DC Audio Level 3 10” subwoofer
I can’t believe the capability of this sub, paired with a Gately box is the perfect combo, I’ve had 2 12’s in the past that weren’t this loud, great quality and fast shipping!

Lots of bang for the buck
I ran these in my 350z and lived them. They don't need much room in a sealed box so it worked out great for my application. Now I have them ported in a lager vehicle and love it! Btw, customer service @ skyhighcaraudio is great, very helpful with my build.
