Loaded with two DS Series 12-inch subs.

Plexiglass windows let you see the show.

Blue Illumination
Dual's patent-pending "llluminite" bulb system and control circuitry provide for extraordinary blue illumination, allowing for creative, color-coordinated installations. The curved plexiglass window protects while letting you see the show. The interior of your vehicle will never sound or look ordinary again (and hey, if you're not in the mood, just flip it off with the toggle switch).

Input Terminal Cup
The input terminal cups provide a quick and easy connection from your amplifier to the enclosure, and 12 volt inputs to power the Illuminite feature.

Computer-Tuned Acoustic Chamber
Dual's enclosures utilize a specialized tuned-port, computer-aided design to increase output efficiency.

Low Q Optimized Subwoofers
The subwoofers are designed to create loud yet very accurate bass.

Built Tough
Nailed and glued construction with added bracing eliminates enclosure movement caused by high sound pressure levels. The enclosure is carpeted for added protection.

Removable Illuminite Logo
This static poly logo can be placed on any window or glass surface.

One-Year Warranty
Get extra peace of mind with Dual's one-year limited warranty.

Great Value!!! LOTS OF BASS

Review Date: September 21, 2009

Reviewer: Nick's, Petaluma, CA - North Bay

I installed these last week in my E46 M3 and have been very impressed. Much better low bass than my old 12's. Hooked up to the same amp a 1000-watt mosfet and capacitor. For the price you can't go wrong. Very clean and solid construction of the box and hasn't moved since I installed, though plan on a strap or brackets to ensure no movement under hard braking.

Lights are nice and don't distract.

No problems so far and have cranked to where the Harmon Kardons crackle and the bass is still solid. Need to replace interior speakers now and install dynomatt!

Hard hitting 12's that look awesome!

These Dual 12's can really perform when hooked up to a good amp of at least 1200 watts and a capiciter. I had them in a 92 ford escort hatch back and those 12's would shake the whole car from bumper tip to bumper tip! The rear license plate would jump at least 2 inches with only 2 bolts on the top of the plate. If you are looking for some hard hitting low bass shake you like crazy subs these are for you!

OMG What a Buy!!!!

I have had descent systems in the past. Was wanting to get another system. I wanted a low budget system. I seen these for $150.00 and was unsure of how they would perform. I took a chance and let me tell you I was overwhelmed. I didnt expect the bass the these subs produced when I connected them to my 800 watt cheap sony amp with a electronic crossover. You can not go wrong with these. You do need a crossover, it makes a big difference. the subs has a crossover built into them, but it isnt that good. I have had more expensive subs, these far out performs them. The Blue lights are a great bonus. Trust me if your not for sure and thinking about getting them, do it you will not be disappointed.

Surprised

Installed this box in a 2000 Grand Prix. The box port aligns up just right with the ski hole. Running it off a Phoenix Gold Ti 500.4 amp bridged putting out 250w, sounds very clean. Mostly listen to rock, but sounds good with all kinds of music I throw at it so far.

Ran box light power off of head-unit remote turn on wire (and amp ground), so sub box light comes on when the radio is on.

One thing to note, this box only has one input, rated at 4ohms. So keep this in mind if you were planning on bridging the 2 speakers down to 2 ohm's, it's not possible. I am guessing 8ohm speakers are installed.

I took a chance on a lesser known brand, and am pretty happy so far. I will likely purchase the 10" single sub from Dual for the wife's vehicle now.
