i love this sub, you push it to the limits and it asks for more. rms is 800watts but i've had 1300w on mine and it loved it.
I have 2 of these in a ported box hooked up to a hifonics tx1005d amp in the trunk of my 99 camry. These subs are no joke. If u want extreme bass for an unbeatable price these are the way to go. When i fix my blazer im puttin 6 of em in the back.
I have 1 of these in a 2001 trans am and it pounds. it hits harder than my 12" kicker L5 i had. I have it running at about 1300 watts every day and i have no problems out of it.
I have 2 in a ported Box hook up Pioneer SPL3000D in my 2002 Jetta . Just the the clean bass and pressure. Broke my back dash!!!!!!!!!!
i have 2 of them in my blazer with the Premier PRS-D1200M D class amp and for the money you cant beat it it hits hard
I have 2 of these in a 5 cubic feet ported box with 60 sq in of port area, tuned to 50 Hz. This is a good setup for these subs, though a smaller volume will do just fine, down to 3 cf. The woofers are larger and heavier than the pictures imply. Especially for only an 85oz magnet. Also, the excursion is quite small (0.7") for an SPL sub. This produces a stronger, punchier bass, but won't get the best dBs, unless you give them plenty of power and an optimally designed box (see above). There has a definite power range, 200w to 700w RMS of "clean power" (each). At and above the 200w RMS range, they really wang. With proper power, they perform equally to most 12's, but don't expect too much clarity at low listening volumes. Build quality is excellent, though the terminals could be larger and the paint on the front ring scrapes off easily. Otherwise, excellent sub and an incredible value. Compares to most entry-level SPL subs, like Orion HCCAs, Audioque SD2.5's, even though they have 1/2 the magnet size, the suspension and cone design make up for it.
