  1. that sucks dont get that if u insist on getting it i think its on sale on sonicelectronix for cheaper.


  2. wow, that's really cheap for a whole system. my single 12' inch subs cost more than the whole thing haha, but if you don't want to spend much and just want some bump in the trunk then get it.

  3. ye  its good but you couild still go bigger if u want that bass that rattles all the loose parts of your car

  4. yes

  5. No good..go with a better brand like: kicker,alpine,sony,pioneer...

  6. thats a really **** brand and really **** stuff. you would be better of buying one 12" subwoofer of a good brand and a descent 2 channel amplifier instead of buying that. the sound that these subs would provie wouldnt compara to one 12" alpine type s and thats about the same price. hope i helped.

  7. NO, NO, NO, and h**l NO

    take your time and save up a little (you can spend that on subs or an amp, but ot both)

    the cheap stuff like that does not last and will just cause you headaches down the road and more money

    its non CEA-compliant

    you would be lucky if the amp puts out half of the advertised RMS wattage and it would more than likely be distorted (the main cause of speaker damage) and the subs would be toast if you really sent 250watts RMS to each of them

    with CEA-compliant brands the amps have been tested and produce of exceed the advertised RMS wattage with minimum distortion and the subs can handle their rated RMS wattage also

    here are the CEA-compialnt brands

    Alpine (highly recommend)

    Bazooka (don't like their subs)

    Blaupunkt (don't like their subs)

    Clarion

    Eclipse

    Infinity (highly recommend)

    JBL

    JL Audio (very good but over priced)

    JVC

    Kenwood (don't like their subs)

    Kicker (the best in my opinion)

    Memphis

    MTX (highly recommend)

    Orion

    Pioneer

    Polk Audio (highly recommend)

    PPI

    Rockford Fosgate (highly recommend)

    Sony (don't like their subs)

    if its not CEA-compliant you dont know the REAL RMS wattage and without that info its impossible to correctly match your equipment, heres what can happen

    If you send too much power to your sub, you risk damaging it. The cone of the speaker and the mechanical parts that make it move may break under the stress. Surprisingly, too little power can also damage your subwoofer — in fact, it's actually more common than damage caused by overpowering.

    When the volume is turned up and the amp doesn't have enough power, the signal becomes distorted, or "clipped." This distorted signal can cause parts of the speaker to overheat, warp and melt. Not good!

    You don't have to match speaker and amp wattages exactly. An amp with a higher output than the speaker's rating won't necessarily damage the speaker — just turn the amp down a bit if you hear distortion from the sub and don't run the speaker at extremely loud volumes for lengthy periods. Likewise, you'll be OK with a lower powered amp if you keep the volume down and don't feed a distorted signal to the sub.

    heres what i would recommend for a GOOD starter system

    (about $400) these subs and box http://www.sonicelectronix.com/item_3867... with this amp http://www.sonicelectronix.com/item_8651... or this amp http://www.sonicelectronix.com/item_5027...

    hope this helps, good luck
