Honda Accord EX
Strength:
Nice low bass when they drop and can definitely be felt when they hit. If you want people to hear you coming down the street and rattle window panes and home interior in your house these are the subs that will do it and not leave you broke. Nice subs. I've had 4 of these subs since 96 and they are great. I would love some w3s or w6s but for now these are just fine. They hit pretty hard and drop pretty low as well. They do cut out on some notes. I have a small RF 360a2 pushing them and am very pleased with the sound. You defintely can hear these subs coming down the street. They're better than some RFs I've tried. The voice coils on the subs have burnt off a couple of times but have been able to be repaired. Other than that I love these subs. Similar Products Used: Rockford Fosgate |

Strength:
Cheap(Great entry level sub) Effective Better than anything I've heard in the price range.(Even with the old design that it is) The w3 and w6 can only be that much better
Weakness:
N/A For the price. What more do you want for the $$$. I bought 3 12wo(Power wedge box) and alpine 1500W bridged amp for $700 Can. Holy Loud!!! They are rated 125rms each, but handle the power fine. Best spl 142.5DB. I think sealed with high powered amp is the way to go. My 4 10wo ported didn't like the alpine. Similar Products Used: MTX Cerwin Vega |

Strength:
Huge bass Very little distortion clean crisp sound good power handling
Weakness:
haven't found any yet Ive had my subs for about a week know, o cant believe how hard these little 10"s pound. I have 3of them behind my seats with a bolt 1050 watt amplifier. I can crank them up to full knotch and they have no distortion that the ear can hear. My sister got some rockford fosgates which don't sound as loud nor as clean as these 10 wo's do. I recomend them to anyone with little money to spear that wants massive bass. Similar Products Used: bolt 1050 mono amp |

i can fart louder than a Wo I've always used JL Audio subs, i really like the clear bass it gives off. I personally am a big fan of ground shaking bass and the 12 Wos werent cuttin it, so i got 4. This was loud, but no where easy as loud as the 2 12 W4s i have now. Similar Products Used: anything best buy sells rockford, kenwood, etc, something little. |

Strength:

Weakness:
lacks really deep bass i always loved jl subs. i was runing 1 12w6 in my civic. And i want to but my other 2 12w6's in the trunk but didnt have the room with my air tanks in the trunk so a buddie of mine had two 12w0 brand new in a box he didnt want so i bought them thinking they wouldnt hit hard, since all i heard was w0's suck and so on. But i was surprised how load and hard they hit hooked up to my jl 500x1 amp. i tell everyone i know to buy the w0's if they have a small budget. the w0's hit harder and louder than all the other subs i ever owned. but if you can afford w6's get them.

pisses my dad off when i pull up in the driveway. good low bass 125rms can actually take thousands never had any problems so its hard to believe others have good price
Weakness:
just not loud enough for me so im getting 2 audiobahn 15" flame comression subs much distortion at high volume annoying high bass sounds truck boxes are gay i bought 2 of these subs a year ago and never had any problem with them. some of the reviews ive read on this site claim that they produce 150+ spl's which i am sure is not true. i have mine in 2 truck boxes behind the seats of my truck and they make the seats look like they are about to blow out of the cab, no joke. they rumble everything in my truck and people hear me coming from a block away no problem. the reason i know 150dB is ridiculous is because human eardrums burts at 130-140 and i crank mine all the way up with no pain, unless of course my windows are closed and the pressure builds up, ouch.
