700W Image Dynamics CTX124 + Enclosure Bass Package

Extremely disappointed...

Image Dynamics has always had a terrific reputation, so I didn't hesitate to buy these woofers based on that. To my dismay, these things are cheap garbage.

I purchased two CTX124's. On the first one, the cone and basket were misaligned so that the mounting holes in the rubber gasket didn't line up with the holes in the steel basket. On top of that, there was no glue between the basket and the surround.

Unforgivable quality control.

The second seemed to be assembled correctly, but the plastic logo 'cover' was broken off into pieces and the sticker underneath was peeling off.

I can't comment on how they sound since as soon as I opened up the boxes and inspected the subs, they got boxed back up again and are awaiting an RMA from Sonicelectronix.

Come on ID, Eric Stevens has gone, has your commitment to excellence gone too???

Great Subwoofer

Installed these a few days ago and was SEVERELY disappointed. They really didn't get deep like i wanted them to, but after doing a little tuning and realizing that the crossover on my Amp was a lot more "sub" friendly than the head unit, these things sing! I am very happy. Running 2 in a ported box off of 400 watts from a Powerbass 5 channel amp. I definetly would recommend them.

awesome

just installed this sub and it sounds great. still tuning my system, no clue what im doing really, but so far it sounds really awesome. it can hit some very deep bass, on faster beats it keeps up very well. only pushing 150 watts and the tuning isnt right, but inside the car the sub fills it with deep rich clean sounding bass. Cant really hear outside of the car that much, which i like, inside though it awesome.

no cons at this point, just installed. but i heard great things about this company. also heard these subs and being lable as musical subs. more sq than spl.

got this sub with a box packaged by sonic, shipping is awesome. 3 days total, for free. box had a mark on it showing bare wood, no problem really.

decent

Well it is well built strong and stuff but I ordered a black one and got a gray one. And put 2 12 inch Rockford Fosgate punch P3's in it but had to cut some of the mdf so they would fit so if you want to put p3s in it you probably will have to modify it.

decent box

It's alright for a smaller sealed box. they make the sub holes big enough for almost any 12 so theres a good chance theyre a bit too big for your sub and you need to center the sub and drill outward to not strip the screws.

Well its a sub box, premade.

Have a couple of el cheapo hifonics subs in them. Sounds nice and clean. good carpet. Crappy of UPS to bang the one end of the box around so hard, some of the MDF was crushed but didn't cause a problem.

It's ok, but not great.

I was looking for a quick and cheap box for my subs (Boston G5 12"s) since I had to leave my old one back home. The box itself looks great but mine came with the lower left of the front baffle knocked inward some so I had to bang it outward with a mallet. The inside had to be sealed with caulk and the thin amount of poly that lines the interior does nothing, rip it all out and add some yourself. The binding posts are very cheap but work. With an all square design it doesn't sound as good as other sealed enclosures with a slanted back even with trying various amounts of polyfill. The Absolute logo just hangs on the carpet by a small amount of glue and mine came off after a week of use. It gets the job done but not as well as other pre-made sealed enclosures I've used. Next time I'll just spend a little more and get a better quality box.

Solidly Constructed But Airspace Claims Are Incorrect

I had to deduct a star on the overall score because of the slightly smaller air space then what I needed. Most 12's today require between 1-1.5 cu ft min and with a strong enough amp would work fine with this box. Also, be aware of the recessed front plate when choosing this box. It makes for a very clean / attractive look but some of the higher end 12s with oversized mounting rings may not fit. I am running 2 Kenwood KFC-W3013PS subs and they barely fit but look and sound GREAT.
They hit hard, low, and clean and still maintain musicality.

sub box

Sealed box. It does what you pay for it to do.

Great box

I installed two 12w0v2s in this box about 6 months ago. Very happy with the sound I am getting. Very sturdy box, and the pollyfill is nice too.
