Strength:
DEEP BASS and clear! Great bass and insanely clear.
Weakness:
Can tend to rattle a little too much and get out of control. I love these subs and will continue to use them until I find another reason to not. |

Strength:
DEEEEEEP bass
Weakness:
Could use a bigger magnet, but other than that its awesome. These subs are worth every penny. Ibought two with a subbox and only have a 200 watt amp right now and it shakes all my mirrors.If you ever find them, BUY THEM. They are great. |

Strength:
Exceptionally efficient and suitable for hornloading and quarterwave enclosures, Qts-Qms work of audio art.The enclosure determines the results.Suitable for high-compliance Watt-for-Watt SPL competition (130dB+).Highly recomended.Low cost.
Weakness:
The drivers suspension may bottom if power greater than 55W high current(160W low current)is applied below Fo.This driver was never intended for power in this range in a ported enclosure and care must be taken. I'm an acoustic engineer and in my years of experience I have tested, built, and sold many drivers.I bought two Jensen XS1212 drivers and it took 52 hours to break them in with a modulated sine pulsing form 20 to 75 hz at 40W.These drivers are exceptionally efficient and possess the inherent properties(Qms and Qts) required to be used in quarterwave and foldedhorn enclosures.When properly loaded into a resonating enclosure a single driver can exceed (vehicle cabin)130 dB(50-55Hz) with 30W high current and maintain a F3 of 30Hz and an Fo of 26hz.Using stock deck,no amplifier, literally my voice will flutter with the pulsing sound waves and the vehicle as a whole resonates violently.After 5 minutes my ears were in pain for 6 days.A superior driver.Powerful amplifiers mean nothing-acoustics mean everything.JF Similar Products Used: MTX Thunder7500,Clarion SRW 1243,Rockford Fosgate P115s4,T212D4,P315D4,Pioneer TS-W3002SPL,ETC. |

Strength:
deep excursion for clear deep bass, easy to wire, looks good, VERY LOUD for your dollar
Weakness:
cheap looking frame/magnet Awesome subwoofer for the price. I have 2 of these things in my car, with a 400 watt amplifier pushing both of them in parallel. These things pound if you put them in a huge box. I have a custom dual chambered bandpass box. They carry bass good, and hit very hard. You can hear me comin' from a mile away, LITERALLY Similar Products Used: none others |

Strength:
Extra Large Surround for extra movement, get more sound out of less power
Weakness:
Kinda on the low side on power handling I had an MTX Thunder 6000 before, and this thing hits about equal to my old MTX. It is a little more throaty though and has more range than my MTX did. And for the price, ya can't go wrong. Eventually I'm gonna go bigger... probably ta 2 Rockford Fosgate subs and amps, but until then... this is good enough. My neighbors seem ta think so ;-) Similar Products Used: MTX, Memphis, JL Audio, Audiobahn (Nothing really that great...yet) |

Strength:
has good suspension for deep pounding bass. easy to fing and good price.
Weakness:
none My girlfriend bought me one of these 12" subs for my birthday at a pawn shop for thirty-five dollers. I built a big bandpass box for it and I have to say that it sounds pretty damn good. I play a lot of bass cd's through it and it handles everything pretty good.I abuse it very hard and it still sounds good. It sends loud deep bass waves that you can hear across a parking lot. for a medium powered speaker it sounds and handles really good. Similar Products Used: kicker comp 10" mtx blue thunder 12" |
