Rated 5 out of 5 by from Bring the thump! Running 2 of these in parallel at 2 ohms with an Orion 1000.d XTR amplifier, these things absolutely slam. Great punch with Metal and superb lows with hip hop and dubstep. Have both firing to the rear in a sound deadened trunk, highly advise you do this as the acoustics are improved immensely. A little big because of the bandpass design but absolutely worth it if you have trunk space to spare.

@ Joe G at Customer Service - The Synthesis has a Subwoofer already which came along with the sound system - I was wondering I could bypass it with this one. Will I still be needing the amp if I'm using the channel ?

What speaker is in the box? Also does the S3-1224 12" fit inside this box?

Asked by: CaneCorso
The speaker inside was designed specifically for GT-12BP, and the S3-1224 can theoretically work with the enclosure; however, we have no way to confirm that it will sound as good.
