Summary:
This is a great subwoofer. I have a pair of 15''s in a built-to-specs box hooked up to a Baja 400W amp all in a 1999 Dodge Intrepid. Everything is hooked up to the factory system. I hooked these up right after I built the box for them, and the first time I turned them on all I heard was distortion! I was all disappointed. BUT just 2 weeks ago I wizened up and decided to give these babies another try. (They were in the back seat mind you) So I played hookie from school, and messed around with the polarity of the subs to the amp. I turned on Snoop Dogg''s "Ghetto Symphony" and when the first bass line hit, I was tingling with absolute JOY!! They hit so HARD!!!! Only 125 watts going to each of these things too! And while it sounds like I have a $800 system, my system only cost $140!!! Everything I got was bought off of uBid.com. This is my first system, being only 15, but I personally think I''m off to a pretty good start with these 15''s!

Strengths:
These have loud, DEEP bass. AND, you don''t have to have a 1,000 watt amp to power these. They are very sensitive so they don''t need that much power to get them THUMPIN''

Weaknesses:
NONE!!

Summary:
I paid $90+ shipping for two of them. For the money these subs rock. They hit low, and are accurate for 15''s. If you can pick them up cheap, I would say go for it.

Strengths:
Pounds for the money. You dont need alot of power to make them pound.

Weaknesses:
Weak surround of them becomes unglued if you put enough power to them.
