Title: Good cheap budget sub
Review: I hope this helps people who don't quite understand the ins and outs of power and wiring your subwoofer.So I have to question those that make claims about them not being powerful enough or they blew up relatively quick. I think this comes down to not understanding,1. Your amplifier and RMS ratings2. How wiring the sub to your amp can cause impedance mismatches.One reviewer said his sub wasn't loud enough. This makes me believe it's wired in series, producing 8 ohms. Another reviewer says their amplifier is 2 Ohms. Well... If it is a mono block, 2 Ohms is good. If it is a 2 channel you bridged down to one channel, a 2 Ohms stable amplifier seeing a subwoofer wired down to 2 Ohms will either fry the sub, or fry the amplifier. I've seen this fry a voice coil in the sub and destroy filtering circuits in an amp. In this situation what happens is both channels split the load. Meaning you are showing each channel 1 ohm. In this case you would just use 1 voice coil @ 4 Ohms.Always check the resistance at the terminals to determine if you are wired correctly.On to the build. These are nice looking entry level subwoofers. Magnet looks good as well. The surround could have been a bit bigger. But hey, less than 60 dollars, can't complain. The bucket is plastic, though it feels rigid enough. Nice spring clip terminals. Nothing fancy. Just a decent design.Power handling. Guys, never go off of max rating. Period. Go off the RMS numbers. If those aren't listed, I use a formula for estimating an RMS value. Multiply price by 5.5. this would tell me the sub is at roughly 150 watts combinedSound is good and got better with about 45 minutes breaking in. It is not hitting super low frequencies. But thats ok, it's just a 10" sub. This is a great bang for the buck.Sensitivity is 90db at 1 watt/1 meter. This is at a specific frequency, I'm thinking somewhere around 50-55hz. So the lower tones, around 35hz have about a 4 db roll-off.In a good box, these should hit about 40hz fairly clean. They do start breaking up around 170hz. So those that want to match at higher frequency's may be deterred from using this sub.

Title: Great for the money
Review: Did a couple different test boxes. You definitely want to install this into a ported box. Great speaker especially with dual voice coil hookups

Title: i know theyre cheap but i really tried
Review: tried as best i could to take care of them and not burn them up, but it didnt work. i broke them in, i warmed them up. pretty sure i never hit the max with these. ive had 400w on cheap 12s before that hit way harder than these ever did. however the motors burnt in one, and the other got stuck and pulled off.this happened while going over a bump that wasnt to bad at all. during the very cold weather weve had recently so maybe that was a factor. it was on my way back home and i feel they were probably warm enough. i thought it was my amp at first because of how they died.id love to try again, as maybe i just got a bunk set, which happens with cheaper stuff, but the price has went up a little. i really wanted to like them. didnt even get to loosen up the foam all the way :(maybe ill try again and change my review

Title: 8 years later, it still pounds beautifully
Review: I just wrote a terrible review for another Pyle item I bought here. I thought it was only fair that I say my piece on this one too. I've owned this for 8 years and it's been placed on 4 boats since then. It worked great when it was new and it still works amazingly well, nice round base and totally throws down. An excellent buy if you're considering it

Review: Two 15" subs for under $200 is a crazy deal. They bump pretty hard but I wouldn't say they are 1000w rms each. Pushing 300w @4ohm to each sub and I would say that's about maxed out. Great subs for cheap, they are louder then 12" name brand subs.

Review: I WAS A LITTLE SCEPTICLE WHEN I FOUND THIS SUB, AS A "QUICK FIX" FOR A MUCH MORE EXPESIVE SPEAKER WHICH HAD FAILED.THE "DUAL VOICE COIL" SET UP CAUSED A BIT OF HEAD SCRATCHING, AND NUMEROUS YOUTUBE VIDEOS DIND'T HELP MUCH, UNTIL I FOUND ONE THAT EXPLAINED IN VERY SIMPLE (IDIOT PROOF) TERMS.IT WAS A MARGINALLY LARGER DIAMETER THAN THE OUTGOING SPEAKER, BUT A FEW MINUTES OF FRANTIC SANDING SAW IT FITTING SNUG IN THE SEALED SUB BOX.WITH SIMPLE "PUSH BUTTON" CABLE CONECTORS, INSTALLATION AND WIRING WAS A BREEZE!IT'S OBVIOUSLY NOT AS GOOD QUALITY AS THE OLD SUB, AND IT'S PLASTIC CONSTRUCTION WAS A CONCERN THAT TURNED OUT TO BE UNFOUNDED.HOOKED UP TO A STINGER 700 WATT BRIDGED AMP I AM MORE THAN HAPPY WITH THE SOUND, AND IT HANDLES HIGH VOLUME, WITH THE AMP GAIN AT 3/4 WITHOUT ANY DISTORTION.I HAVE IT WIRED TO GIVE 2 OHM RESISTANCE, AND EVEN AFTER AN HOUR SETTING IT UP, IT'S NOT EVEN WARMIT HAS AN "ON LINE" WARRANTY REGISTRATION CARD, WHICH GIVES A STANDARD 13 MONTH WARRANTY, SO IF IT FAILS DURING THE FIRST WEEK OR SO, I'LL HOPEFULLY BE COVERED?IT KICKS REALLY HARD, AND SURPRISINGLY LOW BASS NOTES WERE ACHIEVED EVEN AT LOW VOLUME, WHICH IS VERY IMPRESSIVE.I'M NOT A TECHNICAL WIZARD, SO WON'T BE QUOTING FIGURES, BUT IT WORKS, AND SOUNDS GREAT.I'M NOT SURE WHY THERE ARE NEGATIVE COMMENTS, AS I AM MORE THAN HAPPY WITH THIS SUB, AND AT JUST OVER £30.00 IT HAS EXCEEDED MY EXPECTATIONS WITHOUT QUESTION. I CAN ONLY ASSUME, PEOPLE ARE WIRING INCORRECTLY, OR MASSIVELY OVERPOWERING THEM?KEEP YOUR EXPECTATIONS LOW, AND I GUARANTEE YOU WON'T BE DISSAPOINTED!
