They are

they are 12" Thump! speakers. They are 1000watt peak and 500rms power handleing each. the magnet is about 4" long so I had to grind down (yes with a grinder!!!) my MDF box so they would fit.

I had 2 12" sony's before, and these subs that were CHEAPER (I got them from one of them places that gets products from stores that go bankrupt) for $50 each canadian.
They pound WAY more than my sony's. And seem to be more durable. (I burnt the voice coild on one of my subs within a month.)

I will take a side by side comparision of the sony's and the Thumps!. Btw I am pretty sure they are the top of the line Thump!'s.

when u do the fiber glass box u are gonna need way more than a quart, i used a half gallon just on the top part of my box, and i still have to put the mat on, and no that will not be enuff mat, u will need to at least put 3 layers down, fiberglass is strongest in the curves, so the flat parts need extra support so they dont flex from the sub, try making the bottom out of wood and just the top out of glass, thats what i did, and i have talked to Fishman audio to see how they did it and thats what they told me to do
