absolutely awesome subwoofer

If your a basshead then this is the sub for you. I've had this sub for 2 years now and I bought it to replace a pair of 12" RF T1's and wow! It's a monster even at 1800 watts. Hand built not that junk that RF and Kicker are selling now days made in china. Yes it is heavy, yes it is alot more expensive than some other subs but its money well spent, you won't be disappointed.
