Review 1 of 83

Price Paid:  $100.00

Year / Model Reviewed:
1998 comp vr12

Summary:
these are the slowest reacting subs i've ever used, they have a disgusting amount of boominess under 60 hz, trying to get and kind of kick drum hit is impossible.. if you listen to rap or rock they are OKAY, but not nearly as good as the JL 12w04 that it replaced (and my JL lasted TEN YEARS!!) basically i listen to alot of ( and make it also, so i'm no idiot in the audio department, in case you're wondering) electronica and drum and bass, and these subs just can't keep up, i paid 100.00 to my cousin for these things, 2 of them in a ported kicker made box.... and they sound horrible, so i put one in a ported box, still crappy, sealed box, still crappy, bandpass box, still crappy... anyway, i'll be giving them back to him this weekend and buying two JL's again... so, in summary, if your a basshead and not interested in real sound quality and just want your ears to bleed, these'll do the trick, if you want TIGHT BASS and kick, get JL... or JBL if you're more into rock or country.. had two of those a while back... there is a reason concert halls use JBL!!!

Strengths:
pounds like a freakin jackhammer, with just as much annoyance

Weaknesses:
sound horrible, at speed, extremely boomy, you;d better have a pair of 8's running also to catch what these miss... or get a better sub and catch it all

Similar Products Used:
JL, JBL, Clarion (eh, okay), alpine,

Review 5 of 83

Price Paid:  $120.00 from 12 volt experience

Year / Model Reviewed:
1996 jeep grand cherokee

Summary:
a lot of guy here are tlaking about the high power that they put to these subs, which sometimes isnt needed. i have an eclipse head unit with a 200.2 eclipse amp, running 2 2004 kicker comp VR's in a 1.12 CFS sealed box, and i hit a 142.7 at a db competition, hitting very low at 46DB. for that amout of watts, the comps are just at their continuous. these subs hit hard. i had a choice between these, alpine type S, and diamond audio CM3's. the comps won the battle, but im not happy with the sensitivity rating. when listening to techno, you can actually hear a delay between when the bass is supposed to hit in the highs, and when the subs actually kick in. i will be replacing the subs in a few months with diamond audio M6's, and a phoenix gold 600.2 amp

Strengths:
sound, looks, nothing to complain about except for the speed

Weaknesses:
sensitivity
