  • Great little sub!
Style: Speakers
I used this to replace the factory sub in my older Tundra. It sounds great, even on a factory amp. It took some slight modification to fit, but it was worth it.

  • 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

  • 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

  • Economic upgrade that sounds good.

Nice upgrade for a 2015 Porsche Cayenne diesel

  • 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.

  • 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
