Nice Bass

man i have 2 friends that have this and these shizzles hit hard, nice, and clean..

1 friend has 2 of these in an unported box with an audiobahn 1200 watt amp pushin it and it raddles the hell out of you when your in it.. it feels like my eardrums are about to burst!

my other friend has a 01 toyota tacoma ext cab and he has 1 in a ported box while being pushed by a 1200 watt performance teknique amp and man oh man this is some clean ass bass! the ported box gives it a different deeper bass.. i like them in a ported box better but no doubt these speakers are a bad mutha lol.. i recomend these to anyone

Clean Bass!!!!!

These are great subs for SQ!!!!!! I have these powered with a Rockford Fosgate Punch 700S amp and these subs can produce a loud bass without loosing any SQ. The only reason i got the 8 Ohm was because i got them cheap from a friend so if you were to buy W3's I would suggest getting the DVC 4 Ohm.

By Inland on March 6, 2009


i have had two of these in a suburban with a 1000/1 JL amp and they sound great. i would recommend this product to anyone.
