Is the power acoustik brand of subs any good?

Question

im thinking about buying one but i dont know if power acoustik is any good for just hitting hard or what?

Answer 1

I would not buy either one of those.  Save up some more money or start shopping for some used stuff.  Check car audio message forums, e-bay, craigs list, etc.

Answer 2

Neither one are even decent brands. Go with a good brand, just purchase their entry level subs. A company like JL, Rockford Fosgate, Memphis, etc...

Answer 3

its very over rated, if you gave it the "real" RMS wattage that it is rated for you will blow it fast

you need to stick with CEA-compliant brands- which means that the amps have been tested and produce or exceed the advertised RMS wattage with minimum distortion and the subs can handle their advertised RMS wattage also

here are the top CEA-compliant 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)

MTX (highly recommend)

Pioneer

Polk Audio (highly recommend)

PPI

Rockford Fosgate (highly recommend)

Sony (don't like their subs)
