THESE HIT HARD!

These things amaze me. You need to get em. I have them in a box thats .50cuft smaller than they are designed for and they hit hard. Not only to they hit hard but they sound amazing. The only thing ive noticed is they get hot quick.

A Good Sub for the cost

i didnt use this sub but i bought one and installed it in a fiends truck. i intalled it in small truck box and it was fine. i used a small lanzar 800 watt amp and it worked good. recomended for when space is an issue and for a good cheap solution for bass.

Bass Bass and more Bass

This thing hits hard as well you know. I have this mounted in a sealed enlosure with an internal volume of 1.19 cu/ft lightly stuffed with poly fill and it slams. I have the Boss 1100 watt mono amp from Sonic Electronix powering it and I tell you they are a matched pair. The price is great and so is the looks. I hope to make everyone jealous this summer on the wate since it is in my boat.

buy these subs!

These subs are simply amazing for the price, i've seen many systems with woofers triple the price of these and these sound just as good or better, I have a Pioneer 1200 watt monoblock amp powering these subs and they POUND. They sound amazing and hit hard, i would definitely recommend these to anyone for a price that cant be beat. Thanks Sonic!
