Acceptional Subwoofer

Daniel from Davenport, FL on 10/23/2023

Bought 2 of these to put in a 05 Sierra crew cab. I have a JL HD 1200/1 pushing them. They hit hard and very clean. For the price, size, and powering handling I'm impressed. A couple negatives I have is that the mounting surface is quite wide so there's possibly for issues if you're wanting to put these right next to eachother in the same box. Lastly the plastic trim for the speaker is nice but kinda bulky. For someone who is tight on space it makes install a little harder. In just my experience the box I have is .75 cubic ft per chamber so although these hit hard I don't get as deep bass as I was hoping. A bigger box and I'm sure these will get low.

Pros: Low air space required Powerful Small in size to fit in tight areas

Cons: Surround is quite bulky Mounting surface is quite wide

These hit hard in my ram with a fox box! Can't go wrong with an Alpine.

Pros: Good if u need a small box. Gotta good on low power and high.

Cons: Don't know any.

Audition speakers before you buy

SpeakerCompare simulates the sound of home and car speakers through your headphones. It lets you compare sonic characteristics between speakers so that you can make a more informed shopping decision.

Why selecting your headphones is important

SpeakerCompare tailors your listening experience to the exact headphones you have, so that what you hear is comparable to auditioning speakers side-by-side in person. Knowing which model headphones you’re using lets us remove any sonic coloring from your experience.

Two different listening modes

In an actual listening room, you'd find that some speakers play louder than others when fed the same amount of power. In equal power mode, you'll hear these differences in loudness as they naturally occur between speakers.

In equal volume mode, we've made the loudness of each speaker about the same. This gives you a more direct comparison of subtle voicing differences between speakers.

Nothing beats listening to speakers in your space

SpeakerCompare gives you a sense of the sonic differences. But performance in the real world is affected by the acoustics of your car or home, your choice of amplification, and your source material. We still believe that the gold standard for auditioning speakers is hearing them in your own environment — that’s why we offer a 60-day money-back guarantee.

Our Listening Kit

To help you choose the right speakers, we recommend using Crutchfield’s SpeakerCompare Listening Kit. It includes a pair of studio-quality headphones, and a guide to getting the most out of your session, and a few other necessary items. We’ve carefully chosen the components of this kit to ensure a crystal-clear listening experience. It’s available for a nominal rental fee, and includes a $25 Crutchfield merchandise credit.
