pretty good sub

I have one of these in my car and I'm running 700 watts into it and its taken it pretty well and it hasn't blown yet. sounds really good in a sealed box people are very surprised when I tell them I just a have a single 10"

Very Good Entry Level

I got one of my friends into loving the car audio world by starting with the purchase of this subwoofer. My experience is they sound really good in a ported box and slightly makes the dash rumble. I would recommend this to beginners looking into after market equipments. Very good selection and hard at first to find.

great starter subs

i had these subs hooked up to a pioneer GM 5300, giving each subwoofer 125 Watts RMS a piece. and these things slammed. i just sold them not to long ago to my brother in law, and he is loving them. great product.
