They are LOUD. My friend has a single 12 in his car and it's insane. Just make sure you juice it.

Make your own enclosure. Or find a local shop that makes custom enclosures. With the weight of an enclosure, I doubt any website purchase would be worth it.

***********Frequency response 23-200 Hz*************

The subs are great but just make sure you understand what they are being used for. (Notice the frequency response above)
