AC15D

KEY FEATURES

Dual Voice Coils

A Dual voice coil subwoofer provides more wiring configuration possibilities. If you add additional subwoofers, wiring configurations can be easily matched to optimize the amps power output. Power handling is also increased. Dual voice coil subwoofers are ideal for medium to high-power applications.

Ported Enclosure

This subwoofer will thrive in well in a ported enclosure. A ported enclosure is easy to spot because of the vent (port). This enclosure will be bigger than a sealed enclosure and it also has greater SPL output, resulting in chest-thumping bass with authority. For proper tuning and optimum subwoofer performance in a ported enclosure, we recommend using an amplifier with a subsonic filter.

Sealed Enclosure

This subwoofer will operate well in a sealed enclosure that will yield solid, tight bass. You can either purchase a pre-fabricated enclosure or build one to suit your installation needs. Sealed enclosures are relatively easy to build and are the smallest enclosure the subwoofer is designed for.

Great sub so far

Puchased this sub last Sunday and got it by Tuesday so shipping was fast. I purchased this sub to try out. And I have to say for $45 it is not bad at all. I usually like kickers. I had two cvr kickers hooked up and this one 13 is louder than both kickers. I sold my two kickers and ended up buying this sub with the planet audio ac1500.1m amp. And it hits. Even though it's still breaking in its pretty good. I already purchased another one today should get it on Tuesday. And I'm going to purchase another amp. So I will update in a few weeks when I hook both subs up. My only debate is if I should go with the another ac1500.1m or buy the ac3000.1d and run the subs off of one amp

Perfect for my '91 yota single cab

Perfect for my '91 yota single cab. Surprised me with the Nippon tubo8. Have it pushed with a planet audio ac1500.1m. And it can every bit of it. Does pretty dang impressive for what it is. I have always ran high end audio (RE, DD,Fi) when I was younger. But for this setup, small air and small sub was what I needed so if that's the boat your in, I highly reccomend this sub. Set your amp with a DMM and crank this beastly little sub up.

Seller replaced a defective model quickly, great subwoofer for the price!

5 Stars because they worked out the defective issues.

The first one that showed up was defective. The speaker coil rubbed badly, and the sound was nothing short of horrible. The sent me a new one, and it has been nothing but awesome! I'm running the sub as a parallel between the dual coil, and then to my 1200W 2-channel amp bridged. The base hits like no other. This subwoofer is certainly worth it's cost, and more!

Great replacement drivers.

I found an old M&K MX70 on eBay that has 2 8" woofer sin a push pull configuration, unfortunately, the surrounds were bad and after re-coning, the woofers were severely outdated. I needed 8 ohm drivers that had close T&S parameters and this fit the bill. Wired each sub for 8 ohms and swapped out the stock woofers. I was VERY pleasantly surprised how good they sound and even had to reduce the insulation because these need less space than the stock units.

I have a pair of Magnepans that are very revealing AND fast. It is very hard to find subwoofers to match it's speed. M&K's are one of the few that can do that. After replacing the tired Capacitors on the amp plate, the sub is better than new and can definitely go LOUDER. And because it is a sealed unit, it is very tight and controlled.

Eight 15s get loud!

These subs are made with very light duty materials. 1 or 2 may not suffice a true bass head. I have 8 of these 15s in a suburban. I built two 10 cu.ft. sealed boxes for them on a planet audio bb4000.1 amp and they get VERY loud. If u don't have room for a handful of them, then save your money for a more powerful sub.

Great speaker for $60. I mean REALLY, REALLY great speaker. But not definitely not a PRO quality speaker. Not even close.

This is a tough review to make.
First of all, I need to mention two things. One I have bought some 10 inch Planet Audios for cheap on Amazon and I love them. I really do. They are in my car and have a nice amp on them and they work amazing.

2nd, I did not buy these for a car, but to replace some PA speakers that blew. The price was great and I was hoping since these are dual voice, I could wire them to 8 ohm, which did work. I put a decent crossover in the box, but I was not really happy with the result. I did buy a much more expensive crossover and try it again, but was still not happy. That being said, these really are just meant for bass, nothing else. Meaning, they will not work well in a 2-way crossover over experience. you will need some full range speakers or a 3 way system.

I am putting more details below.

