Are they good subs? That looks too good to be true.

The only thing this sub has going for it is the mounting depth and the price. Maybe a good buy as an upgraded sub for a computer, but outside of that, you get what you pay for. I would personally save up for something that will actually do what I need it too, sound good and get loud.
