If you want something that hits HARD you're gonna have to spend more than $25 ... If it's just something that you want to buy and save some money just to listen to then I guess $25 is a good price depending on the condition ...

Yeah I definately agree that you get what you pay for... and if you are looking for something that hits, then you should expect to also pay for it

Pioneer DVCs

I'm running two 12" TS-W304C's in my trunk not with a pioneer amp, but with a Kicker Impulse amp and I'm very happy for the bass i'm getting for the price i got them for. Both subs for $120 hehehe the whole bass setup w/ amp only cost me about 650...we installed ourselves so we saved mad money anyone know how good the speakers i got really are? Also...what should i get for mids and highs? i heard infinity makes pretty good stuff...i want good quelity...heres the best pic i have of my subs...

25 bucks isn't that bad of a deal. But if you want something that hits really hard, you'll have to pay some more money. I'd go with those if you just want some good, simple bass.

u cant go wrong $25 for a working sub buy it. i have a 12 inch jl audio in a custom fiberglass enclosure in my spare tire well powered by a 840 watt amp and it sounds really good. definately a sound quality system. the best system i had was in my civic hatch, custom flush mounted box in the hatch even from the rear window to the seat holding to jl 10s running off a 1500 watt amp and one jl 12 running off the 840 watt amp with infinity crossovers all around running off a 420 watt amp. come to think of it i should took that thing to a competition or something im used to loud ass systems and that one f*ckin hurt! it could literally make u dizzy, it actually blew one of the struts out that support the glass on the hatch and knocked the needle off the gas guage when the bass hit one time. on top of it all it was clear as hell. i reall shouldnt have sold all that stuff dammit what was i thinking. im gonna get that 1500 back. oh yeah i was gonna say i definately recommend the infinitys i transferred them into my scooby when i traded off they sound great just whatever u do dont try to make them play any bass, sounds like ****!
