Awesome sound quality and very loud ! Put it in CT sounds ported box and powering it with nvx 750.1BD very impressive and sonic is great

The following review is for ARENA 12, which is a part of the bundle you are viewing.

This is the best sounding sub I've ever have ! Good thing my nvx x boost has a clip indicator because it don't really distort lol I have it in a ct sounds kerf ported 35hrz and it sounds awesome from bass songs to country ????. I totally recommend and yes I agree with the other comments. It could easily take 1 k rms . I'm powering it with a NVX 750 .1 that has 800 rms an I can turn the gain all the way up . Did I mention it gets lound especially for one 12 in my frontier. I'm totally satisfied with JBL , NVX and sonic

Beast Of A Sub

The following review is for ARENA 12, which is a part of the bundle you are viewing.

I would say that my biggest complaint with the woofer is that the box I used for it needed to get sanded down as the metal basket for this sub is pretty thick so that took about a bit less than an hour to do. Other than that, this sub is surprisingly loud and provides nice clean bass. I think the only sub I would say is better than it that I’ve heard is a T1, but it’s pretty close and I haven’t heard a T1 in a while. I’m powering it with an audio control amp and it’s the LC1.800. I think the sub could comfortably handle a 1000 watt amp but the audio control amp is doing a great job in my opinion.
