Austin from St Joseph, MO on 9/30/2024

Verified employee review (What's this?)

i have had these subwoofers in my truck for several years. when i replaced my subs, i went with these for a second time. the bass for shallow mount sub woofer is extremely crisp, and deep. everyone that gets in my truck is blown away with the quality of them. in my 2018 f150 i have a full under the seat enclosure with 2 12" 48cwrt122's , and a kicker amplifier. They are strong enough to bounce the water bottles in the console.

Pros: Clean look Extremely Shallow for mounting Very clean and deep bass

Cons:

Best bass for small space!

Gabriel Anth from Fairview, TN on 9/6/2024

Verified customer (What's this?)
Verified employee review (What's this?)

These subs really pack a punch in tight spaces! They sound like a full size 12. Only con is they are 1 ohm and 4 ohm config so that greatly narrows down your amp choice if u want to go dual subs. Most amps are for 2ohm setups.

Cons:

So far so good. Bought to replace one that I had purchased last year in an amplified enclosure. Voice coil melted and bottomed out in 3 months. Hopefully this one holds up better. Bought from Crutchfield instead of another retailer so if I did have issues, I may be able to get assistance.

Very satisfied!!

Verified employee review (What's this?)

I love the 2 of these I bought!! Once you get past the break in stage they beat pretty hard. And have some crisp punch for being 12s. Now I need a bigger amp to push them to their potential lol

Pros: Fit perfectly in my truck box for my tacoma, sound great, clean hard bass!!

Cons: Wish they would hit the low bass a little better but might need to adjust my amp for them.

Best option for trucks

John from Lawrenceville, GA on 12/6/2022

Verified customer (What's this?)
Verified employee review (What's this?)

Great sound. Compared to the non shallow. With the perfect box the lows are no complaints.

Pros: Sounds amazing in a small box. Tight punchy bass

Cons: Extra lows due to the space in a truck. But with the perfect box has alot of potential.

DON'T SACRIFICE SPACE IN YOUR CAR.

Richard from Doral, FL on 6/27/2022

2019 Subaru WRX

Verified customer (What's this?)
Verified employee review (What's this?)

Amazing product, still can't believe such a thin, compact unit is able to produce that spectrum... Nice deep bass that moves your car mirrors, or if you prefer a dry and tight bass depending on the genre you listen to, just give it the right signal and it will deliver.

Pros: Compact, powerful, very loud for 500RMS, great deal.

Cons: No cons considering the segment it's intended to.

I have two of them with a power t-1000 amp. After about 15 hours of play time they are both blown. Pretty disappointed. Never had kickers and will not go with any again.

Loud but not frequencies in sealed boxes

Crutchfield customer from Fremont, CA on 12/5/2021

Verified customer (What's this?)
Verified employee review (What's this?)

Sounds mechanica in a sealed box with.75 cubic sqft. Not right. Not recommended if not ported. Would recommend Alpine R series if dealing with anything over 500w rms.

Pros: Loud

Cons: Rattles car, not lower frequency capable in sealed box, bad in Lexus metal sealed trunk.
