These are not bad little subs.
I had two in the gloss black.
Ultimately sold them because they could not go as deep as I would have liked nor energize my fairly large room sufficiently.
Though they are inexpensive, the real value is the 45 day trial period (SVS pays shipping both ways), and the 5 year unconditional warranty (odds are a plate amp will go out within 5 years - at which they will send you a new amp panel).
