Review: Tiene buena calidad de sonido en el bass y facil de instalar, es muy buena opción en relación calidad y precio
Review: Excellent replacement for the factory 8" JBL shallow mount subwoofer in Toyota vehicles. Some minor modifications are required but not to the vehicle. Some speaker leads and the sub basket needs trimmed slightly to mount easily. Sound is improved over stock JBL sub. Mounting circle is smaller diameter than the stock subwoofer, doesn't direct fit. Trim the six mounting holes to mount using stock hardware and grill. I used a sheet metal zip cut disc on a grinder, Less than thirty seconds to modify the basket to fit the stock, non modified enclosure. Wiring was simple enough, I did fabricate a factory harness adapter. Four male spade end crimp-on terminals and two feet of stranded 18 guage wire (4x6"). Build quality of this sub is excellent for the price point. You won't be disappointed unless you are comparing to much more expensive subs. Sound quality is very good for a shallow mount sub, improvement over factory Toyota. This sub is driven by the factory amplifier no problem. No it is not going to be utilised to capacity by the factory JBL system, but it is totally compatible and an upgrade all around. Price is one quarter to one fifth of the high-end shallow mount subs of this size that are three inches or shallower mounting... Wow! Yes I'd buy it again, doubt I'll have to! Been running it for a week only, but hey so far it's been a huge improvement over stock. The Hifonics Brutus is a far cut above the Toyota factory JBL subwoofer. Nuff said.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Can this be used on a boat ?**
A: I don't see why not I wouldn't drown any Electronics underneath water but spray wouldn't hurt it a bit not on the face of it anyway there's not even a voice coil cover

**Q: What is the mounting depth of this subwoofer?**
A: It's a little less than 3in. So if you use it with a 1in. mounting ring and you've only got 4inches to work with you should be good. Great sound, make sure you take the time to break it in.

**Q: can i connect the subwoofer to 2 ohms on my 2000 chevy suburban? The factory one comes at 2 ohms but I don't know if this can be contacted at 2 ohms t**
A: These subs can be wired 2 ohms, but a factory amp might not be able to push them

**Q: Is this water resistant**
A: No not water resistant

Performs and punches above its class used in a glass fibre under seat enclosure with a reasonable quality amplifier and the results were fantastic. The support from the amazon team who assisted with the purchase was also first class.
