Question

are these good?

Answer 1

they are loud... not the best sound but really loud if ya arn&#039;t that into music you wont beable to tell the diff

Answer 2

NO

when it comes to car audio all you care about is RMS (continuous) wattage not peak/max wattage

peak/max wattage specs mean absolutely nothing at all, its just a over rated figure they put on the box to catch your eye

here are the specs

Brand New Pair of Lanzar MAXP154D 15&quot; Subwoofers

2000 Watts Max Per Sub

Non-Pressed Paper Cone

Foam Surround

2.5&quot; Dual 4 ohm Voice Coils

200 Oz. Total Magnet Weight

Magnet Boot

Silver Plated In/Out s***w Terminals

Stamped Steel Basket

Mounting Depth: 7.2&quot;

as you can see they don&#039;t even mention RMS wattage which is a bad sign

its impossible to match amps and subs without knowing the &quot;real&quot; RMS wattage

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&#039;t like their subs)

Blaupunkt (don&#039;t like their subs)

Clarion

Eclipse

Infinity (highly recommend)

JBL

JL Audio (very good but over priced)

JVC

Kenwood (don&#039;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&#039;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&#039;s actually more common than damage caused by overpowering.

When the volume is turned up and the amp doesn&#039;t have enough power, the signal becomes distorted, or &quot;clipped.&quot; This distorted signal can cause parts of the speaker to overheat, warp and melt. Not good!

You don&#039;t have to match speaker and amp wattages exactly. An amp with a higher output than the speaker&#039;s rating won&#039;t necessarily damage the speaker — just turn the amp down a bit if you hear distortion from the sub and don&#039;t run the speaker at extremely loud volumes for lengthy periods. Likewise, you&#039;ll be OK with a lower powered amp if you keep the volume down and don&#039;t feed a distorted signal to the sub.

Answer 3

I would say if you can afford a little more for subs go that way.

Don&#039;t make the same mistake i made awhile back and buy cheap subs,i ended up trashing them and buying better ones,and cost me more money in the long run.
