Amazing sub.

These subwoofers are amazing, They are definitely up there with the Sundown SA-8 V.2 D2. Price point of these are what drew me in. I would recommend this to anyone that wants the Sundown but is looking for that price break.

massive audio is MASSIVE

OK i bought the massive hippo because of the reviews as well as the price for a sub wooffer with those specs. i bought a pyle non power bass tube and gutted it. trashed all the pyle components and upgraded the wiring and added the hippo sub. i used a massive nano amp to power it. the system kicks like a bull. ALL my friend and people swear i am using at least a twelve inch sub the bass is INSANE coming from this little 8 inch.

Nice upgrade

I had 2 Massive Audio Summo84 subs running on a Massive Audio E2 amp that I loved. I decided to try the Hippos due to my box being a little better suited for them over the Summos. My box is 2.17cuft total ported tuned to 36hz. Swapped out the subs, same box, same amp and damn I couldn’t believe the difference. Wasn’t expecting much but they carry the lows so much better shaking everything more than those Summos did. Now don’t get me wrong the Summo series 8 is an impressive sub for the size but Hippos can get you better quality bass. Can’t wait to power them to full potential.

Stunning for an 8"

I stuck a single HIPPO in a stealth box - replacing the middle seat of a standard cab pick-up. Obviously, there's not a lot of box volume and I chose to fire it downward powered by 1000W.

The output is absolutely crazy, but I'm stunned by how low the sub pulls naturally with a flat eq settings.

Gets down

I made a 1 cubic foot box with a half-inch by 12-inch port. This thing sounds good I am thinking about putting one more in. But one 8 inch sub that is loud and sounds amazing I would buy more of these just on the price point alone.

Tight accurate bass

Like everybody has said these things produce amazing tight bass , they hit lows in a properly tuned box like I've never heard in my life. make sure you give these things a 800-1000 watts if you're running 2. Don't make the mistake I did though when screwing them into the box my screwdriver slipped and I punctured the surround. Luckily it was a small hole and gorilla tape on both sides fixed it no leaks. I gave it four stars also because the gasket around the rim has a crack it's not rubbery it feels like dried plastic. Regardless the sub seems to have sealed against MDF. Check out concept enclosures box for this sub on eBay you can copy the specs or buy one from them as it's a lot of work . 4" ports @ 13in long I believ
