Sound Storm Laboratories SS12 SS Series 12 Inch Car Audio Subwoofer - 800 Watts Max, Single 4 Ohm Voice Coil, Sold Individually, Hook Up to Amp

affordable, durable, compatible. I am using these on a speaker formula, as I cannot afford what I desire. My project starts with cv ls-10 crossovers, American acoustic cabs, 3 way. I am converting with these subwoofers, xp-104 5' sealed midrange, peerless silk domes. I have tried to match perimeters to best of my ability, for the conversion. my decibels are still not exact, but close. my resistance is not exact but close. my total investment. cabs, 40.00, mids 22.00, subs 47.00, tweeters 36.00, crossovers 22.00, For a 167.00 investment and labor, compared to a thousand dollar investment, I think that I have done very well. oh they measured 3.6, even on both. I know my methods to all the professional are primitive, as I do not have the complex mathematical skills that are required. I have done a ton of specification, and perimeter research. All I can do now is work with the haas effect. I am going 4 ohm sub, 4 ohm mid, 6.4 tweet, with cv crossovers. this will be a home setup. I am looking for a setup that wont put a load on amplifier, but will achieve sonic linearity, with solid bass. Went 8 ohms in past did not work for me. Like low volume, with high output. thank you also amazon, for the excellent service. They were double boxed together, with excellent packing. you have made this affordable for me, so I can continue my project. thank you again.

This was bought to replace a factory subwoofer in a 2002 Chevy Suburban. .The factory enclosure is really shallow and won’t allow a larger framed subwoofer to be put into it’s place. This one just barely makes it. By adding a gasket around the. Speaker frame, it went right into place where factory subwoofer speaker was. Decent sound, punchy for a small 8” Probably as good as the factory subwoofer was.

So I have a 1200w mono block 4ohm amp, I built single box with 2 separate chambers. To people saying these don't hit hard... they didn't either build a box correctly or setup properly. These things BOOM! Incredible production in bass for especially considering the price. Would definitely purchase these and other size speakers from SSL. Very happy

Got the 10" for $12, so right off the bat I wasn't expecting much beyond a great deal. Read the reviews and thought what the hell, maybe it'll be ok. I put it in a .75qft sealed box, attached it to about 150 watts RMS. I'm still breaking it in, but holy Jesus, it's very respectable. Hits a lot of good frequencies, provides deep booming bass tones, clean drive and good response.Going to finish break in using my test amp and then install it as a factory upgrade to a stock 140 watt rms 4 ohm Ford amp. Should sound nice.Thanks guys! Nice woofer.

I purchased three of these subs and of the three, two blew in the first week. I really wanted to like this subwoofer, especially for the money, but they're just not well made. True, they sounded nice at first, but within a week (during the "break-in" period where we kept the volume to less than half) two of them just stopped working.The first one, you could literally feel that the voice coil had come apart. It was literally grinding when you would flex the speaker cone manually. With the second one that blew, the cone literally separated from the spider. I mean it completely detached, wires and all! I was so disappointed that I sent the other one back without ever even hooking it up.If you're looking for a cheap subwoofer, steer clear of these. I do want to note, however, that the SSL 4 channel amplifier that I purchased is very well built and is working wonderfully. So, SSL doesn't make bad products per say, but this cheap sub was just not good.

I over powered this for almost 2 years it outlasted mt kicker RT by a 1 year and 9 months.I put in a Honda element oem enclosure (with some poly fill) that was to small for what it needed and was amazing. I ran about 400 rms through it I broke it in for a few weeks and dropped the eq a bit bc it is 8 in and turned it down when I started to smell the res burning. I would recommend to anyone looking for a cheap sub or even a kicker RT bc this one lasted way longer and I can buy almost 8 of these for the price of 1. I never review anything but this one I had to I was so impressed

Would have given this 5 stars if it was a true 10" sub. This is actually a 9" subwoofer. Had to do some modifications to make it fit. With that it actually is an amazing sub that hits hard. I have just the one and it fills my living room with bass. It's hooked up to 120 watt amp plate as my home theater sub in my modified speaker box.

I haven't actually used this yet but am a long time woofer designer and at first look they seem surprisingly well built. They come with templates and recommended box volume and dimensions. They are not DVC so if you hook them up right out of a modern receiver, the mono bass out will be fine. I am Bi-amping with a 2 channel amp and the amp is not bridgeable. this means you can only use the left or right channel and loose half the power potential. So I bought a second one and will either combine two in a separated double box, build two boxes for two locations within the room. One more radical choice is to use an isobaric "clamshell" configuration, which cuts the box dimension in half due to the effect on the VAS. (I f you try this make sure to wire the speakers out of phase (-+/+-) to make sure the cones move the same direction).That technical jargon is unnecessary for a general review, which is "They look good and durable. Follow the recommended box description and I think you'll have a nice booming subwoofer.
