   When first buying this sub i found it hard to believe that it could handle 1200 watts. I was the proven wrong once i hooked it up to my rockford 1000 watt amp. This sub kicks hard! get two of these and you wont regret it.

   I bought two of these and mounted them into a sealed box. WOW. They sound superb. Topped it off with the pyle pla-2210 1800 watt amp and I’m bumping down the road. The real test came when my buddy behind me said I was making his mirrors bump to my tunes. Inexpensive but very good for the price.
   
   I’d recommend getting a head unit such as the Kenwood Excelon kdc-x592 which has an adjustable subwoofer level setting. This works well because your not cranking up the bass on your component speakers too which can lead to some nasty distortion. Also, a capacitor may be necessary to save your electrical system (1 farad for every 500 watts). Expensive setup but well worth it in the end.

   My 16 year old has been itching to get subs in his car and he recently earned some money so we sat down and started planning. With the limited budget we had a hard time trying to find something that would pack a punch. We quickly found that we couldn’t afford the hi-end subs and amps and decided to take a chance on these subs and the Pyle 2200 amp. I read all of the reviews, both good and bad, and we ordered. We went down to the local Best Buy and got a deal on a close-out dual 12″ box that was ported for $30. Since these subs have dual voice coils I wired them in parallel to get 2 ohm input and hooked them up. I also ordered the Boss install kit and it worked out very well. We turned it on and these things thump! I adjusted the input level to match the head unit and I am very happy with the sound of this system. This system didn’t cost a lot of money and it sounds great. As with anything you can spend a fortune but with $180 I spent (speakers, install kit, amp)I am very happy. Plus, I had some great quality time with my son installing it.

   Honestly, I had my doubts about these subs at first, but after installing them all my doubts were rattled out of me by the insane bass they put out. I hooked two of these subs up to a 2000 watt amp and all I can say is “damn”. my whole car vibrates, my mirrors shake sometimes so much that I can’t make out what’s behind me, my neighbors hate me and the back of my hatchback rattles unlocked every time I have the system on. I am very impressed with these subs and would definitely recommend them. I am also very impressed with Amazon.com. Ordering was easy and they are very good with getting my orders processed and shipped in a timely manner. this is a really good and reliable company.
