Summary:
I have just purchased a Kicker Xlp 12" with a Alpine 500 wattbridged making like 900 watts (what it says in owners mauanl), The system has been tuned by a professional. The Sub has twice as much as my brother 10" JL's and the sound is clear not distored and has TONS and TONS of low bass with little volume at head unit. My system has a big sealed box that out proforms my brothers 2 10" JL 10w0-8 in every thing but Stupid UNCLEAR BASS that bugs the poop out of me. (in lamemans terms my system out proforms 2 10" JL 10w0-8 in a band pass box with a 500/1 jl amp.) my system has somuch bass it sets peoples alarms off

Strengths:
Very fast step rate and low group delay (in english this means very fast sounding) tons of excursion, very very high effenciency which makes it very loud at mininal power input

Weaknesses:
There best year for the design was 1997, unfortunatly these are hard to find. for this year they were the best subs around. the price tag is fairly steep brand new actually

Summary:
Stunning subwoofer, this can work in every box possible.
