Hit Hard!!!!!!

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.

bad

Doesn't do anything near rate rms... only had 500 clean watts going to it and it blew within 24hrs during its low volume break in period..

So Far So Good for my Planet Audio AC12D

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.

Great box

I love this sub box. It looks & sounds amazing I am so happy I got it . If you want a box that looks and sounds really good you should get this box . U will love it as much as I love mine !!!!

Good box!

It handles my sub woofers pretty well! I'm surprised it is holding up so greatly! Highly recommend it to anyone!

awesome

I bought this speaker because one of my others blew. I'm now gonna buy another. They hit hard!

sounds good

i bought this sub on a very tight budget and wish i would have bought a pair sooner. this sub hits hard and sounds good, one of the better subs I've owned

Cheap

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.

Great box but it's to big

I would recommend this product, I like it alit except it's to big to fit in my trunk and had to put it in my back seat, so make sure you measure before you buy a box

Great Price! Subs Hit Hard!

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.

decent sub

For the money there is no better designed sub hands down pay attention to the rms rating and you won't be disappointed

Great subs for great price

These are great subwoofers for a good price, they were my first subs, but definitely wont be my last! Easy to install, and they bump

I'm extremely happy with this product!

I haven't had these for too long but so far I am extremely please with this subwoofer. It was affordable as heck and for the price I couldn't be more happier with the complete setup, just recently bought another car, can't wait to put the other sub in the Genesis!

Bass

This sub has been the best sub I have ever bought I would so tell my bass friends and family to buy this sub pounds very good

Not rated as it says!

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

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.

OUTSTANDING SUBWOOFER

did lots of reviews on this sub before i bought them....have them hooked up to a power acoustic 6000d amp running 4 ohms was running 1 ohm . running them at 1 ohm they are pure monsters but we all know that 1 ohm dont last.....any one wanting a great sub for the money these are them

By steve on June 30, 2015 Verified purchase

you get what you pay for.

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.

(502) 4 12s on 5k

I'm from Louisville KY and let me tell u this..After breaking in my new AC12D yeah 4 of them on planet audio 5k everything is shaking my mirror fell off and u cant keep a lighter lit in my car I put them in a 81 g body cutlass supreme...CAN U SAY BEAT..good speakers and wonderful amp I must say...

By Chuck on January 18, 2016 Verified purchase

Nice for the price

Once broken in, speaker has great bass quality. RMS is not what is rated but nice sub for price.

kick azz subs

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 !!!

Just got a pair

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

Beats hard and low

I bought these subs because of the price I have them on a Massive audio E2 1600.2 only running about 400 RMS at 2 ohms in a custom down firing box in my volvo v70 and they have the doors and roof shaking I would recommend them to anyone looking for deep bass on a budget

Great product and price

Product quality great and just as described. Quick shipping. Installed and sound quality is amazing

Okay for the Money.

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.

Sound great

I had 6 of these in a sealed box in the back of my trailblazer. Pushing them with a planet audio 5000. They hit great.

Great budget subwoofer

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.

Pros:
High RMS rating
DVC
Price!!!
Frequency response. Very deep bass with this one

Cons:
I didn't buy two =D

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

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.

AC12D

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).

Planet Audio AC12D

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.

By Philip on April 22, 2020 Verified purchase

Good speaker

A good speaker for the price. In my opinion they are better subwoofers than brands like; dual, Pyle, boss, ect. They sound good and handle a decent amount of power. At 40 bucks you can't go wrong

Kick ass subs

Don't listen to the negative reviews. Bought two of these with the 4000-watt mono 1-ohm stable amp planet audio offers. System hits hard. Leave your "gain" control down and it will last a long time with great-sounding music.

Belva BBX212BL (BLUE)

Sounds good for a prefab box but if you want to get the best out of your speakers build a box to there spec's but for the cheap subwooffers I put in this box for a buget build I did for my sister this box is great.

By Anonymous on May 25, 2018 Verified purchase

best box ive owned

I would recommend this box I have two dual voice coil 12" subs in it and it sounds great,

Good starter subs

It's a monster at 2 oh but sound better at 4 but takes a lot more power

Love then

These subs are the best , especially for the price. I bought 4 , but ended up only using 2. I built a box to spec and hit freaking awesome. My son has already knocked his rear mirror off and busted windshield, i think i may have over done it for his first system and vehicle. I have them paired up on the 5000 watt mono amp running at 1 ohm.

Wow!!! Excellent box

I am now on box number 3 for my subs. This box has brought my love back to my system. Insane how much a box can change it and it looks amazing.

Look/Sound Good

Sturdy construction and is even insulated on the inside. It has good looks and connectors for the speaker wires also. I would purchase this brand again.

Great box with room for small improvements

I put a pair of Alpine Type R's in here and they sounds great! The box came in perfect condition, and on time. One of the first things I noticed was the wire terminal seemed to be pretty low quality, but are mounted very well. The pictures don't show this, but mine came with a logo screwed in on the corner of the blue/front part of the box. The only BIG con is that the port is very rough and sharp. Overall this is a good box and I do not regret putting this hefty chunk of goodness in my trunk.

By Gabriel on April 6, 2017 Verified purchase

Great vox

The box is made perfect and go's with my speakers. I would definitely recommend 100%

Awesome sound!

Went well beyond my expectations, great sound and very well built.

Belva BBX212BL (BLUE)

This box is amazing. Pros: It is a very nice box, has very nice terminals on the side of the box, and is very well built and very strong. Cons: It is pretty heavy but that is because it is so strong and well built, and because it has the white stuff lining the inside makes it hard to get the terminals out to wire them.

Great price great product

Nice big box looks nice and great price.Would definantly buy again

Very Unsatisfied

My 12” Memphis subs wouldn’t fit without taking the rubber from around it to sit in the box properly.
Very Ugly looking without the rubber around my speakers. Highly unsatisfied.

This a good box for the price

I love my box it go good with my blue car

It bumps

I own 2 (1 as a back up) and These things SOUND GREAT for the price, yeah any flagship sub would sound just a tad better, but for 70$ ITS AWESOME, I definitely recommend these for beginners since they can handle good power and are cheap

All around great product

Takes a beating....as far as I can tell doesn't overheat or loose bass hit
