The PA Gothic is a decent sub as long as it's used within it's capabilities, the 2.5" coil is enough of a clue for someone that knowledgeable with car audio, typically there good for 6-700wrms tops, if used in that wattage range you will get good service for years, also it's a smaller sized motor and coil with a light suspension so it doesn't need much wattage to get loud. You are right A 600 to 800w amp for 1 and 2 a 1000 to 1200w amp will push it just fine enough to get good thump in any vehicle and typically with a lower power sub your best off with 2 that would give you really respectful bump. A lot of people would be surprised how loud you can get on a true 1200w amp. My son has my old system which is 2 XR15s on a pioneer gm1200.1 and he's well into the 140dbs on music in a Tahoe, it's not as much as my system but that 40s is decent bump. My system is bit more violent but I have way more money his system could be duplicated for $650 plus $150+/- home built 8cf mdf ported. enclosure.

Surround quality and cone is kind of impressive. Good thickness and sewn in… I bought a one .. a single voice coil not dual.. a couple years back but just been sitting in spare cars trunk. Never really have played it.. but not bad with another power bass 12… around the same wattage but PA speaker looks built a little better from cone and surround.

The Gothics and mofos are actually pretty good. They will absolutely take 1200w, you have to understand how an amp works with music frequencies. So in that demo your amp and that sub would play in the 2-7ohm range, it mighta seen 2k at a given point but prob averaged 500-1000watts. You could run two of those off that bass 3K an bump it.

For the price you won't find a better sub, and I've pushed 1200 watts to one of them everyday for months no issue

Your box is half the size it’s supposed to be tho. Supposed to be 2.5 cubed. You have like 1 sq foot in that box. I have 2 in their own recommended 2.5 cubed boxes and it flexes my truck. I didn’t want to put them in the same box cause I like to move them around depending on what I’m doin and need, but it’s insane. The 2 boxes legit take up my whole ass crew cab and will vibrate your brain along with everything else. The vibration opened my tool box on the highway and I had to pull over so now I have a bike chain wrapped around it lmao

I got 5 of these lol. 2 subs pair razor amp. The 5th one is a spare on standby. They hit just right but someone told me to run each sub on its own razor amp. Sounds like a good idea but the 2 batteries i have wont be enough for 4 of them wired separately

daaaaaammmnn that shit slams

I have this sub hooked up to a kicker 300 bout to get a new deaf bonce 2100 AAP I hope it helps out for now till I need more #basshead 😂

Treated me good my skar is a beast tho! I’m rebuilding them just waiting on my coils. No bullshit! Use Skar 2000watt amp

In order for this test to be legit you have to show real time rms power & clip indicator, at least!

I ran 1 of these in my apartment at penn state and got a good bit of compliments lol

Gothics give a huge bang for your buck IF you put them in large boxes. Otherwise they will be ok at best

I like the 1st gen Gothics better.....all black... Will take every bit of 1.5k rms...smell will wear off

Did you break it in or straight to text

Called a warranty card so if any thing goes wrong they will replace it or give you your money back

Decent

I have 2 of these with the 2500 watt amp that it recommends, and it slaps.

ive got two on a 5000 watt amp. and lwt me tell you

Fun video. That cheap spider would not last a year, especially when it starts to clip like that. Lanzar, Pyle, Pyle Pro, Legacy Epsilon Electronics: Power Acoustic, Precision Power, Farenheit, Soundstream, Kole, Pyramid on and on are all manufactured in the same factory, with the same components. Always spend the extra 100 dollars and get a pioneer D series or JL audio.

Good subwoofer for the price

Just curious, was the sub crossed over? Sounded like it was playing alot that it didnt need to.

Everyone be tripping. There is no need to” break in” a sub. They’ll break in as you use it and get louder.

Slapz

i have them on a 5k amp and takes it like nothing

21 more likes till we can see it get smoked

lmao please bro I got one an I couldn't blow mine with 6k

That box is junk!!! I had mine running on an rp2000 in a 5cf box it was actually hitting good. Yeah it got hot but I was running 1600 rms but it got down. If you had a better box it would hit...... the box is too small and tuned way too high...

on the next video shove a shirt in the port

you think two of these could handle a rp-2000

I love how you're so skeptical of something you have absolutely no idea about in the beginning. Not everyone can get what is considered a good quality sub right off of the bat not everyone has those means a job to get them or parents that give you an allowance to get them.
