  • Punch
Style: Speakers
Has great punch. After a few hours of break in the sub sounds great. Replaced the factory sub 2016 MDX. On stock amp, an upgraded amp on this sub would sound even better. Best sub for this price

  • Lexus ls430
Style: Speakers
Was able to wire the two voice coils in series as to not fry my amp. Sounds good but is a tight fit and not as much kick as I would have wanted. Handles bass well though.

  • Amazing quality 8" subwoofer for the price!
Style: Speakers
Nothing bad to say about this subwoofer. Was going to go with a much more expensive brand but it ended up being a little too deep for the box I was putting it in. This is sounding much better than the previous sub I had. Has been handling the power im throwing at it. I would recommend this sub to anyone. ... show more

  • What a sub!
Style: Speakers
These subwoofers really pound. I have an 8 dvc, and a 10 svc, and i love the sound of both 8 and 10. I have other subwoofers in my build, I have a 10" Kicker cvr, and a 8", and two 6.5" Memphis prx. And the polks are by far my favorite, the sound quality of the polks is a good sound, warm but punchy. And these are cheaper than all of the other ones, and that really makes them better. ... show more

  • not recommended for lexus ls 430 replacement
Style: Speakers
I have nothing bad to say about this speaker. However, if buying this to replace your blown ML sub in your lexus, be warned that this speaker, run in series, only shows 6.5 ohms at an idle. the Ml amp is designed for a 12 ohm speaker and you risk overheating your amp using this speaker (especially if you like to run loud). I discussed this at length with a friend who has been in the AV industry for 20 years and he said it will work until your amp gives out.... A ML amp is far more expensive than a ML sub. I recommend getting the real deal. PS....If your sub is blown because the foam has rotted you can order a new surround for about $20 and its very simple to replace even for a novice. Hope this helps someone. ... show more
