from E-Bay Year / Model Reviewed:
2002 Strengths:
Low cost, excellent frequency response, high sensitivity, small enclosure design, lightweight. Great for pick ups or other vehicles that have limited space for woofers. Also works flawlessly in a trunk or hatchback. Weaknesses:
The cone color isn't to my liking but, the rest of the woofer makes up for it. Summary:
I bought my pair of Lanzar Neo 12's on E-bay for a couple of reasons. For one, they were priced right. I was looking for a temporary pair of woofers to use until I finished building my system. I even ordered a sealed enclosure with 1 cu ft. per chanmber to use temporarily as well. I figured the enclosure would be too small to make the woofers sound good but, what the heck, it was only a temporary thing. Next, I liked the fact that the woofers looked differetn than conventional woofers. They are very light weight, have a very, very shallow mounting depth (around 4 inches) and look cool with part of the magnet/motor structure being on the front of the driver. The woofers arrived and about 2 days later, the enclosure arrived. I opened the woofers and low and behold a 1 cu ft sealed enclosure was about perfect for each driver!!! I lucked out there. Next, I powered the woofers up with a Crunch 50HC High Current amp made in th early 1990's. I ran it 2 ohm mono to the Lanzars which gave them each about 100 watts. They sounded smoth, provided deep bass and some pretty high SPL. After a couple of weeks of break in time, I started to increase my volume a liitle and let me tell you, for the price these are some very impressive woofers. I didn't provide them with the'r maximum power handling watts of 700 or even close to their 350 watts RMS, but nonetheless I was impressed. I later hooked them up to a borrowed HiFonics VII Atlas which provided 600 watts RMS to the pair. The woofers to the power and sounded ultra clean. Bottom line, if you need a low cost woofer that performs flawlessley, is very light weight, has a shallow mounting depth and has good SQ go after a Lanzar Neo 12! Similar Products Used:
Kicker, JL, Bazooka, and RF.
