OK, so I'm 24 and I've had subwoofers in my cars ever since my first one. I've had Sony's, Rockfords and Alpine Type R's. Most recently have been my Rockford's. The car they were in, I wrecked. I transfered the subs to my new car, and needless to say they were ruined. So being strapped for cash I began looking at new subs, coming across the Boss Phantoms.

I have just one 12 right one (to test it out) hooked up to my Rockford p3001 amp, putting out 500 RMS at 2 ohms. WOW. Just this one speaker, hits harder than my Rockfords, and for fifty bucks? ARE YOU KIDDING ME? I'm highly impressed with the response, punch and loudness of the speaker. The only thing that I could say is towards probably about 40hz and down, they get unresponsive. They're rated to 25 hz I believe, but this isn't really a big deal to me. Other than that, I can't wait to throw another 12 in my trunk and let these bad boys rip my car apart. It's honestly, disgusting.

I have 4 of these subs in my jeep now hooked to 2 4000 watt pyle amps at one ohm. I tuned the boxes to 33hz each. A friend of mine has 3 audio q's in his car and he paid close to 2000 for his entire system. When I told him I was buying these 50 dollar subs from boss he laughed. My wallet has always been smaller than him so I have to go cheap.. I found these subs here on amazon and took a chance, and man I am glad I took the chance. I out pounded his system by FAR. I have pushed these subs to their max and have had no problems. They stay cool even with 1150watts going to each speaker. You will not go wrong buying these subs. The guy with the 2 star review........ Well all i got to say is you have to know your limits. I broke these subs in slowly over 3 days. And have been absolutely pounding the @#*! out of these subs for a while now Theyre holding strong!

I bought this sub a week and a half ago... got it 3 days ago... i opened the box to see this amazing sub and what do i find?... the dust cover (center of the sub) is off and on the bottom of the box... and the ring around the sub that says boss on it is barely holding on.... (I WAS PISSED OFF!!) all that waiting and what do i get? a sub thats falling apart before i even take it out of the box?!! thats horrible... i reccomend just saving your money and buying a good quality sub... sorry boss audio... i gave you a shot and you blew it... :( the sub isnt horrible sounding... it doesnt even take 2300 watts (i hooked it up to a Power Acoustik 2200/2 channel amp and it was distorted at 1/2 volume) well if you wanna pound in the cab and hear nothing outside then its a good sub but if you wanna shake the ground, get an alpine type-x 12 or an alpine type-r 15 (great subs kinda spendy tho)

Good Subs! I had one Alpine type R with an alpine mrp-m650 and wanted to upgrade my system for cheap! I thought the reviews on this were great, so I Said what the heck let's give it a shot! I bought them hooked them up and I was disappointed but i was not happy either!

...Here is the Reason why...

These subs are great for beginners who just want a good amount of bump but for me I wanted my car to shake Stuff up. The only problem with these subs is they cannot be connected with big mono block amp because they will distort however if you an ok amp these subs are great. If your on a budget and want some bump in your life and are low on cash this sub is for you;however If you want you system to be loud spend more money and buy quality like rockford,alpine, or kicker, basically dont let the specs on this fool you they are not cea-2006 compliant so these don not really push the watts or frequencies that it claims to output.

Bottom Line...

Buy if on a budget stay away if you want quality hard hitting sound can never go wrong with name brand!

Yea! I bought one of those 126's and I'm not dissatisfied one bit. I got a 15' kicker running wit this Boss sub and it hits just as hard as my 15', if not harder. For the most i gots to say that this speaker ain't no joke. It pounds the brain swell. I had to order another one to really make em mad at me. The speaker pounds for sho.

I dont know why everyone has been hating on these subs. I have them hooked up to a Old School Kicker 500.2 amp in my 93 Accord...And it sounds incredible nice bass low are alright, Highs ok...mids crazy, I got a new amp for christmas (PA BAMF Series 4000.1 Mono block Amp). But this is a temp. setup for the upgrade to a PA MOFO 12.

Ok so i just bought 2 of these and i have no idea what kind of amp to buy so many mixed reviews? can some one help

Thanks for the Boss speakers,I love them and they were a great buy at a great price.I am very satisfied with my purchase,and anyone looking for great sounding and good quality Boss speakers these are for you

So i bought these Friday and finally got around to put 2 of 3 of these in Monday...and i do admit there were some problems but it was my fault...just so you guys know make sure you run the amp at its right ohm and the subs at its right ohm...i found out the hard way with four pioneer champ series pros....anyway these subs bang...I'm running the Kenwood X1200M eXcelon Gouriki Mono (1200@2ohms) with only two of these subs(still need to build a box for my third)

oh i have my amp set at half because the subs are probably really at 500-700rms but even with that set back they do bang...I'll get back to y'all in a week or so maybe my review will change if they burn out.

FREAKING SPEAKERS BLEW AFTER ONE DAY OF INSTALLATION GOT THE AMP TESTED ITS PERFECTLY FINE FALSE ADVERTISEMENT ON WATTAGE RESISTENCE AMP WASNT EVEN ON MAX
