New Polk shallow light-weight woofer

[probmxstyle 10+ year member]

Anyone seen these in person yet? I am pieceing together a system for a friend of mine. He wants light weight and something that wont require a large box. I saw these just came out and use a carbon composite basket to save weight. Only requires a .88 cuft box and is only 4 5/8" deep.

the sealed box seams a tad bit big for a shallow mount but it is a 12

Seems good to me, Polk loves that .88 sealed spec, that use to be the norm for their DB subs 10 to 12 years ago, (their High End at the time).

Looks like a decent sub, Polks have always sounded nice.

Well I am probably going to pick one up for my boy. I'll put it through its paces and see how well it does with a little more power.

Looks like a nice sub. Seems like nearly every company will be making a shallow mount sub really soon.
