    Blew the voice coil only running 500 watts, not worth even the 50$ Look into alpine or pioneer instead.

    Bass for Royalty

    I have a pair of these in my 04 tahoe, ran off of a 16 YO MTX 2 chan. Amp, and let me tell you, even without any help from a inline bass booster, you will never listen to music the same again. These are IMO well built, for the price unbeatable, and with a little knowledge in the EQ section, you can truly diversify your sound. Out of the current 1073 songs on my phone, theses subs deliver with satisfaction on anysong, everytime. If you have a inline bass booster, (which in all reality is NOT needed with any modern amp)(I just have oldschool stuff) you can really bump. If your like me, you want that intimate feeling of the bass, gracefully caressing you, complementing your mids and highs, even in the most mellow and somber violin songs. If your bipolar like me, you want the jaw rattling, widow making bass that doesnt just sound like white noise, these subs can easily do that too. IMO These subs are truly good, unbelievably capable, and perfect for anybody that wants reliable bass, with clean, defying sound. And if you pair two of these up with the kenwood mono amp @300rms (think thats right), you truly, truly will not be disappointed. Definitely worth the money, don't plague your decision to buy these because of price, brand, or worry about quality. You deserve the experience that comes with these.
