Well built , dosn't need much power to achieve good spl.

Critical to placement.

I Picked this up from auction and was a little sceptical due to the age, I guessed this was at least 5 years old. However I was not disapointed these things are definately built to last. Rock solid and heavy, this pounds needing little power to get things moving. I hooked it up to my 5 channel V12 amp and was very impressed about 80rms.. I listen to R & B and this tube suits it to a tee.. At 200 it started to rattle the boot so I bought a dynamat trunk kit now it sounds better than ever.

I've used this unit for over 3 years. The bass is very strong and distortion free. I am powering it with a Pioneer 25 watt amp bridged into 80 watts RMS/160 peak. I can't get my doors to rattle, but the sound quality is great. The sub is very sensitive to placement and distance from the wall of the trunk. About 3 3/4 inches is perfect. If the sub slides left or right, the sound quality changes. Because I am using a Tri-way cross over to send bass frequencies to the sub, the 6db crossover puts the phase about 90 degrees out. Use a 12 db crossover and hook up the leads out of phase.

The newer subs can take 200 watts RMS, but the more power you send the less efficient the sub.

The sub is great for adding bass. I would recommend using two with a large amp and electronic crossover with a variable low frequency cutt-off.
