picked this sub up about a month ago. traded a cheapo prefab sealed box that i paid 5 bucks for straight up for it. still plays perfectly but has almost no excursion compared to the subs of today

I remember when I was 16 wishing I could afford the oh so powerful cerwin vega xl12d. I remember thinking these things were beefy back then.

Me too! I saw a guy get some of these from a pawn shop about 6 years ago. He hooked them up in the paking lot in a Box Caprice. They were in 2 ported boxes banging real hard. They already cosmetically looked beat to hell. He drove down the street to where we couldn't see him, but we could still hear him. It sounded louder than just 2 12's!

I just threw away two of those in the 10" version. They sat in my closet for 10 years and the surrounds rotted.

surround is pretty good on this one. its got kind of a 2 layer surround with the front being red and the back being gray. theres is just the slightest crack in the red portion of the surround maybe an inch long but it doesn't go all the way through. i was searching for a recone just for the hell of it but then realized i am too boke to worry about fixing a sub i'll never use much. That accurate image sub above looks brand new and the Stroker was one of the old school subs i always wanted but never had. almost had one once but when I hooked it up to test it was making some terrible noises so I had to pass.
