    I've had mine on a sfb1000.1 since June last year. Works pretty good. Surprised in the accuracy. I have mine in a 1.75 box. That would probably help with cone control.

    I bought the same sub about 6 months ago, put a planet audio 1500 with it in a ported box in my jeep and I have no complaints. Just bought a new Chevy Colorado, and me and a friend built a 1.45 sealed box for it yesterday. Should be wiring it up next weekend. I've had the planet audio amp turned all the way up since I got it.

      @@areasonablethought610 i didn't overplay them. Their pro drivers are terrible. I used them at recommended ratings and in boxes that are in accordance with what they provide on their site. I typically work with much higher-valued systems like Kv2 and L'Acoustics in huge clubs so id like to think I know a few things about pro audio. yes for the money you get a decent product that can sound good but it's almost as if they don't know much about their product if im running their drivers at recommended specs and still hae to replace drivers.

      I had bdc2s before i sold and got a couple of these due to size constraints (went from car to extended cab s10). They sound ok but don't seem to handle rated power. The double spider idea sucks, already have to recone one due to coming loose and sliding on former destroying the tinsel leads and soon will have to do other. But for little over $100 good deal

If you are close enough to somewhere that either I myself or someone I know, then I could try to get them to you. They’re 3/4 mdf and carpeted black. I’m almost positive that all 3 are ported to some degree but the small one might be sealed. If they’re something that you could use I’ll donate them to you.
