I hope this helps people who don't quite understand the ins and outs of power and wiring your subwoofer. So I have to question those that make claims about them not being powerful enough or they blew up relatively quick. I think this comes down to not understanding, 1. Your amplifier and RMS ratings 2. How wiring the sub to your amp can cause impedance mismatches. One reviewer said his sub wasn't loud enough. This makes me believe it's wired in series, producing 8 ohms. Another reviewer says their amplifier is 2 Ohms. Well... If it is a mono block, 2 Ohms is good. If it is a 2 channel you bridged down to one channel, a 2 Ohms stable amplifier seeing a subwoofer wired down to 2 Ohms will either fry the sub, or fry the amplifier. I've seen this fry a voice coil in the sub and destroy filtering circuits in an amp. In this situation what happens is both channels split the load. Meaning you are showing each channel 1 ohm. In this case you would just use 1 voice coil @ 4 Ohms. Always check the resistance at the terminals to determine if you are wired correctly. On to the build. These are nice looking entry level subwoofers. Magnet looks good as well. The surround could have been a bit bigger. But hey, less than 60 dollars, can't complain. The bucket is plastic, though it feels rigid enough. Nice spring clip terminals. Nothing fancy. Just a decent design. Power handling. Guys, never go off of max rating. Period. Go off the RMS numbers. If those aren't listed, I use a formula for estimating an RMS value. Multiply price by 5.5. this would tell me the sub is at roughly 150 watts combined Sound is good and got better with about 45 minutes breaking in. It is not hitting super low frequencies. But thats ok, it's just a 10" sub. This is a great bang for the buck. Sensitivity is 90db at 1 watt/1 meter. This is at a specific frequency, I'm thinking somewhere around 50-55hz. So the lower tones, around 35hz have about a 4 db roll-off. In a good box, these should hit about 40hz fairly clean. They do start breaking up around 170hz. So those that want to match at higher frequency's may be deterred from using this sub.

I rarely review products that were not acquired through vine purchases. I'm choosing to review this one because after I purchased this speaker, I researched the seller and viewed many negative reviews on their website. Upon reading some of those reviews, naturally I expected the worst upcoming experience in product purchasing. I happy to report that those expectations were not met and everything went smoothly from purchase to usage. The sound quality of this speaker is excellent, and the bass is much deeper than the speaker (12" woofer) it has replaced. The quality of sound you get from this speaker is at a great price that's hard to be beat. The installation was very easy for me. Since I was replacing with the exact same size, removal of the old unit's mounting screws and connection wires was all that was needed. Replacement of the mounting screws was needed because the newer unit's mounting surface was 1/4 inch thicker but everything else fit right into place. Total removal and replacement time was less than 10 minutes. I give this speaker and seller 5+ stars. The speaker is great quality for a decent price. The seller gave an estimated delivery dates and it arrived in a timely manner. Both of those points exceeded my expectations and deserve a positive review from a customer that highlights their excellent work.

Junk. Just hooked up and it's blown. Dual coils one side doesn't even work other side it blown. Sold me crap speaker. Don't buy this guys junk.

Wanted to pick this up and give it a try. Normally I would spend a bit more on a subwoofer. This sub caught my attention. A 4 ohm dual voice coil 12" subwoofer at a good price. The frame is plastic and honest I've never tried one that was made of plastic. Stamped steel would have been better. Has stitching around the surround and a nice dust cap. Spiders are floating but at this price can't really complain. I do appreciate that this subwoofer has the push terminals for the speaker wire. Placed one subwoofer in a ported box that was around 1.33 cubic feet of box volume, tuned around 34 hrz. As per the specs sheet for this subwoofer I should have used a minimum of 1.5 cubic feet of box volume. Ran this at 2 ohms with my amp putting out 800 watts at 2 ohms. Handled the bass well and still managed to get 106 db, at a decent volume. The subs lows were not very low due to the box that was too small. My deck and my amp were set up using a SMD DD-1 (distortion detector) Overall this is a fine budget subwoofer. I did pick up a pair and in a few weeks will be building a custom box. Then I can hear what they can really do in a proper box. Hope this helped.

The rear woofer on my Chevy Tahoe was blown so, since I was replacing all the speakers in my doors (6), I went ahead and ordered this 8” woofer to replace it. It fit right into the round slot in the mounting box that held the old speaker. When I turned the treble all the way down with the corresponding adjustment to the base on my radio, the pulsating sound of pure base tones came through clearly with no broken, sputtering frizzy sounding pulsations present at all. I’m not a speaker expert, but I know enough to appreciate good smooth sounding music from speakers that are put to the ultimate test. I like the solid guarantee that comes with the speaker as well.

Lasted 6 years so I would say it's a pretty good speaker. I thought it was blown but it's just a bad connection to the voice coil where the braided wire goes to the coil wire. Let's hope I get another six years now that I repaired it.

Nice one

Ho sempre avuto subwoofer di marchi blasonati, per questo non ero tanto convinto prima dell'acquisto. Appena scartato sono stato notevolmente sorpreso dalla qualità costruttiva e dalle rifiniture, da vero Subwoofer quasi professionale. Dopo di ciò sono passato alla qualità del suono, ci ho costruito una casa armonica artigianale e la qualità del suono è davvero ottima tenendo conto del diametro di soli 20cm, in passato ho avuto sempre 30cm, ma vi assicuro che questo piccolo sub non lì fa rimpiangere. Io lo uso con un amplificatore di classe D di 200w RMS, consiglio di non collegarlo ad amplificatori oltre i 250w RMS perchè suonando per molto tempo la bobina si fa abbastanza calda quindi potrebbe deformarsi e gracchiare. Pecca su alcune frequenza molto basse, ma a questo prezzo, credetemi, non c'è nulla di migliore. (le specifiche tecniche riportate qui su Amazon sono sbagliate, i watts in RMS sono 400, come dimostra la foto)

Nice bass

Very good quality high bass and clear voice ❤️

このスピーカーのフレームはABS樹脂です。特徴は樹脂なので共振周波数が少ない。繊細な音がする。クロス点を１２１Hzにしています。デジタルチャンネルデバイダーが必須です。曲により少しずらします。フィルターが甘いと音がミックスしてスッキリしません。ピアノ、パイプオルガンの低音は素晴らしいです。12インチなので低音の風圧が良く出ます。交響曲は凄く引き立ちます。2個買って1万円です。これを使うには3ウエイです。箱も分厚い段ボールでも良い音がします。デジタルアンプ（音質調整無しの物）です。
