Does the trick

I caught it on sale with a 1 cubic ft sealed box that they say is too small. It seems to be doing just fine. I was worried that one wouldn’t be enough but I’m satisfied. It sounds great, plenty loud, looks good and I’m highly satisfied.

Good sub for the price

For the price point it performed well. It handles the bass good but dont expect it to get to the really low notes. I have 2 hooked to a mono amp and they sound very good. best budget subs I have had so far.

Perfect little sub!

For the power ratings and how shallow the sub is. It sounds great! I wired it down to 2 ohms and it sounds great. For the price, this is a perfect sub. It is in a 2010 altima sedan. And it sounds just as good as two 12s that were about 1000 watt rms. Highly reccomend this sub.
