Awesome Sound!

The following review is for a previous version (BA12-V1).

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!

The following review is for a previous version (BA12-V1).

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!!

The following review is for a previous version (BA12-V1).

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

Buy These!!!!

I was amazed to find out that this sub woofer at only 450RMS watts @ 4 ohms from my Brutus Hifonics BXI1200 shook the floor board of my Chrysler 300. The bass of this woofer is the strongest that I have heard in years. I have one of these mounted in a sealed box. The bass is deep and clean. I am an audiophile at heart and I have listened to many different subs and this one is by far the best I have heard. Don't let the name brand fool you. The British engineers knew what they were doing. Buy this!!!!

Crazy

The following review is for a previous version (BA12-V1).

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.

Impressive & advanced

I previously owned/used the Hifonics HFX12D4 because of best sound& bass for cheap price.
I eventually blew them out four times but they sounded their best at their limit.
I put in two "black air" and side by side with two Hifonics.
I never knew a 12" woofer was capable of such intense bass.
They totally sound like true competition stuff.
Just two of these pumping at an estimated 400w rms each and they try to strike fear into your spine from amount of air movement.
These easily play twice as power full and the excursion of the cones is impressive.

The real question is how long they will last, but from looking & installing them,
they simply are far ahead of any woofers I have ever seen.
Even the underside of the glass woven cone has a stiff frame behind it.
These woofers definitely earn their title of "Black air".

Loud and affordable

The following review is for a previous version (BA12-V1).

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.
