Strengths:
Oh man this sub is really good. It makes great use off all 100 watts. Usually when people get into my car and i turn up the bass, they just laugh. But once they stop laughing i show them that i have one awesome sony 10. Usually they start laughing again but once they stop they tell me "thats pretty cool"

Weaknesses:
There is nothing wrong with this sub. Its so amazing sometimes if i listen hard enough i can sometimes hear the bass, its SO amazing. Well i think i spent a great $900 dollars on this sub

Summary:
ok i bought my one 10" from johns sound shack about a year and a half ago. They charged me about $900 for te one 10". It runs at 100 watts and peaks at 200. I dont think i got ripped off.

Strengths:
My opinion, very good, budject subs. you can pick up a pair for bout 100 if you look

Weaknesses:
dont take extreme wattage good

Summary:
Got 2 of these for 130 at best buy during a sale. My first Real subs, had them almost a year. Mainly used them in my room in a dual sealed box, ran about 150w to each. Did very well, hit all the lows on all my bass cds. After aquiring a Sony 760w amp, I threw them in my parents 15 passenger Ford. I have to say for that size of a vehicle, they did very well, till my brother almost blew them. So they're back in my room, alittle warn and slightly distorted at high volumes, if you can hear it over the bass.

Price Paid:  $30.00 from back of a friends ca

Strengths:
good bass always adjusting the eq's never fully satisfied

Weaknesses:
low rms one voice coil cracked twice just cant handle anything.

Summary:
was good while it lasted. i was only pushing 180 watts max and the POS cracked on me twice. maybe i needed a ported enclosure. i did buy it used but i know the guy and he wouldnt rip me off. the only reason he was selling it was cause he blew his other one.
