Hi, i was thinking to get a new sub & amp after my car got broken into last week, does anyone know or heard about this sub with build-in amp? The item specifications and features can be view at: https://obconaudio.en.ec21.com/GC00963566/CA00963843/Subwoofer.html

Please give some advice if its worth getting...Thanks a lot..

Never seen that before, but if it's not too expensive it might be worth a try. Just be willing to consider it disposable if it is crap. If it costs around $500 Australian, get an Infinity Basslink instead.

I agree. Do yourself a favor and compare other all-in-ones to it.
Get the "real" specs too! At 15 amps max for a sub, you won't get much bang for your bucks.

I also agree with the Infinity Basslink suggestion, and I can verify it can beat some serious lows, cuz mine has been performing well for years in my '93 Pontiac Bonneville...a land yacht! Basslink looks small, but built and sounds solid as a rock! Got it new on eBay for less than US $170. about 4 years ago.
Do a google search for all-in-one subs, and compare features, specs, and cost. Find a quality brand you can trust.

Good luck!
