User questions & answers

Question:	Any review on this subwoofer
Answer:	I am not sure how durable it would be using it like that. We currently are using it for children and occasionally for wheelchair assist however I have not seen anyone use it in that respect. I will tell you for the price it is a good buy. We had purchased 2 others from I believe Brunswick (not 100% sure if it was Brunswick) and they are also durable however they weigh between 30 to 60 pounds and are very difficult to move around. The ones from Rage are lightweight and made using a durable aluminum I believe. I don't think it is steel but it could be but is very lightweight if it is. Definitely recommend purchasing this product. Best ramp we have purchase for the money so far to date.
Question:	Does come in a pair or just one
Answer:	yes, I am totally blind and I am the one who put it together. It is very easy to assemble and disassemble.
Question:	What kind of single sub box/amplifier and 4 (6.5) door speakers can i use for this subwoofer and setup in a 06 chevy Silverado crew cab
Answer:	It is easy to handle. Folds in half and has a handle. Doesnt seem heavy at all. Ready to use out of the box. This model fits a 6 inch step perfectly. Very sturdy and works for mom and wheel chair weight of 225.
Question:	Can I run two of these off of my 2 channel amp, and will I need to jump one side to the other
Answer:	Yes It worked for us 6' foot, at least for a wheel chair, cane or walker? you will need some sort of strong railing, the 3' is too steep to be safe

User questions & answers

Question:	Should I get this 8in zvx or the sundown x? Is it really worth an extra hundred dollars 4 sundown
Answer:	Haven't heard what the sundowns sound like, but I have 1 single 8" zvx in a built to spec ported box matched with an 1800 watt/900 watt RMS amp and it sounds great.. about as loud as my 2 corwin vega 12"s I had before just more crisp
Question:	Does the zvx 8" dual 2ohm rms is 900W or the dual 4ohm
Answer:	both its a matter of what end load you want but both do the 900w just split it over the 2 vc either series (better have a big amp) or parallel
Question:	Will these zvx work good on a taramps 8k
Answer:	A 8k would be a bit much for 2 in my opinion but I’ve seen people do it before
Question:	So this is a 15 inch sub not an 18 inch
Answer:	They have both 15 and 18 in I recommend the 18 2 ohm if u have the space

Product description

Finalized terminal spacing, basket color, venting, cast aluminum surround clamp rings, etc. After about a year of work I think the U series maybe ready to start production soon. Stay tuned for more updates! This will be our new series to bridge the gap from the SA to the X v.2 series -- it is also the most direct replacement for the discontinued Z v.3 series but at a much lower price. They use the same voice coil as the X v.2 series; therefore RMS power is 1500-watts rated conservatively. The motor is a similar design to the X v.2 series with one less magnet slug since it isn't needed for use on these frames & soft parts. It also retains a magnet ID shorting ring just like the X v.2 series motor. I have tooled 4 new cone bodies & surrounds to mate up to an entirely different frame tooling from the 1st prototypes. These surrounds are based on the Z v.3 18" surround geometry as this has been our go-to cone for SPL (we use those cones in our Terra for our World Record in SS 3-4 class). We also have tooled the cones to support the same wide-flange dust caps we use on all the new platform drivers. They also feature custom tooled cast aluminum vent spacers to mate up correctly to these frames. We tooled 2 different spacers for this line. Another new feature (also fully custom tooled) is the cast aluminum surround bolt-on ring. We tooled one for each size U series. These woofers will have a similar sound to the Z v.3 series -- meaning they do not have the "new platform" sound of the X, Z, NS, etc.

Answer:	Hello,The recommended sealed volume is 3.04 cubic feet.
Question:	how many watts is this speaker
Answer:	I use an iNUKE3000DSP (3000W) with it and it rocks the house. The question should not be "How many watts is this speaker". It's "What wattage can this speaker handle?" would be the correct question when shopping for speakers. Its all in what amp you use to feed it.
