these speakers are great! They hit really good at just about any volume. The only problem i've had is wwith the cones cracking...so, i've had to replace one or two. But other than that, i'd totally recommend these for anyone.

hit hard

weak cones(even though they look awesome.)

Summary:
I have these subs in a 3/4 mdf 1.5 cu.ft. sealed box in a 1991 240sx, They are being pushed by a Profile 400watt mono amp. I love these subs they hit hard and accurate, They handle more than the 160 watt rms. rating. I have had no problems with these, I know that the most commom problem is that the cones tend to crack, but mine havent I would recommend these subs for anyone wether your a begineer or competitor

Strengths:
Strong and accurate, very deep and extended.

Weaknesses:
none so far, anyone that says they sound like crap is either overdriving them or doesnt have them in the right box.

Summary:
these things are junk. I bought them for $165 in a box new. at mid to high volume its mush, with the sub bottoming out. i'm running about 150 to each, and the amp is turned up halfway, and they sound like trash. at least they correctly play freqeuncies, i have seen these not do that. they drag like 15s, but won't play the same freqencies. i would not recommend these to anyone. get audiobahn high excusion, better and cheaper. don't buy these pioneers unless you are getting an awesome deal

Strengths:
decent at low volume, somewhat cheap

Weaknesses:
bottom out, rattle, they can't be hit hard. if you like bass, don't buy these.

Summary:
My overall impression of this suv is that it hits incredibly well for a low wattage RMS, i am running a Pioneer 600x1 to them, with them bridged. I have a 1996 Dodge Neon and it rattles a lot of stuff in my dash, it even makes CD's move off my lap. Defintely a good sub for beginners or even pros that can afford lots of them.

Strengths:
Bass that rattles thru ya

Weaknesses:
Cone may rattle

i had two Punch 12's and two MTX 12's and i think this hits better then them.

Price Paid:  $300.00

Summary:
Back when i didnt know much about car audio i bought two of these for my first system, I had them hooked up to a 200 watt amp and i couldnt even turn it all the way up cuz they are so sensitive. and even at their max they were never worth a sh*t. If thses subs cost like 70 bucks each brand new they would be alright but they are just way overpriced for the preformence they give. If you want pioneer go get the pioneer premier 12's those are some bas azz subs, but they arnt cheap.

Strengths:
This is alright sub if you dont mind having to buy 3 or 4 of them to equal what you could get out of one nice 12

Weaknesses:
too sensitive, dosnt hit hard at loud volumes just gets all boomy
