almost bought it- chose to run 4 g-5's with four gtr's instead- very happy!!  my friend has one, but hasn't put it in yet.  looks awesome, seen in person.  adds up to a 13 inch or so surface area.  the voicecoil is replaceable for around $35- how can you go wrong?  well, as long as you can afford to buy it and power it.  fyi- i think all bostons power ratings are way low.  my subs are rated at 450watts- i have about 1500 going to each one for six months and no bombs yet, just very loud clear bass.  and, yes: 1.0 cu ft box!

sweet sounds awesome. i dont have a lot of room. so one sub is all i can do and 1 cuft, i can spare that haha... i was either thinkin of doing a kicker 1000.1 or 1500.1 they are underated so i would get 1200rms out of the 1000.1 or like 1800 out of the 1500.1    please let me know how it is when he puts it in...

thanks man...

anyone else with feedback?

The kicker amps are underrated if you can put a consistant 14.4volts of power to them with the current they demand.   100-150 amps of current
