It probably sucks. You get what you pay for. But then again, if all you want is lows and don't really care how it sounds, it's a cheap way to get it.

A wiring kit will probably be around $40 or so. That's assuming you'll need 8 gauge wire, cause I'm guessing that won't use more than 400W of power. If you go above that, you'll need 4 gauge and that'll be a little more pricey.

its ok stuff,
people will rag on it becasue they have never used it and only go by what people tell them. Those people have probably never used fusion either


its ok stuff

30 bucks is a good deal

sure you can do better but when cant you??


btw not all the car audio at wal mart is bad/cheap

the dura brand 12"s they had for $30 were basically Kicker CVRs with differant stickers
