My motto is ,you get what you pay for,buy cheap getting cheap, AMERICAN BASS ftw

I had 2 Eclipse 12's when I was 16.
It was good for the money.

But, never will I buy them again.

eclipse makes better highs and mids when it comes to speakers. and some awesome headunits. but Subs has never been one of their strong points


if you want them for now, and they are really cheaply priced then go for it. just test them first.

but there so huge the magnet is like 40lbs an it looks like its made really, well i checked the specs it claims, 500w RMS 1500 w max power 90db sensitivity.

yeah they aren't too bad. the ones out last year(maybe even the year before) were very similar. not the best. but they'll sound better than nothing.


but if you want something good for a good price, i have been looking on Craigslist for a while now. i want to get my hands on a Kicker SoloBaric or two. and i have hit a couple of them. some good prices for them too.

you may spend a little more or not. but you'll have a much better sub.

[doughboy415]

So that their secret to their high sound, low wattage.....

should look cool.

They made subs that could hang with the infamous w7...

Don't judge a sub by its magnet size or power handling.

The magnet off of my eclipse titanium is about 35 lbs. The newer eclipse subs are not as good as older aluminum and titanium series (sw81x2 and sw91x0), when they were built by TC sounds. My tc7 eclipse aluminum in a crap ass ported box was enough to tickle my nose hairs at about 400w and sound like an acoustic bass guitar at the same time.
