BOSS Audio Systems CH12DVC Chaos Series 12 Inch Car Subwoofer - 1800 Watts Max, Dual 4 Ohm Voice Coil, Sold Individually, Hook Up to Amp

Ive ordered 12 of these subs over the past year because people keep wanting to buy my system after hearing it. Not one of the 12 subwoofers have blown a voicecoil yet , and believe me when I say that they are constantly being played at high volumes. Here is a little advice for those who are interested in rocking a banging system for an incredible price.I recommend that you buy two or more of these subs depending on how much airspace you have in your vehicle. If you have a single cab truck , 2 of these subs Will beat clear and satisfying. If you have an extended cab truck or small sedan you'll want at least 3 to add cone space to the added airspace. In a SUV , I'd recommend 4 to add to the cone space to the added airspace . With these subs being available around 25 bucks on Amazon , purchasing multiple subs won't really hurt your pocket.I recommend running a Boss Riot 1100 watt amp on each sub your going to use. The amps can be purchased on Amazon for the incredible price of 50 bucks each! Most car and truck batteries can handle to of these amps being hooked up to it , but don't be trying to listen to your system with the vehicle turned off because it will kill your battery and you have to charge it back up. This amp works well with these subs for various reasons , first they are made by the same brand manufacturer which means they are tuned in to complement each others performance , where if you were to use some other brand amp or sub , it just wouldn't sound as good because of one peaking on certain frequencies that the other wasn't manufactured to. Second , the amp is 1100 watts and the sub is 1500 watts , which means that as long as you only turn your amps power to a little over the halfway mark you'll receive top performance without worrying whether your gonna blow something. 4 gauge power and ground wire is also recommended , and please make sure you have good grounds for your amps and have them in separate areas when using multiple amps. Don't run speaker wires or auxiliary cords beside power wires.I prefer to listen to many genders of music and I always install a sealed enclosure instead of posted or bandpass one's. The airspace required for the sub is .8cf .Most aftermarket enclosures are going to be 1cf or larger. So if you go the aftermarket route , I suggest that you liquid nails a peice of 9in×9in 3/4 mff on the inside of the enclosure , then fill 25% of the enclosure with fluffed out polyfiber from any cheap pillow , and mount the subs inverted. I had to reverse the polarity on mine which means you will to.Finally , the subs will take a short break in process where it adjusts to the airspace of your enclosure and loosens up the new voicecoil. So listening at mid level for a couple of hours before you start quaking is probably a good idea. Hope this helps those who are interested in getting these awesome subs.

The media could not be loaded. This thing thumps! If your looking for good deep bass this is what you want. I have it running on an 800 watt amp and it runs great. Don't listen to the other reviews it run great and run just fine on 800 watts. The whole speaker is great quality. This is by far the best speaker you can by for the price. If you like loud thumping music this is perfect for you. Highly recommended.

Not as advertised. They are fine subs if you are only putting a couple hundred watts through them. At 500 real world watts to a pair of these the voice coils burned up shorting the amp. Luckily the amp went into protect and saved itself but the voice coils separated themselves from the cone and seized in the air gap. A waste of money if you plan to put real wattage through them.PS. for the doubters, was a 1500W (tested) amp with gains turned down to about 900W and, clamped, the meter read just under 500W when they went. No clipping of the signal or anything like that. Just way overrated wattage on the subs.

Looked at the reviews before I bought this, it seemed like it was a 50/50 gamble whether it was going to be a very good purchase or a waste of money. In my case it was a very good purchase. At least for a starter system. The bass hits hard and is very clear, when I had everything hooked up I made sure the amp I bought (also a boss amp) was at the lowest power setting and worked my way up from there to "tune" the amp and sub by ear. I can honestly say it's the best 40ish bucks I have spent subwoofer speaking. I would say if you start out with max power on your amp you'll blow the sub just like how most of the negative reviews have.

Absolutely love these subs. For the price, the sound quality is incredible. The installation was easy for someone with not too much audio experience. Overall, I highly recommend this subwoofer to anyone looking to upgrade their car audio system, or to replace blown subs like I had.

My speaker was working good then the cone separated from the spider part of the speaker after I was able to return it. I Houghton some glue to put it back together. Hopefully it works.

I'm running 2 of these in an under the seat box and they hit hard! make sure to get the right power wire and fuse as I've blown 2 fuses already! Once broken in for about a month they work great and I will be purchasing again if I ever get more.
