awesome sub

i have 2 of these m3 8'' subs and they are loud and they are a true 600rms subs and they can take more than that they hit very low and sound clear
i recommend them for any one looking for an 8'' sub at the same rated rms

Wow !!

Honestly, i thought 8" will be weak for me because my previous one was 10" very powerful and was shaking the vehicle very nice. but one of my friends just forced me to sell him the sub.
then i heard from an experienced person about this one and next day just bought it...
i have no words.. i have only one in my trank and all the vehicle is shaking like "washing machine with bricks inside"...
i did not believe how powerfull can be one 8" single sub.

So much noise from little woofers

I bought these in search of a high BL and lower FS 8 and these fit the bill.

For such small cone area these things produce big noise. And they play really low (22hz).

I have 2 of them and did a mini hair trick from the trunk (26hz) they're being feed 1200 watts clamped rms each (not recommended voids warranty) and they get down. Redoing baffle and getting a 3rd soon hoping to break a 145 at head rest with these and I'll be happy.
