I hope this helps people who don't quite understand the ins and outs of power and wiring your subwoofer.So I have to question those that make claims about them not being powerful enough or they blew up relatively quick. I think this comes down to not understanding,1. Your amplifier and RMS ratings2. How wiring the sub to your amp can cause impedance mismatches.One reviewer said his sub wasn't loud enough. This makes me believe it's wired in series, producing 8 ohms. Another reviewer says their amplifier is 2 Ohms. Well... If it is a mono block, 2 Ohms is good. If it is a 2 channel you bridged down to one channel, a 2 Ohms stable amplifier seeing a subwoofer wired down to 2 Ohms will either fry the sub, or fry the amplifier. I've seen this fry a voice coil in the sub and destroy filtering circuits in an amp. In this situation what happens is both channels split the load. Meaning you are showing each channel 1 ohm. In this case you would just use 1 voice coil @ 4 Ohms.Always check the resistance at the terminals to determine if you are wired correctly.On to the build. These are nice looking entry level subwoofers. Magnet looks good as well. The surround could have been a bit bigger. But hey, less than 60 dollars, can't complain. The bucket is plastic, though it feels rigid enough. Nice spring clip terminals. Nothing fancy. Just a decent design.Power handling. Guys, never go off of max rating. Period. Go off the RMS numbers. If those aren't listed, I use a formula for estimating an RMS value. Multiply price by 5.5. this would tell me the sub is at roughly 150 watts combinedSound is good and got better with about 45 minutes breaking in. It is not hitting super low frequencies. But thats ok, it's just a 10" sub. This is a great bang for the buck.Sensitivity is 90db at 1 watt/1 meter. This is at a specific frequency, I'm thinking somewhere around 50-55hz. So the lower tones, around 35hz have about a 4 db roll-off.In a good box, these should hit about 40hz fairly clean. They do start breaking up around 170hz. So those that want to match at higher frequency's may be deterred from using this sub.

I rarely review products that were not acquired through vine purchases. I'm choosing to review this one because after I purchased this speaker, I researched the seller and viewed many negative reviews on their website. Upon reading some of those reviews, naturally I expected the worst upcoming experience in product purchasing.I happy to report that those expectations were not met and everything went smoothly from purchase to usage.The sound quality of this speaker is excellent, and the bass is much deeper than the speaker (12" woofer) it has replaced. The quality of sound you get from this speaker is at a great price that's hard to be beat. The installation was very easy for me. Since I was replacing with the exact same size, removal of the old unit's mounting screws and connection wires was all that was needed. Replacement of the mounting screws was needed because the newer unit's mounting surface was 1/4 inch thicker but everything else fit right into place. Total removal and replacement time was less than 10 minutes.I give this speaker and seller 5+ stars. The speaker is great quality for a decent price. The seller gave an estimated delivery dates and it arrived in a timely manner. Both of those points exceeded my expectations and deserve a positive review from a customer that highlights their excellent work.

Nice 8 inch sub got about 200 peak going to it after the brake in where I run 100 rms for 4 to 6 hours . sounds great and fits my gmc yukon xl like other said keep the ring off your stock sub .place it in between new sub and faxtory box perfect spacer works great sounds great at 13 bucks don't think to hard buy it...update I have a bad sub now it's coils have let loose currently the glue on the inside is no good didn't even make it one year at 200 Watts.. Its rating for 250 it was never pushed hard this was what I have my kids in primarily used just for listening to the radio and watching DVDs cheap sub works great when I got it with longevity is not there these are still jumped or quality control must really suck voice glues did not hold its not fryed they are just loose which in turn has shorted out with my amps... I would say if the glue was good it would have continued to work just fine it did not melt the coils they have just come loose internally ..if I was pushing them at what they were rated I don't think it would have last no more than a day.....bummer.. Great price looks good but just not made well.....

This subwoofer driver I will say is decent for price point. Built the enclosure port tuned to 38hz. When putting it through it paces it would put decent bass into the cab for the trunk even at 32hz but I will say this things nowhere near a hard hitting unit. She puts bass out well but your not going to get a heavy punch like some other nicer 8 inch subs out there that have alot more movement. Have her maxed about around 200 watts before she starts to distort. Would say this a great budget option for an suv, truck, or hatch vehicle with direct exposure.

