DVX 12
I have 2 of these in a custom enclosure on a jp63 at a half ohm amd they are bad as a hell. Produce MAJOR lows and my box isn't even tuned tht low 33hz. They still also have a ton of tht punch tht some ppl seem to worry they will lose with an spl type sub. Plus the carbon fiber dust cap with the raised D4S logo is beautiful. Buy them while you can especially with the tax return sale price.

Awesome sub for the low'zzzzz
This sub is badass but it's hungry. I have one in a single cab 24 Silverado with a JP23 v.2 and it's snacking on that amp. Make sure your electrical is good and you won't be disappointed.

DVX 12 dual 2 ohm
This sub produces deep low bass is some frequencies you can only feel . I was running another decent quality sub i will not bad mouth . It was good . But the DVX is o-h s-o much better. Cleaner and lower with clarity you can hear . I am so pleased with the sub I'm making the effort to go ahead and upholster my enclosure and showcase the equipment i have. I paired the DVX with the JP 23 V 1 . I believe it was a match made in bass head heaven . A perfect match . Thanks Jp . So many people like to complain in the world we live in today. You have done nothing but take care of me and I appreciate you. I'm not rich but and can't afford to spend a fortune on a stereo for my car and SUV but you will always have my business. Thank you . You are the best.

It’s loud and doesn’t bottom out!
I’m still breaking it in, but I have mounted mine inverted and at some tones you can hear the coil making little noises wouldn’t be noticeable if it was mounted regularly but it takes power really well no clipping and no bottoming out it’s loud as hell!
