This thread and these subs look very promising, esp at the low price you got them for. Looking foward to the results!!

I am still awaiting the results...........I might buy one if they can handle about 500w rms. That peak power rating means nothing.

Ok here it is. Sube mounted inverted in a 4 cu ft box on a MB Quart RAA2400 getting 400 watts apiece. The sound **** good. Get pretty friggin loud to. Much louder than my 4 - 8"s. And they got loud. Box is a little big, so I am going to put them inside the box today and see how it is. After that I will start stuffing stuff in their until I get the right area. One of them must have had a little extra glue drip in the coil, cause you can smell it burning. But no noticible difference in sound. Played these to 18 hz and they took it well. The have hella excursion at 18 to. Overall I would say that they are **** good for the price I paid for them. One of them get's a little warm, but that's the one that's burning the glue off. I will post some vids when I put them in the box to show the excursion. I will also post when I find the right size for the box. But in my overall tests so far, they are well worthy of the price they are, and can handle at least 400 apiece. I don't have anymore to throw at it so I can't give a maximum though.

Mounted the subs inside of the box, and it's beautiful. Just the right amount of box size. Figure with displacement of the subs around 1.5 cubes per driver. Took a couple of vids but they didn't turn out as expected. Only had a cellphone, but here they are. Even lost a box of screws on one of them. Have to pull the speaker back out to get them. If anybody has anymore questions, or wants me to try anything feel free to ask.

not bad, your theory on the glue burnoff is a little off, but your on the right track with the smell

What are you ported at on those? I would think in the 33-36 hz range would be good.

can never really go wrong w/ cheap subs, if they sound good, great deal!

if they sound like crap, its worth 20 bucks to blow it up!

jellyfish420 designed it for me. Supposed to be ported at 32 hz.

It sort of looks like the sub wobbles from side to side on some of those notes..Is that just the camera or for real?

No that's just the camera. It's a cell phone and the response on it is not the greatest.
