1999 10.5 2-ohm
Strength:
Fits into small enclosures, sings half the midbass, tight tight tight!
Weakness:
Needs a LOT of power - but look at that driver and you'll know why. The Boston Pros, in construction, fit somewhere between music subs (Image Dynamics, JL Audio, a/d/s, etc.) and death-by-bass SPL subs (Orion, Earthquake, Ground Zero). Fortunately, they combine the best of both worlds, being musical and extremely powerful at the same time. The downside is that, yes, you actually DO have to feed them that much power. Not necessarily the rated 1000W for a 10.5LF, but at least 500W. They are more musical than most subs out there, definitely in their power range. And they punch holes in the walls of your car. Expensive, but worth the dough. Similar Products Used: Kicker Solo-Baric 15", a/d/s, Image Dynamics - better than any of them. |

Strength:
Smooth sound with a great punch for Sound Quality
Weakness:
credit it deserves I had 4 kicker CompVR 12's in an extended cab of a ranger. AND that was just to friggen loud. If you want just bass and make you dizzy while you sit this is way to go. I had fun with this system, test at 150+dbs in the cab. My right ear started to feel weird so I decided to sell it all. And box I had in there took up to much room.

Strength:
This sub can slam! And it slams musically and with plenty of class and style.
Weakness:
The enclosure must be meticullously be built. Absolute no air leaks. This baby requires a lot of power, and once you feed it power, your trunk/car will rattle so much that you'll need to dampen it. This sub is an absolute must for those who desire good sound along with nice, tight bass. DO NOT put this sub into a bandpass box. It will not hit right and you'll think less of Boston Subs. Please, follow the specs: .5 cu feet for a 10", and you'll be pleased with the results. Similar Products Used: Boston Acoustic RS, Polk EX, Alpine |
