Great subs for the money. Have them in a sealed 1.6cuft in the trunk of my 72 Riviera powered by a Pioneer 1200W amp and the bass is very deep and accurate. I have a hand held dB meter and have seen 120s on music at moderate levels power levels.

Shocking performance from this low priced sub. Put on a 300 watt mono amp in a 1 cu ft box, this thing pounds.

This is one awsome sub for sq! If ur looking for spl, look some were else. I have 2 in different vehicles with this sub in a one CF box and it takes a good 15 - 20 hours for this speaker to start sounding good and then it only improves from there. So give this sub some time. I also have the 15 and it took almost 40 hours of high levels of play time for it to start to sound good. So I guess be patient and these things really do rock. I listen to mainly oldies and rock
