look at what they cost, you will also find them in wal mart... does that answer your question?

They actually sound OK in the right enclosure, , they are not very "hearty" though.. they dont handle abuse very well ( voice coils overheat/melt easily with extended play time)
I have seen them used in many systems, not very high sound output, other subs with the same power/setup put out more sound, but of course also cost more money. Just looking at/feeling the sub, they feel like a toy. very light thin basket. just does not hold up.
Hope this helps..

What!? your search is over. <--- that is the most impressive subwoofer I have ever heard for under $300

Check this out too. I also have a video in there at the bottom.


They have a special on the 10's that is actually under $100
