Now that is one I can believe. I am sure that your system sounds very nice with the cyclone sub and the 200w amp. Plus I am sure that if you wanted people to know that, you would say that your system would stand toe to toe with them. I was just curious...are you using the 200w thoughout your install or just on the sub? Also I noticed that the sub was an 8 ohm sub so if the sub amp is 200w at 4ohms, then what would you be giving it at 8ohms?

I am not flaming you today...I did earlier because you called some of us out, but now I am being serious. When I heard that sub, it had about 400 watts running to it and it sounded fantastic, but according to your post, you have about 200w to run it. I know it won't get loud...but I also know it was one of the cleanest subwoofers around. VERY EXPENSIVE when it came out. So forgive me for doubting your $40 claim. If I remember correctly, they were around 1000 dollars so even 10 years later, for 40 bucks, the guy you bought it from was either a) an uninformed seller or b) an idiot.

Either way, you got one hell of a deal. Only problem is, if you need to repair that sub, since it is a discontinued model, I wouldn't know what your options are. But that is another problem all together.

My current subwoofer is a 400w rms sub, that is currently running more than the max power rating of 800w. But my gains are down so it is getting much less. I would love to hear your car as I am sure it sound fantastic with that sub...just don't call anyone out here in the future, they will take you up on it.

There are competitors, SQ fanatics, and SPL maniacs here. Everyone's system, whether they spent >$10,000 or <$1000, is their pride and joy. We welcome you to our little corner of the internet with open arms, but call us out, and those arms go into fighting stance. It happens with all of us. Why should you be any different.

Welcome to the site.

damn joe you make it sound so pretty!

well I am a teacher and I do public speaking too. Plus I am on Valium right now, getting a root canal and core done today at 10:45

I have 200 at 4 ohms so it should be getting 100 rms its rated at 150 wich would get it a lot louder but it is more than enough with wat im feeding it. you guys should check out the site in my last post.It will tell you everything about it. and also why it was discontinued.

my jeep has the factory stereo with an infinity basslink in the back. *shrug*
my entire "system" cost me about $200.

How does that basslink sound?

sounds fine for what it is, which is low fill. not really something you want if you're after earth-moving bass.

kiki, I thought you had the CV in the jeep?

not in the '01 Limited.
I just sold the '94 Laredo this past Fall.

hmm, I didn't know that, why did you go with a basslink, I heard one, and I was like yuck, isn't it like $400 or somthing like that?
