I have never seen a website or any contact info on them. But like Big Purds said I would find a more reputable company.

you get what you pay for and these products, while they may appear to be a bargain, are very much garbage and are cheaply made and designed.

Has anyone here that bad talks Volfenhag acutally used them? I personally have 2 12" and they so far have performed just fine and sound excellent. I have used Orion and Audiobahn in the past. I run both on a Cadence z9000 amp wired 2x400@2ohm and that configuration has been running stable with no distortion for over a year now. The box is a homegrown 3/4" MDF sealed box allowing 1 cu ft per sub.

I'll give you this, ANYTHING sounds like ass in a poorly designed system.

My bro also had them for a while (until theft), he had 4 in his car running 750 watts per and was hitting 158db or so.

Lord_Kaos I will come out as far as calling you a liar until you can prove that he was hitting 158db with Volfenhag subs...

I have installed them for people, pretty much letting them know exactly how poorly they were going to sound while doing it, and they have always lived up to their garbage name...I have cooked a pair of 12s with 1000W myself for a guy so he could get warranty on them...

I am by no means a n00b as far as car audio is concerned...I have hit 158.8db with a single sub setup with nothing really optimized in a box I built in 45 mins on the day of the comp...I know how to build boxes, and I always do the best I can for the customers which I install for...you can not tell me that your brother has hit 158 db with even 4 of these POS subs...I have seen them, used them, blown them...

like I said before, GARBAGE!!!

One of my friends put 2 12's of their red subs, not sure if there is more than one series of their red subs, honestly there shouldn't be a series at all. He hooked them up and came to show me them and i thought something was wrong with them so he exchanged them. Nothing wrong, the subs were just pieces of crap. Makes me think of the awesome quality of houston acoustics, lol.

I don't have to lie. And I don't have to prove to anyone that they work fine. I've got nothing to say other than I am still running a pair and they have not so much as even distorted on me at all. Anyone who believes the specs on the sub and it's ability to handle 1000 watts is naive anyway. it doesn't take more than 350 to pound the hell out of them.

But let me reiterate for you people that can't read a full paragraph. I DON'T have anything to prove, and have no reason to lie. the 158 with 4 Volf's was valid (unless for some reason the db meter at the competition was off)

lol...when its that wrong, off is not the word...how about "in need of replacement..."

if the meter was that far off I would probably shatter the world record with my front stage...

any good sub is underrated, not overrated...

if you look at a Diamond Audio TDX12 I believe they are rated to take around 2000W max, but the people that reviewed them gave them a rating of acoustically perfect with 6000W on them...not 600, but 6000!!!W...same thing with the Brahmas, or the w7s, or any decent woofer for that matter...

and you are correct, 350W literally pounds the crap right out of the sub...350W is almost enough to pound the cone right out of the basket...that doesnt mean its loud though...
