Not Bad

Put one of these in my wifes hatchback SUV and its perfect for her to country and pop music taste. I prefer harder hitting bass in my truck but its good for someone whos not trying to wake up the dead.

great sub

I got 2 of these in a sealed tripple box in my 86 regal i need to get a third one to fill the box but for rite now i have 2 hooked up with a kole audio 700 watt amp with about 150 rms each these subs are under powered with that amp and they still hit very hard and clean. Cant wait to get a third sub and a bigger amp. These are great for low end subs and the price an shippin is unbeatable. If ur on a budget or not get these they will suprize you.

awsome

I dont know why these havent been more popular. Just as good as kicker if you ask me.

good woofer

Well built for the price, good sound, great bass reinforcement in an extended cab pickup.

OK bang for $

I've got 2 of these, and for the price you couldn't ask for more. I was dissapointed about how they don't pick up low hz... but for being lowest model they do the job. Overall durability could be better, but still bangin in the IA.

Amazing sound for a small price!

I put this sub in my car with a sealed enclosure and giving it 250 watts so far and even with half power its hitting hard and the sound is amazing. No complaints at all!

Nice Sub

Great sub, put it in my wifes hatchback SUV in a small sealed box. Doesnt drop as low as I would want it in my truck but she loves it for her country/pop style music. Maybe with more airspace it would hit harder but I dont know currently in .7 cuft.

great for the price

I had 2 of these a few years ago they are worth every penny 2 will sound good but 4 would sound better

Great subs! A+

I bought two of these and put them in a sealed box, I'm knockin them with a 400watt kenwood amp. This stuff pounds so hard, my friends all have tens with a thousand watt amps and I only have a 400 watt and it pounds twenty times harder. I could easily say, for the price of these babys, DEFIANTLY BUY IF YOUR LOOKING FOR SOME GOOD KNOCK IN YOUR RIDE (:

good budget speaker

i have 2 of these at first i put a 300 watt amp on them and i was disappointed but after i bought a better amp they really shined. if you wanna buy these i recommend building your own enclosure give them 2 cubic feet each and tune to 35 hz and throw 350 to 400 hundred at 1 or for 2 throw 7 to 8 hundred clean unclipped power. for that price its tough to beat. they are not spl record setters but two of them in proper enclosure with good power is a good starter system

Bass of the Bass

I have two of these in my s10 and man do they sound good. They are in a vented box with a 700watt Alpine and it is louder than ever. I would recommend these to those who are on a budget but want to shake peoples mirrors going down the road.

I had my doubt...

But it was fixed by adding poly fill, to my sealed box. For 40bucks? Reviews say different but with at least 200w (rms/500max) amp pushing, this s&!@ bumps. I face it, not out to impress, just want my bass to sound good. like I said I had my doubt...

CANT GO WRONG FOR THE MONEY

I bought a pair of these subs and put them in a q logic ported box and ran them on an Infinity 600a and ran 600 watts RMS @ 2 ohms (gain adjusted accordingly) and they sounded great. Im an audiophile and they definitely impressed me for a $70 pair of subs.

Budget bass!!!

I paired this subwoofer with a 2.5 cu ft. Box tuned @ 34 Hz powered by a rockford fosgate prime r250.1d and the output and clarity was beyond surprising for the $ to bass ratio.. Clean little sub, not really a chest pounding / eyeball shaking subwoofer, however it's a hands down upgrade from nearly ANY stock audio system with a built in subwoofer.

PowerBass PS-12

These subs are by far one of my favor subs, they are as good as $90 kicker subs, they are very good for the price, and sound really good sealed box.

good buy

Great sub for the money. Im running 600 watts in a 2.5 cub ported box sounds clean.

More than what I expected

I purchased just one of these to put in a sealed box for my van expecting to at least add an "OK" amount of bass, but instead this sub really impressed me! I had it hooked up in a 2.25 cu sealed enclosure getting a clean solid 250watts RMS @ 4ohms & the sound is very VERY loud with amazing clarity. I recommend this 12" to anyone on a low budget that wants serious, quality low-range enhancement. Well built & fantastic deal! I've purchased many things from Sonic & they ROCK (in more ways than one) Five stars the whole way!

they good bang 4 ya buck

i have 6 12s in the trunk running 3 1000watt amps and they are worth what you pay for for a non comp sub it hits hard!!

2 POWER BASS IN AN EXPLORER

I have two of these power bass in the back of my ford explorer they are powered by a 1200 pioneer mono blck amp and i makes my back window flex.

these are awesome

i have 4 of these in a custom vented box in the back of my explorer and they sound amazing. definitely recommend.

Clean and tight

Put this in sealed 1.2 mdf box w 400w rms and wow. Pounds nice and tight and clean. Good sub

PowerBass PS-12

These are really nice subs for the price, they are really powerful. I have used these subs in the past, the only dislike about this sub is the terminal connections they are not the "push terminals".

Read this before you build your box

First I would like to mention this is a great sub for $40, and sounds comparable to a Rockford P1 sub. I purchased this to add to my garage stereo so I was not limited size wise for building an enclosure, so I looked at the specs here on Sonic and on the Powerbass USA website which says the optimum size for a sealed enclosure is 1.25 cubic feet, so I built my box to 1.25 cubic feet to have ready when the sub arrived. Sub arrived and the paperwork with it says the optimum sealed enclosure size is 1.7 cubic feet, so my box is almost 1/2 cube short which will cause some loss on those "deep" bass notes. I added some polyfill to help make up for the loss in cubic feet. I wish it had push terminals, other than that this is an excellent sub for the price.

good for the money

I had two of these in a ported box in my s10 blazer a few years back for a starter system and they held up great never gave out or anything. I would deff recommend them for the price and to someone that doesn't know too much about car audio to learn from.

great bang for the buck

put one behind the seat of a single cab truck with a 750w kenwood amp. i worked at a audio shop and was impressed with how loud and clear it was. its not a compatition sub, but not bad at all. great bang for the buck.

power bass

i built a custom enclosure for this woofer, threw clean power to it and a memphis pr12 murders it, if this should give you an answer to entry-level powerbass. their competition stuff is awesome give this speaker a 2 but you also get what you pay for

Can't wait to get it. I heard it was a good subwoofer.
