit Hard!

The following review is for AC12D, which is a part of the bundle you are viewing.

These subs hit hard. Can be mounted in a truck box, I have a 2011 Chevy Silverado 1500 Crew Cab with a Boss Amp and they pound, I've had them a couple of months with no issues and running about 500 watts RMS to each of them. They are clean sounding and honestly, hit as hard as the JL w3's I had before. $40 a woofer, great deal, better than paying $150 a woofer.

Not rated as it says!

The following review is for AC12D, which is a part of the bundle you are viewing.

Its a nice looking sub, i was pounding my truck for about 3 day intill the coil over heated!! So their for its not a 900 rms i was only runing a 900 rms amp and it made it go bad. My audiobahn are only 800 peak power and only rated at 400 rms and they seem like they want more, and i got them hooked on a planet audio ac2600 amp!
Over all this speaker is OK if you run it with a amp of 350rms max that way it want blow or over heat the coil!!!

Great sub, even if you wire it wrong

The following review is for AC12D, which is a part of the bundle you are viewing.

So as it turns out, I'm a HUGE moron and have been wiring my subs wrong. Single sub's havn't been bad, but I got two of these and wired them way wrong. I simply didn't understand... Doing the math on it, I had my dual subs wired in a way that brough the resistance to 1 ohm. These subs aren't rated for that... Neither is my 3000w amp. SO I had them wired in 1ohm, bridged on a 3000w 4ohm amp... They lasted a good 3 months like this, until they blew, and hit so hard my whole apartment hated me! (deal with it).

In the end. I got a lot more out of these subs than I was expecting, especially for wiring them wrong. Now it makes sense why my amp kept popping fuses... I've upgraded to Rockford T2's, and i'll see if the amp still performs after I rewire them correctly. Glad I caught this!

VERY impressed with these subs. Bought in a 4 pack. Other two were on a 500w amp.. so they're still healthy. Will rewire correctly and increase to 1000w. Definitely would buy some again.

you get what you pay for.

The following review is for AC12D, which is a part of the bundle you are viewing.

I bought this sub thinking I would run it in my ported box in the trunk of my Challenger for some extra bass. I hooked it up to a planet audio amp I bought from sonic electronics as well. The amp has held up pretty well except it has fried two 12 inch speakers. This AC12D and also a JLW3V0 as well. The Ac12d lasted 4 days before it got stuck, definitely not what I expected. It sounded pretty good up to that point but I won't purchase it again. They are best suited for low power amps or maybe I just got a lemon.

Just got a pair

The following review is for AC12D, which is a part of the bundle you are viewing.

Just Bought a pair of these now i do admit i wouldn't over power these, For a budget build i would use these but on a real note. I have seen some of the reviews on here any sub can blow on a big amp not in the right box are to much bass knob every sub has to be broken in and a 24 hour period it can take a week to a month some time to break a sub in. These i would give a week to break in. Fist week i will put them on a small powered amp like a 500 to 600 watt amp on a 4 ohm load then week after put them on a 1000 watt for a week then after that put them on my big boy amp my 4000.1 on a 4 ohm load

kick azz subs

The following review is for AC12D, which is a part of the bundle you are viewing.

I heard these at a local electronics store and they pounded pretty good running off a Hifonics mono block amp not sure of the wattage rating and they reproduced fairly clean and accurate bass notes even in the low 808 kick drum frequencies . Then I put some good ole rock and roll to them and it had pretty decent tight bass notes. For the money you cant beat this sub then again... You still get what you pay for so fair warning. I was looking at the jl audio w3's and I don't have the budget for those so I got 4 of these. They look sleek and sexy and sound pretty decent for the money. Pretty loud too !!!

I honestly love it so much I am fixxen to order a second one so I can run four 12's in my truck!!
If you don't like rock solid low end bass that makes your car pulsate ,
or bass that hit's so hard it blurs your vision!!
This beautifully well crafted box is not for you!!
I highly recommend this product and Sonic Electronix I guarantee that you will not be disappointed with either!!!

GREAT BOX

The following review is for BBX212BK, which is a part of the bundle you are viewing.

Great box. It arrived almost an entire week early to my APO box (pretty impressed) and in perfect condition. My Sundown Audio SA 12's fit perfectly in the cutouts. This box slams with the SA's running at 1500w RMS. No port noise and plenty of punch in the lower frequencies. I would definitely recommend this box to anyone running a medium sized setup like mine. I did have a little issue getting it in the trunk of my E39 BMW but nothing to complain about.

Okay for the Money.

The following review is for AC12D, which is a part of the bundle you are viewing.

It works fine, adjustment with bass knob is almost nonexistant. Emailed Boss audio who make Planet Audio they sent a new one out immediately. Didn't fix the issue so it must be that it doesn't have much of a adjustment.

Amp is seriously overrated power wise. I wasn't looking for some powerhouse amp but i did expect just a bit more from this.

It looks good at night with what lights up and is a decent looking amp.

Install isn't that great as they have a real deep and narrow screw hole to put mounting screws in and most of my bits didn't fit. had to make something up to screw it to trim piece. Also the phillips screw terminals for wiring are a joke. Stripped out and still loose. Replaced them with what i had laying around and it still wasn't great.

I'm in love with this subwoofer. I power it with the planet audio anarchy 1500.1 amp, which is slightly overpowered, but turned down the bass and this thing still impresses me.

Cons:

Do not even think about trying to put 900 watt rms to one of these.

The following review is for AC12D, which is a part of the bundle you are viewing.

These are ok if you just look at the price and wgat the sub offers but you would be luck to get more than 400 watts going through one of these without the cone trying to jump out of the frame and your voice coil slamming against the back plate. Keep it in the 200-300 watt rms range and you'll be ok but i dont get why they would try to say this thing can handle anything close to 900 watts.

This sub is working great so far with a sealed box. No issues or distortion, only had it a few months but it's worth it in budget terms. Pros so far is price and value and no cons yet so far. I would recommend this sub for systems with not too much power involved coming from the amp(s).

The following review is for AC12D, which is a part of the bundle you are viewing.

These subs are a great value for the money. Paired them with the Planet Audio AC4000.1D amplifier @ 1ohm. Perfect pairing. Sounds much better than the Boss subs I got as a reward from my work. They're not Rockford Fosgate or JL Audio, but if they last a year or more, they'll be well worth it. I'll give them 5 stars for the initial performance.

Bout this box to house two of the new Alpine Type R 12’s. The cut outs on face plate of the box is a little too small for the subs to fit (if you keep the rubber ring surround on the subs). So mounting was difficult. After fighting with it for a while they worked out. Sounds great.
