Strengths:
GOOD VERY GOOOOD

Weaknesses:
could hit harder... my fault for being weak amp

Summary:
Okay, so I have these great subs, but my amp just basically won't handle the greatness, I don't think they are hitting hard enough due to the fact I"m not giving them enough Juice. PLEASE GIVE ME ADVICE.. what is a good/CHEAP amp I can get? I'm short on money 'cause i just spent the last of it on my new car PLEASE E_mail ME

Price Paid:  $0.00

Strengths:
VERY loud, small box, SPL & SQ potential, originality - not many people have them

Weaknesses:
None that I can find

Summary:
These subs are amazing. Im running 2 of them in my Nissan Pulsar Hatch and they absolutely pump. I have each running off their own Alpine MRD-M300 monoblock amp, getting over 350wrms each and they love it. Currently in the process of building a tighter box to get some high SPL numbers. Love the fact that you can get SPL and SQ out of these babies!

Strengths:
clean loud (great for a 1 sub system) low power rating( running 250 rms to it) not extremly high priced. small box size. looks great especialy if you get this years model you can choose from 6 different cone colors.

Weaknesses:
need to have the box WELL sealed. but that goes for any sub.

Summary:
Are there louder subs out there. YES. but for around 200 $ this sub is as cleasn as they come. don't get me wrong this sub get extremely loud when powered by my JL 250/1 amp. if your not a bass head and want great SQ then this is the sub for you.

Strengths:
Everything a sub should be. Just compare the materials used to make the sub compared to other brands.

Weaknesses:
Underrated by people who don't expirment with power and box sizes.

Summary:
Alchemy subs may not look that strong, however, give them the power they demand and a smaller box, they'll give you anything your looking for. Their not the loudest but close. As far as SOUND QUALITY, NEVER heard anything BETTER. Streaming, punchy, deep, quiet, loud, you name it, they'll do it. Well built, very reliable.