Pros:
Prime shipping (Amazing Prime rocks).
Great Price
Low Base
Nice packaging.
Visually, VERY nice looking speaker (really nice actually - both front and backside).
Heavy, Heavy magnet
Dual Voice Coils (can wire them 8 ohm, 4 ohm or 2 ohm).
Can handle (it says) a lot of power.
Amazon took car of my return concerns

Cons:
No mids, just bass. I mean, NONE. You still need a crossover, but still none.
They really suck power. You need a lot of power - without a lot power, they are not very loud.
You might really need to spend some time tweaking you sound out to make these work.
does not tell me the voice coil size (I am just curious)
flat sound (without mids, it is not very warm sounding).

This is not a pro or con.
I did learn, PA speakers, have flat stops (no bubble on the foam on outside of speaker). These were HUGE....

Big bang!

I bought the BB4000.1 monoblock amp and 8 AC12D subs for a budget build in my 4dr s10 blazer. I built a sealed box at 8cuft and it gets extremely loud. I play it hard daily with no issues. I broke the subs in at a 4 ohm load to the amp and later wired the system to 1 ohm. The 12s are very efficient and get LOUD and DEEP with just 250-300 watts each. At 1 ohm the BB4000.1 runs very cool to the touch and easily spanks those 12s without breaking a sweat, even during the summer heat (100°+). The AC15D subs are now available so I plan on getting 8 of those for my suburban build with the same amp. Keep it up Planet Audio!

October 9, 2016 Honestly...

Better than expected considering the price,

Don't expect sound quality from this thing but its output is impressive when ported in the correct box. Fun sub to play around with and the trim ring makes it look decent when installed. After trying a few the reliability can be spotty even with conservatively set gains (don't go over ~150W-180W RMS). Cone was not centered correctly on the last one I ordered making logo looked cocked when installed and basket is made out of the thinnest metal I've seen used on a sub. Still outpounds other subs costing twice the price while using less power.

Absolutely great! Definitely recommend!

I purchased 2 of these about 6 months ago, and they are still running great! They have great sound and bass, hit hard in the right box, and are a great price for how good they are! They arrived quickly and well packaged. They look very good mounted in the box. I've had so many systems, and built so many for other people, and these are the best 10 inch subwoofers I've ever bought for the price/ performance ratio. I highly recommend these subs.

Blown away!!

I was blown away by this subwoofer, for just 40$ you can't beat the price, I make Gas Station windows wobble, sounds excellent, when I first got the subwoofer I was also blown away by how it was built it, look like an expensive subwoofer, i would also recommend using a planet audio anarchy amp with these subs. Good job planet audio I am impressed for just 40$

Didn't fit well. Not the speaker's fault

Bought this speaker to replace the rear woofer on my 2001 suburban. I specifically chose this one because someone on YouTube used the same one in the same application and said it fit. Mine did not. It is too deep and hit the back of the box. I ended up using the spacer from the old speaker to move the speaker out about 3/4" which created the necessary clearance on the back but caused the speaker to contact the plastic grate on the panel that covers it.
None of the above is the speaker's fault and now that it is installed I decided to just leave it. It's way better than the rattle of the blown woofer. Overall good for the money. Hope it fits better in your application than mine.

Love them.

I bought two of these. Each for $26. I am very happy. I was not expecting a $200 speaker, but these definitely feel like $80 speakers. They work great. Super awesome.

This little sub really impressed me once I mounted it ...

This little sub really impressed me once I mounted it in a box with foam. It was on the tinny side outside of the box, but came alive with the right mounting. I haven't tried much power to drive it, and am only pushing it with a generic 100W amplifier. I'm looking to upgrade the power soon, and hope that it holds up!

LOUD ENOUGH

High quality subwoofer. Make sure you break it in properly. I am sending around one thousand watts to it, but then I don't blast it because my money paid for it. Plus, I don't like being disrespectful to my neighbors either.

Hit and miss on quality. On the fence if they are great or crap.

Installed 3 in a sealed enclosure and within 5 minutes 1 locked up and won't play anymore but other 2 still hit very hard, if it wasn't for the 1 locking up right away i would give 5+ stars. And in case anyone thinks i just don't know what i am doing i wired them in series parallel to 3 ohms at the amp. Amp of rated at 3000 watts RMS, no not some junk boss amp, and turned down to 500 watts rms per sub using multimeter. Been installing stereo systems for 20 years and never blown a speaker until this one.

