Customers say
Customers find the subwoofer delivers good sound quality, with one mentioning it produces thumping bass in a sealed box, and appreciate its value for money. The subwoofer receives positive feedback for its functionality, working well off the stock amp, and customers consider it a great replacement option. While the build quality and power rating receive mixed reviews, with some praising its high-quality appearance and decent power, others note it’s not as good as other brands and can’t handle 800 watts RMS. Several customers report issues with the subwoofer blowing after about 6 months of use.

Title: Great subwoofer for a good price!
Review: UPDATE: AFTER 2 WEEKS I TOOK THE SUB OUT TO PUT IN MY NEW ALPINE TYPE R, AND THE PLANET AUDIO SUB WAS A LITTLE STINKY…I THINK MAYBE 600-650 RMS MIGHT BE A LIIIITTLE TOO MUCH FOR THIS SUBWOOFER. STILL SOUNDS AWESOME AND POUNDS, BUT I WOULD SAY 500 OR SO RMS POWER IS ABOUT MAX FOR THIS SUB.I did a lot of research on subwoofers in the past month because I wanted to add a new Amp and Subwoofer to my car. My old system was 20 years old. I decided to purchase the Rockford Fosgate R500x1D Amp. Now I wanted a ‘cheaper’ sub to use @ 2 ohms, because the existing subwoofer I had was a single voice coil 4 ohm. So this Planet Audio AC10D was a nice $30 choice. This rockford amp is rated around 650 RMS watts @ 2 ohms…and this subwoofer pounds! I must have the volume and gain set on the amp perfect for this sub, so it’s getting probably around 600 watts (also verified with voltage and impedance tests at the speaker leads)…I’m telling you this sub gets low and rumbles my whole body and the whole car! I’ve got it in a shallow sealed ‘truck style angled box’ about .5 cu/ft. Very very impressed for $30, definitely worth it! If anyone wants bass on a budget, that amp is around $135 and this sub is 30 bucks…so for a $165, I am blown away by how cheap you can get Awesome sound out of a single 10″ subwoofer paired with a decent amp!! After this purchase, I am a Planet Audio fan for life.

Title: Impressed
Review: I bought these subs mainly because of their low price. The second I opened the box I was impressed. The sub looks good and was surprised by the fact that Planet Audio included box specs in the manual. I did use the specs to build the box for the subs. The subs hit clean and hard. I have 2 hooked up to a Planet Audio TRQ2.1000 running @ 2 ohms on separate channels for 150-200 watts each. They could handle double and be louder, but I chose a low amperage setup because I have a little Suzuki WagonR (I’m in Japan). Great choice if your space is limited or if your like me and would just like to round out your sound without winning a competition, unless you bought 4 or more. Haha. I’ve owned a sub from almost every brand out there, JL, Fosgate, Infinity, JBL, Soundstream…I could go on for days, but this is my first experience with planet Audio and would definitely buy the brand in the future. As to Why I gave 4 stars and not 5 is because The speaker connectors are a little flimsy but understandable since the price is so low.

Title: Budget doesn’t have to mean busted with this sub
Review: Does a really decent job for the price. Surprisingly effective even with minimal air space in a Miata. Nearly equal to RE Audio equivalents and uses 2/3 the depth.

Title: Blows up after 10 days mild use.
Review: I had a shop install the sub with the amplifier that was matched for it and in 9.5 days it was done. Now I can’t find my receipt so I don’t know what to do with it besides just eat it. I can say that the sound was very deep and very clear. I imagine it just can’t handle the power rating advertised, or even half that much. If you put maybe 300 clean watts of MOSFET power to it you will get a decent sound. I used the planet audio 1500 watt monoblock amplifier model #AC1500.1M and after the break in period of 20 hours low level volume, I turned the amp up to 25% and it sounded fine. After another couple days I powered it up to approx 50% power with no bass boost, head unit settings all at default, nor any audio boosting apps, as it was clear digital music, and a half hour into the ride it was making such weird grinding noises I was afraid it might catch fire. So, I removed the speaker, inspected for damage, odd smells, anything, tested the amp with a 12″ 1400 watt subwoofer and it was fine. And nothing. The tech at the shop said it was a faulty voice coil and that I should have picked a different company if I wanted a 15″ sub that was worth the time.That being said, the experience wasn’t without it perks. The delivery speed was fine by me, although it was several days late, I was informed of the speakers location and Amazon went above and beyond keeping me informed of why and what and where so on and so forth. So good job Amazon.Now, imma send the speaker back, let’s see how it gets remedied. Hopefully the sales ticket from Amazon will suffice for replacing this item. Maybe it was just a bad factory install or faulty materials, I cannot say. And that happens. But let’s just wait and see what planet audio does as far as honoring their product warranty. I can appreciate their amps as the one I purchased is very good. I would buy again, and if this is remedied appropriately then they will retain me as a customer for many years to come. If not, well I seek another brand.Bad speaker-good amp-Amazon right on target and very thorough.

Title: Perfect for the price
Review: I built an oversized enclosure, and over powered it, and it was awesome for about 9 months. I lost one voice coil, but I have abused it for this long, I am happy with it.

Title: Still not sure it’s any good.
Review: I’m still on the fence about this speaker. 1st, it’s too deep to fit in the place it goes in a 2002 Yukon XL (in the very back by the lift gate door); we think we can work around that. 2nd it has a rattle to it. I have other replacement speakers for the front doors on the way and we decided to see how they all work together before making a final call on quality and returning, but right now it has a lot of rattle to it even just on the basic radio bass setting in a factory stereo system in the Yukon. Main takeaway right now though is this is a deep speaker, meaning the number of inches it goes back inside the hole in your car.

Title: Great option power for your buck.
Review: These are to me for the cheaper side of subs, a really good option. Power is rated good, and i have maybe 2200 watts on 2x. And handle it great. Purchased previously 2 and banged them over 2 years no issues . And recommend them to anyone on Budget bass. I run a 1 ohm load on my dvc 12’s. And they are great over the road and around town. Im always full blast. It’s why i have them in first place.

Review: Ordered this to replace the blown factory 8” subwoofer in my 2000 GMC Yukon. I have it running off of a Pioneer CarPlay touchscreen head unit running thru the factory GM amplifier and it sounds really decent for the price point. Very impressed. Down the road I will power it from an aftermarket amp but for now this sounds nice and clear and even outputs enough bass to vibrate the side and rear view mirrors. Recommended!
