Description


VIBE brand icon

Authorized dealer

Bringing style, performance, and value across the Atlantic Ocean, Vibe Audio introduced their Black Air car subwoofers. Along the line-up of Vibe subwoofers, the Black Air series falls right in the middle as a perfect combination of value and performance. The solid alloy torsion basket that is found on many of the Vibe Audio is also found on this subwoofer. This adds strength and support for all the moving parts of the woofer’s motor structure. Among other components, the double spider construction and the single Y35 ferrite magnet help keep the woofer motion linear and the bass smooth. Made from stiff poly-glass, the bright yellow cone not only looks great, but creates bass notes with virtually zero distortion. Connection is made tight and secure with the screw terminals that hold the speaker wire firmly in place. For those looking for clean, affordable bass, the VIBE Audio Black Air 12 is a brilliant solution.

Awesome Sound!

I bought two of these thinking I was getting an entry level speaker and I was pleasantly surprised to see that this was a top of the line subwoofer. Just the craftsmanship was evidence, but when I installed them in a Audio Enhancers 2 12" box they palyed both musically and loud.

Great Product!

Seeing the price of what it was and what it used to be i thought it was going to be a piece of crap. But i get it, install it and WOW. This thing on a alpine mrp450 which ONLY pushes 400 rms at 2 ohms is pretty dang loud. Highly recommend if you don't have a lot of money to spend on sub-woofers.

Great looks...great sound...loud!!

Bought from SonicElectronix and arrived at my house 3 days later...installed in 1.50 cft sealed box wired at 4 ohms to my JBL GTO amp which is approx 500 watts rms. This sub gets loud and sounds great doing it on all types of music....highly recommended

Crazy

These things WANG! My system is in a custom built box and they beat better than my friends Kicker Comps. I can't get enough of these. Sonic Electronix is also pretty awesome. I've bought all of my cars electronics from them and it wasn't that pricey.

Loud and affordable

This sub worked great it hit hard all the time and was very crisp. I was running it with a Rockford Fosgate amp that was pushing a little over 600rms for a year now and it still sounds great really good quality sub.
