Are these subs good for the money?

To tell you the truth I would stay away from walmart audio. If you want to stay low budget and still sound decent pioneer's premier line isnt bad. Also JL Audio just came out with a W0v2 which sounds pretty good and is only $100.00. Might want to check that out.

I have one of these and couldn't be happier. Ya I'll admit you won't wake up the neighbours but it'll definitely harm your hearing... alot.

What I love the most though is the fact that I can remove it in 30 secondsn when I need the extra space, especially with my MacGyver style sub mount. It does come with a straps and mounting hardware, but I really didn't feel like drilling into the floor of my truck.

I find it to be great value and if you don't want to put the money ou for a deck at this point, it sounds good with the factory head unit too (just sounds 10x better with my new Fusion deck). I was so impressed I bought a Fusion FD-245 deck to go along with it. (at a steal, 120dollars for a 300 dollar deck, gotta love buying non-current.)

crutchfield is overpriced on everything....what is your budget on a sub and I can help you out. $100 for a JL w0 is too much as well

I've got two of them in my Blazer, they sound pretty amazing. If you want I'll get some pictures and maybe an audio or video clip of them for ya.

Edit: Mind you mine are only being run by a single 75W Sony Amp.

x2 the pioneer premier 12's are good and depending on ur location can get them for 20 to $40 more than the walmart special.....buddy of mine had one in a little truck box and it was a nice lil pounder....its all bout your budget

The Sound and Video quality sucks as they were taken with my cell phone cause I'm at work. But you can kinda hear how they hit.

x2 on this. I bought a pair of 6x9's from Wally world and they were garbage. My stock ones sounded better then them. Pay the extra few bucks and go to an actual audio place. It will be worth it.

Yay!! Someone loves me enough to remember me! lol

I was really busy for a while. Backed into a Mustang so I was busy doing body work on that and I just found out that I have a wireless network at work, so now for the 10 hours I'm here I can do stuff lol.

But yeah, I should be on more often cause I'm gonna be buying a lot of stuff for the blazer here soon
