Review 2 of 7

Price Paid:  $0.00

Summary:
all i have to say is that i have to agree with u blake.even tho i dont own the pro series subs i do own two c1000's and they hit bass notes tightly and accurately.recommended power says from 50-850 but i believe they can handle more than what they rated this sub for.i have been listening to car audio on and off for several yrs and by far these are one of the best sounding subs for its price.am planning tho to get the rc 620 to complete my system.3 ways are jus to expensive for my tastes..lol

Strengths:
great power handling,enclosure size for small cars

Weaknesses:
could use better terminals such as those used for banana plugs

Review 3 of 7

Price Paid:  $200.00 from DeCa Autosound

Summary:
OK - Phillip is a dumbass. He claims that the sub did not have a lot of power. Sounds like a spoiled little 15 year old brat to me. Phillip - speakers do not MAKE power. Amplifiers are the only thing that make power. Dumbass. I think what Phillip here is trying to say is that HE didnt have enough power. Look kid - this is not street bass here. This is a sound quality subwoofer. It is not for SPL. I have a single pro 10 in my explorer and it sounds soooo good. I have been and car audio for several years, and i have never heard a more accurate woofer. Bass guitar sounds like it is comming from the front speakers of the car, etc. PS - Phil - you are not an audiophile. I would recomend this speaker to people who actually listen to MUSIC - not boom CDs.

Strengths:
Sound Quality - Accuracy

Weaknesses:
Extremely Inefficent

Similar Products Used:
I have had SEVERAL subs before this one, but none were sound quality oriented.

Review 4 of 7

Summary:
Let me start by saying that I have this sub in a box made just for it right to spec. It is a good sounding sub for slower types of music, but if you want to play somthing fast you need to look elsewhere for a sub. I am not sure if it is all Boston subs that bottom out, but mine does horribly. It can not handle fast bass from the likes of Metallica, or Slipknot. This is not the first Boston Accoustic product that I have put in my truck. I have the 6.5 pro series in the front and 5x7 in the rear and they sound awsome. I used to have a older set of Boston pro subs and they were much better then the one that I have now. I am running it with a Rockford Fosgate punch 4080 bridged, so it is not a power problem. Also, the price is way to high for this sub. imo.

Strengths:
Good bass for certain types of music, small box needed.

Weaknesses:
Cost is a bit high for a 10"

Review 5 of 7

Summary:
Awesome can't be beat for the box size requirements. Can handle the power reach the lowest of frequencies and do it acurately. The firstreview is messed up from what he described he must have not followed the recommendations in stuck it in a to big prefabcitated box, or even bandpass. This sub doesn't work well in a bandpass box. Little bit expensive but it takes up no space and sounds great go hear them for yourself.

Strengths:
Very good response and sq in such a small box. Best SMALL small box sub.

Weaknesses:
Price

Similar Products Used:
Orion, Lanzar, JL

Best Floorstanding Speakers Under $1000

So many to choose from! Lets us boil it down. How to Choose a Floorstanding Speaker that fits you:

AudioREVIEW's Budget Audiophile Holiday Guide

Give someone the gift of hi-fi. Or make the step yourself. Let us point the way...

Moscode 402Au OLT stereo power amplifier Review

George is adamant about the fact that the Moscode 402Au is not just a tube gain stage slapped onto a solid-state power amplifier; rather, it is a tube amplifier with a MOSFET output stage.

Lowther’s DX-65 driver in the Teresonic Magus XR Review

A new driver from Lowther is real news. A new five inch driver is even rarer news, so it was with great anticipation that I waited on this pair of speakers to arrive.

Aune Mini Headphone DAC User Review

The unit arrived from China well packed and everything seem to be in place. No external abuse by the carriers. The only problem was the power supply it came with. The box came with a cheap step-down converter.