**Updated**
After blowing first sub received a replacement sub from planet audio within a decent amount of time. Reinstalled sub and redialed amp to 600 watts RMS giving benifit of doubt was 1 bad sub. That was a mistake. Played for about 20 minutes and they sounded fine. Turned off system and after 20 minutes went to play again and all 3 were locked up now. Apparently they do not dissipate heat well since they froze after turning them off after playing hard for 20 minutes.

So final thought... If you need a cheap sub you plan on throwing less than 300 watts rms to then these are fine. Anything higher and these are not the subs for you.

Still stay with 3 stars. Good entry level cheap sub.

Fits 2002 Chevy Tahoe and Sounds Great With Factory Amp!

I purchased this subwoofer for my 2002 Chevy Tahoe with the non-bose system. I was pleasantly surprised to see that it actually fits without modifying the factory box. You do have to drill new holes for the screws to go in, but the basket fits in the opening, and the magnet does not bottom out in the small enclosure. I am currently running it from the factory amplifier and while it won't win any SPL contests, it does sound clear and hits the lows very very well. It's a very accurate subwoofer and downright fantastic when you factor in the price. I posted a video on youtube if you want to see how I did the install. It's titled 2000-2006 Tahoe Subwoofer Install. I attached a picture too, sorry for how blurry it is.

**Update** I have now been using this subwoofer for a few months and still absolutely love it! it sounds even better than it did when I first installed it. It seems to have warmed up a bit as it broke in. I have also now attached a video that outlines my installation in my 2002 Chevy Tahoe. I hope it's helpful.

Great value

Bought this and paired with planet audio anarchy 1500.1 amplifier running at an advertised 1100 watts rms, its great. Very rich lows, and is able to really produce volume. Reminds me of my old JL W3's. It's a great value system and I couldn't be happier.

Amazing subs if you know what your doing!

This subs are extremely good no kidding you can't do better for the price I own a car audio custom install shop called maximum audio and was just trying out a different brand and holy crap as long as your not stupid and put this on a 2 ohm stable amp it 4 ohm amp wired parallel or straight and also don't turn them up as soon as you get them they won't blow like every speaker on the market you can't just hook them up and slam them instantly when their brand new you have to break them in at the minimum 3 hours at low or med volume to get every thing warmed and broke in otherwise you will over heat the motor or voice cool and ruin them but after you break these guys in you won't believe the output I went from 1 8" in my comp show car for bass competitions to 8 8" subs and I can hit around 155 decibels of I built the correct boxes to do these subs perfect but still it's amazing what they can do highly recommend to anyone that know what to do!!

Powerful bass on a budget.

The AC12D subs are an excellent choice for your car. The bass is loud and deep with zero distortion. They have an elegant design and are affordable. They are rated with 1800 watts peak power and 900 RMS total power handling.

The enclosure specs do not require a lot of space and they can be installed in a ported or sealed box. The subs can be wired from 8 ohms to 2 ohms in a single sub or 4 ohms to 1 ohm with multiple sub-woofers. Would highly recommend this product.

planet audio 12" subwoofers

I used to have two 12" cvr kickers...blew those out.

I ordered these planet audio AC12D the other day came in two days like always ..If you don't have PRIME GET IT YO!.. but anyways back to these subs BRUUUH!!!

THEY BANGIN LOUDER THEN MY POPS CERWIN VEGAS WE BOTH GOT THE SAME 1200WATT PERFORMANCE TEKNIQUE AMP.

Don't let that cheap price full you because I only paid 50$ an the quality sounds better then my 300$ 12s so don't be scared if u don't believe me I'll have a youtube video up soon

Sound quality is great ..vibration is on point hits the lows clean af don't turn them all the way up until your sure you broke them in ..

Excellent for the price

Sounds excellent for the price, people who leave bad feedback on this product must expect a Kicker style speaker for 30.00. If you just need an inexpensive subwoofer that sounds good, this is perfect for the price. I'm using with a 300w amp turned 3/4 the way up sounds great.

Better than my old Pyle's

I had two Pyle 10inch subs and they gave out, rated 800w each, they were ok and played fine given i have a small car i dont need much to feel the car rattle. Anyways, those died in less than a year, and pyle is a pyle of S*** when it comes to costumer service, so i decided to get two of these planet audios....mind blown. Wired these puppies to my 2 channel old school kicker amp. Bass was never better. Way more punch than my old ones and pretty clear. im surprised they were pretty cheap. Lets see how long they last.
