Car audio and electronics mag. did a test report on these subs back in september of 03 and might i say not bad at all with the ratings. You can actully still check out the article on the magizenes website. Just search TS-W2000SPL in there search box. (Anyway besides my subs) back to FREE AIR. Ives seen all over the palce non free air subs being inverted. whats up with that? And can i do it or not??????If not how are they pulling this off?

Like I said earlier, free air subs = bad idea in this application. A sub can be mounted inverted, with little to no loss in output. This is done for mounting depth issues with the magnets, airspace issues for box volume (magnets take up airspace) or if the person just wants to show off the backside of a subwoofer. This does not make it a "freeair" subwoofer by any means. A "freeair" subwoofer has a totally different set of mechanical parameters that optimize it for that kind of use. So like I originally stated, probably not the best choice for your system.

Top Secret, I can tell you but then my wife will kill me.

We may consider using these subs in one of our customers vehicle. Which amp do you have it powered to?

Also its funny that you mentioned about car audio and electro mag, I happen to be a subscriber. And guess what. a while back a couple of people were bagging on "Volfenhags" and oh boy guess what they made it in that mag, and seems they rated it out to be decent. have a few specs there too. I'll see if i could find the issue for you.

I'm very much interested in these premiere pioneers. Can u give me some more info specs on these subs?

94, you can have all the vofenhawgs you want. Not me, thank you!

Build the box so that it performs well in the worst case scenario and, in return, it will reward you at all times.

In defense of those volfenhag people, they sure do know how to make a really red sub! I mean look at xplodes, they are red and they are sooooo kick ass!! Volfenhags are EVEN MORE RED!! They must be like the best subs EVER!
