I have two of these wired in parallel to two ohms being run by a Pioneer GM-D7500M Class-D Mono Amplifier with 800 Watts Max. Power. They are in a small enclosed box with about .95 Cu Ft. They sound awesome... nice tight bass with rock and a good "BOOM" with Rap or Pop. I couldn't believe how well these sound and look. They are actually black and not silver like the pictures shows. I think the picture is a previous model. These subs replaced some Orion 10's (can't remember model #) but I will tell you I noticed a huge difference in sound quality and these seem to go to a lower frequency then the Orions or the MTX thunders in my pick-up. (I didn't look at numbers though, just went by sound) These are deeper than some other brands. Top mount took 5 1/2"s I had to put trim rings on my box to get them in as the Orion's where like 4 7/8". Anyway this is Polk's entry level series and I'm blown away by them, I can't imagine what their higher series sound like. For this price and Polk's reputation in sound you can't go wrong with these.

Polk Audio AA3084-A MM840 8-Inch Subwoofer Review

I drive a Honda Civic and wanted to upgrade the factory audio system without blowing my budget. After replacing the factory 6" door and rear deck panel speakers with Kenwood co-axial speakers, the sound I heard still wasn't as good as I wanted. The Honda factory option "Bass Kit" wasn't working well and was actually making things worse. I knew I needed a powered sub-woofer for the trunk. With a Civic, you also have to consider the amount of available space.
I decided to make my own sub-woofer package with components from Amazon. I started with this Polk Audio AA3084-A MM840 8-inch subwoofer. This one has a single voice coil design, and I paired it with a Sony mono XM1S amplifier at 290W RMS. Like most sub-woofers, this Polk Audio unit requires a sealed enclosure for performance (and warranty) requirements. I chose a small box, of about 0.46 ft3 volume, covered in charcoal gray carpet. The whole sub package takes up a portion of the trunk, but still leaves room for the things I normally store there.
The bass emitted by this setup is deep and accurate. Since I'm still using the factory head unit, I had the installer use the rear speaker high-level inputs to drive the amp. Now I can finally hear the bass player and the drum kit when I play my favorite rock music. The hip-hop/rap music my son favors sounds great as well, and the amount of bass can be adjusted simply by using the audio tone controls on the head unit. It all helps to drown out the road noise the Civic lets inside. The only distortion I have noticed occurs on particularly loud songs (e.g. Daughtry) when the volume control is set above 95% max. This is probably due to the amp, or the fact that I'm using speaker level inputs, not the Polk Audio woofer. But, at those volumes, my ears are ringing anyway, so I usually don't go there.
I'm loving it!

I am very pleased with speaker and the packing it came in. It was on time and well protected. The sound in my truck has finally got some balance with some strong bass.

I have one of these in a sealed 1.7cf sealed poly lined box and this thing is ridiculous. Bass is crisp tight and clean. If your looking for big boomy bass than this is not the sub for you. I have this hooked up 2 a JL audio e1400d mono amp and it rocks!! Big sound in a little bass. It wont knock pictures off the wall but it will set off alarms!!

Little sub and perfect for a small enclosure. Capeable of handling much more than the 250rms as specified on the packaging. Ive only got 300rms going to mine in a fullsize SUV and it doesnt even break a sweat. Great little sub, you cant go wrong with Polk Audio!

Have this installed in a box I built in the back of a Scion tC. Sounds great and delivers tight bass, nothing boomy. I've only had it for about a week, and supposedly it gets better with use. I was limited with my choices because I was working with a small space, and am glad I purchased this.
