The G3's are nice subs. I actually have two of these that are brand new. Otherwise I might consider getting this one.

Thanks for the kind words! I'm running these off my Boston GT2125 amp at 350RMS and they're always attenuated - they aren't power hungry.

I'm not in Boston. They're from Peabody, though!)

I replaced these with a single-sealed G5 and I think it has satisfied the BASSHEAD part of me. Can't beat the SQ. I have to say - the G3 is as great sounding. Its very hard to tell a difference.

One day I'll do IB

I'm running the 9835 with some Boston GT amps. It still makes me

Yup! I had an IB system many years back with some JBL subs. I really liked that setup. I had my trunk space & I liked the sound it produced.

Looks like you're rocking some Boston gear - I have a question. Was there a break in period for the G5 sub? I'm not sure my G5 sounds as good as this one year old G3 sub

Yes, things started sounding better after playing it for a while.

I just picked up a brand new G5 10 as a back up. Then I saw & bought a G512RS enclosure right after. The enclosure has the G5 sub and a passive radiator. I really like these Boston subs. They sound nice and can move some air.

Thanks! I faintly remember my G3 sub sounding subpar - thinking it was weak. It was heaven once it broke in. It sounds better than my G5 now but I'm waiting for it to flex and go to a whole new level.

I'm looking to buy a PR from Boston. I am only running the G5 @ 400 and it's plenty. These Boston subs need WAY more credit than they deserve!