I’ve owned lots of very expensive very powerful subs. This one for being so cheap. Is alright. You want good bass without being broke and buying powerful amps it works great, around 200 watts is where it’s comfortable. More than that you’ll probably start to warm it up fast.

Nice speaker, fit in the box with slight modification but the build quality is bit questionable to be fair the price is good but like stated they build quality is questionable to honest I don't think it's going to last long but I will see and make a update review

Ho sempre avuto subwoofer di marchi blasonati, per questo non ero tanto convinto prima dell'acquisto. Appena scartato sono stato notevolmente sorpreso dalla qualità costruttiva e dalle rifiniture, da vero Subwoofer quasi professionale. Dopo di ciò sono passato alla qualità del suono, ci ho costruito una casa armonica artigianale e la qualità del suono è davvero ottima tenendo conto del diametro di soli 20cm, in passato ho avuto sempre 30cm, ma vi assicuro che questo piccolo sub non lì fa rimpiangere. Io lo uso con un amplificatore di classe D di 200w RMS, consiglio di non collegarlo ad amplificatori oltre i 250w RMS perchè suonando per molto tempo la bobina si fa abbastanza calda quindi potrebbe deformarsi e gracchiare. Pecca su alcune frequenza molto basse, ma a questo prezzo, credetemi, non c'è nulla di migliore. (le specifiche tecniche riportate qui su Amazon sono sbagliate, i watts in RMS sono 400, come dimostra la foto)

I WAS A LITTLE SCEPTICLE WHEN I FOUND THIS SUB, AS A "QUICK FIX" FOR A MUCH MORE EXPESIVE SPEAKER WHICH HAD FAILED.THE "DUAL VOICE COIL" SET UP CAUSED A BIT OF HEAD SCRATCHING, AND NUMEROUS YOUTUBE VIDEOS DIND'T HELP MUCH, UNTIL I FOUND ONE THAT EXPLAINED IN VERY SIMPLE (IDIOT PROOF) TERMS.IT WAS A MARGINALLY LARGER DIAMETER THAN THE OUTGOING SPEAKER, BUT A FEW MINUTES OF FRANTIC SANDING SAW IT FITTING SNUG IN THE SEALED SUB BOX.WITH SIMPLE "PUSH BUTTON" CABLE CONECTORS, INSTALLATION AND WIRING WAS A BREEZE!IT'S OBVIOUSLY NOT AS GOOD QUALITY AS THE OLD SUB, AND IT'S PLASTIC CONSTRUCTION WAS A CONCERN THAT TURNED OUT TO BE UNFOUNDED.HOOKED UP TO A STINGER 700 WATT BRIDGED AMP I AM MORE THAN HAPPY WITH THE SOUND, AND IT HANDLES HIGH VOLUME, WITH THE AMP GAIN AT 3/4 WITHOUT ANY DISTORTION.I HAVE IT WIRED TO GIVE 2 OHM RESISTANCE, AND EVEN AFTER AN HOUR SETTING IT UP, IT'S NOT EVEN WARMIT HAS AN "ON LINE" WARRANTY REGISTRATION CARD, WHICH GIVES A STANDARD 13 MONTH WARRANTY, SO IF IT FAILS DURING THE FIRST WEEK OR SO, I'LL HOPEFULLY BE COVERED?IT KICKS REALLY HARD, AND SURPRISINGLY LOW BASS NOTES WERE ACHIEVED EVEN AT LOW VOLUME, WHICH IS VERY IMPRESSIVE.I'M NOT A TECHNICAL WIZARD, SO WON'T BE QUOTING FIGURES, BUT IT WORKS, AND SOUNDS GREAT.I'M NOT SURE WHY THERE ARE NEGATIVE COMMENTS, AS I AM MORE THAN HAPPY WITH THIS SUB, AND AT JUST OVER £30.00 IT HAS EXCEEDED MY EXPECTATIONS WITHOUT QUESTION. I CAN ONLY ASSUME, PEOPLE ARE WIRING INCORRECTLY, OR MASSIVELY OVERPOWERING THEM?KEEP YOUR EXPECTATIONS LOW, AND I GUARANTEE YOU WON'T BE DISSAPOINTED!
