Love that basket design. The new American Bass subs use the same one. The "King" is an absolute monster sub.

Dude thanks for listening to me and reviewing the thermo line 💙🤙I wish it did better!

Looked like it jumped the gap... 6k, that's wild.

Wish you could hear my 18. It's mounted in a 55 gallon black plastic drum, that's been cut down a little and braced really good. Man I'm telling you it hits so hard, has a 5x13 inch tube port. Sub faces towards back and port towards the roof. Amazing. My design. Lol

It would be nice if he did the first tests, DB and RMS at it's rated power. Then if it breaks, it's on the woofer/company, if it survives then hit it with lots of power and see if it can handle or not. Imo prob not worth 350$, you can get some great woofers in that range.
