bet you haven't even heard a set.. and if you have what kind of power did the kid have to them?

i had w3011's and they took 1000wrms all day long. They didnt get very low because i had them tuned incredibly high (43.5hz) it was a box built for 10's that i fit 12's into.

Amazingly they sounded really good for a $44 speaker

Compared to my LVL4 they actually had better SQ in the 60hz range, but below 45hz was lacking

ok just so you know i have installed several pairs of these and most are ok at best but when hooked up to a low grade amp kenwoods shit is way overrated the first pair i installed was gone in two days they were on a pdx600.1 and i upgraded them to infinity and they haven't been back the second set I did was off a Kac-9103d and they only lasted a month kenwood constantly does this with all their products look around if you don't believe me saying that the 9103d is cea compliant at over 900 rms and then it gets tested at like 500 to 700 rms and their 12 subs that handle 400 rms and then fry in a week when hooked up to real power they rate their subs for their amps just know that

Your must be settin the amps wrong then, I hooked up 2 of the kenwood 12s in my friends jimmy, ported box, on a hifonics zx1006, each sub is gettin 300 watts, did over a 140 at a comp a few weekends ago, the last month or so he switched from 2 volt pre out deck to a 4 volt pre out deck, hasnt hurt the subs any, we did fix the amp gain now but they still run and perform great for 100buck..

never said they were bad just said over rated and that amp your using is under rated try putting a true 400 rms to those for a while and see what happens i was just making an observation based on my experience and you kinda proved my point with the 300 rms per sub that you said not trying to start an argument tho just made a statement think what you want better subs out their for the money is all my point was

no argument, just say how it went, I know the amp is over rated, but i also said it was putting out a very clipped signal, and the subs didnt mind at all. they gave great numbers too, I would never use them, i run way bigger things, but ive had these, and there lower models rated at 150 rms(won them in a raffle) I put them on an alpine 5 channel, putting out 370 to the pair, they didnt pop either,

your experiences are bad, mine are good, could be install related, could be where you bought it.

LOL at the bad monkey though haha, the average person working mcdonalds or something wantin to do something cheap so obvi your options are limited... or just not buy anything in fear of being a "bad monkey"?

ok dude, i work in a grocery store, making min wage, have had a car since May, and am rolling with an Alpine head unit, Eclipse mids/highs, DLS mids/highs amp, Audiopipe sub amp, and a Fi Q 12"....

Save your money to get something decent.

Buy one thing and need an additional 4 more things, it all adds up, in the long run, you end up saving money. Rather then buying shit equipment after buying even shittier equipment, that all adds up to, and the money you spend replacing the cheap shit with cheap shit could've been saved for a GOOD piece of equipment.
