This is a subwoffer I bought many years and unfortunately never used. It was bought originally with a wooden enclosure and from that a mold was taked to produce the custom formica one. The top subwoffer is chrome plated and the lower is not. The two 10" woffers are rated at 300 watts RMS and can be wired for 2/4/8 ohms.
If you guys are anything like me you exclusively drive Fieros and won't be able to justify taking out the parrenger seat just for a subwoffer.
As for the price I am looking to get $200 out of it and just thought I would give it a crack here before I put it on E-bay. I would put it on PFA but it isn't really a Fiero item.

The isobaric design is generally used to create tight bass in a small cabinet. Since this particular cabinet is ported a little bit of that tightness is taken away. All in all it is a very nicely balanced.
If you are really interested I will check out shipping for you but not until monday since I have weekend plans.

Yeah, it should do nicely in the back of that thing. I was originally going to put it in an 81 Honda Accord that I had rebuilt but I got rid of the car much sooner than I thought I would. Ohh well!
Stimpy, It looks like I can ship it insured for $25. If you are interested still let me know and I will tell you more about it. Also I am going on vacation at the end of the week so you probably won't hear from me after Friday until mid August.

Can you take a picture of it next to something that I can compare the size of, like a 2 liter of Coke or some thing? How much power will I realisitcally need to drive that thing? Any deals on amps?
I may wind up going with an Infinity Basslink instead, as I can get one off eBay for about the same price and I want to keep the trunks space. But I also know someone who is looking for a bigger set-up, so If I don't get it , I'll pass the word on.
I will work on getting you a picture later tonight. I can tell you that it is about 18" x 18" x 14" I will get more accurate dimensions though later. As far as an amp I am keeping all that I have. For this speaker I would use an 100-150 watt amp. I had it running on 100 watts at 4 ohms with a high quality amp and it sounded great. With a lower quality amp you will want to have a little more power though and it could handle all of 300 watts. It all depends on what you want to do.
One really nice thing about this speakers is that you can wire it for 2, 4 or 8 ohms so that makes fining an amp to match it that much easier.

You mean the isobaric design? Well basically you get the power of two speakers in a box about the size needed for just one.
I bought it for my 81 Honda like I said and it really didn't have that big of a trunk. In order to get two speakers in that car in a normal configuration it would have taken up half of the trunk.
