never heard of it, not going to say it is bad but if i were you i would just save my money and get better known brand subs like kicker, JL, alpine, etc.

I have a solo-baric kicker 12" and that thing is great! would highly recommend it

 

nooooo! power acoustik sound like crap. they will hit hard, but they are among the nastiest sounding subs i have ever heard. please dont get that

 

If you are looking for something to give you nice clean bass, I would recommend sticking with name brand. In my experience JL, Infinity, Boston, Alpine. Polksubs all put out really clean tight bass. I'm sure there are others but those I know for sure. Box plays a huge part in how it sounds as well.

 

O.k. then what does everyone reccomend. I'm looking for 1 10" or 2 8" subs. I'm not looking to spend big bucks on kicker, and jl. I'm also not looking ofr something thats going to win spl contest. Just something that will have respectable thump to it and sound good.

 

power acoustik isn't a bad company i have one of there amps. my friend has his subs they don't sound that good but thats cuz hes a retard and won't listen to me. He put them upside down a sealed box and doesn't understand that it doesn't do anything. He says it looks cool. but anyways back to topic. why is it that one you want??? is it because its a shallow sub woofer with still alot of power???

 

For decent sound at a reasonable price, I've had good luck with Kenwood and Pioneer. And for decent all around versatility I would go with 1 12", it will have much better range unless you get an expensive high quality 10". I've never been a fan of 8's...at least not for the only sub in the car. But that's just my personal opinion.

 

Rockford makes some good bang for your buck stuff... (if you look on ebay at least, lol)

 

Yeah I didnt think of that...the lower end Rockford stuff still sounds good and can be picked up for a decent price.

 

I was looking at the power accustic not only because of it being a shallow sub with alot of power but also because it take's up min space and I've always used there amps and nvr had any problems with them so i fig. i'd try the subs. And this is for a 08' tC not a civic. And the tc has very min space in the hatch so I want to keep it small to still have my storage room.
