these subs r for anyone who wants nice clean(loud) bass at the cheapest price cant find these subs at best buy(only the 4ohm) or any major retailer sounds f^@king great in my grand am just make sure u got the right amp 4 these bad boys im going with 2 alpine mrp-m500 max power to each speaker and this will rumble u in places u never thought ud want rumbled but all in all surely the best speakers for the price but if u got the extra money id go with the JL audio 12w3v3's they r just better built

These subs are great! I've had them in my trunk for about a year now and they still sound amazing. I have them in a ported box wired to a hifonics brutus 1200w amplifier. Im giving each sub 600 watts and it still sounds great. Definitely a good buy.

I am running two of these @2ohms powered by a Kicker zx1.1000 and they slam hard!

I've had this for several years now and I haven't had a problem with it at all. It hits really hard and I don't even use it to full capacity because it can be too much bass at times. It hits really deep/hard, I have it in a ported box and it sounds very clean. I'm powering it with a Kenwood KAC amp, running more than 500w RMS. I shouldn't be doing that, but still it hasn't blown anyway.

i had a kicker comp vr and it was a little less money then this. i havce an alpine 500 watt rms amp, and thats what i was running with the compvr, for a while it was hitting smoothly. it sooned burned out. literally. i got this and now i can turn that amp up all the way and the alpine type r can handle it easily. i am so happy with it that i want to upgrade and get two.
