What are you looking at?
Look for vids down a bit.

Well finally got the sub in after numerous things happening but i wont go into that.

First i'll start with it is in a 2.45cf after displacement sealed box, powered by a junker insignia amp @8ohms(series) that MIGHT be giving it 150rms. i reset my gains, then started testing a bit.

Sound quality is quite good. much better than i expected. listened to some radio first, sounded nice, and kept up with all the different bass hits on dance music, rock, and some rap, something my audiobling could never do as it seemed like a one note wonder and only played around 40hz well. next i threw on some little john "throw it up".The lowest note shoke everything. cant wait to get a full test tomorrow on some other music like late night tip and such. this was as loud or louder than my audiobling 12" ported on everything i threw at it. All of a sudden i have all this low bass that i never had before, like 35hz down into the 20's. those frequencies are as loud as the rest now it seems. All of the notes now rumble my car. my girlfriends hair was even moving slightly in the car as well.(more like vibrateing).

after i did this i popped open the trunk to take a look and to my surprise the sub is barely moving. i mean like 3mm one way, that is why i think i am getting only 150 or less rms. I can tell it wants alot more power hense i will be geting a new amp.

all in all i feel that this sub is comparable with subs costing way more than the $100cdn i payed(shipped) for it.

I had to stop short though as it was getting up close to 10pm and people might complain, so no vids, but i got a couple pics.

hope those thumbnail things work. anyways, will have a vid tomorrow so stay tuned for that. flex is most likely non existant right now although it rattles the heck out of my trunk. i'll update tomorrow with more as i have only had about 25 minutes of listening time, but i can say i am impressed.

 
no vid today, i forgor the camera at home, so tomorrow i will have a couple vids.

what would everyone like late nite tip? throw it up? any suggestions are welcome.

 
^^ you got it. i am making a new cd just for testing out the sq of the new woofer, and the deepness of the bass. so i'll have that song for a vid. sucks i dont have some power to throw at it, so you could really see what it could do. even barely moving it still shakes my mirrors and such, truley amazing for the price and watts i am throwing at it.

 
no flex but moves the gf's hair?
it more like vibrates it, kinda like the mirrors moving. not like its blowing everywhere. not sure on the flex though. i bet it would move things sit on the trunk alright. it moves cds and change good in the car. it really needs more power though. making a new cd as i type. gonna go and get a vid soon.

 
here is the vid

mind you i was unprepared, and it was dark, and for some reason it sounds like everything is distorting, but it really isnt. i think the mic sensitivity is up to high on the camera, so i'll get a good one tomorrow, and hopefully figure out how to edit my vid to get rid of the time when nothing is happening.

 
it really does sound good. the best sounding sub i've owned, and i've owned a few(at least 12 diff brands). last one was an audiobahn, just to see how they were for myself. i cant wait till i got the power it needs, should be the loudest sq setup i've had, or so i feel it will be with more power.

 
Can you get these online? I searched google but found nothing //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/frown.gif.a3531fa0534503350665a1e957861287.gif

How well do you think it'd do for home audio off a 200-300w plate amp...?

Also look around their forum for futher info. I believe there are people that have used Mach 5 drivers for home audio. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif
