Great shallow mount subwoofer
Bought this cause I needed a shallow mount subwoofer to fit in a shallow box in a truck. Sub seems well made has good quality speaker push terminals. Sounds good for a shallow mount sub. Only 200 watts RMS but that's all I needed. Good quality subwoofer.

MB QUART SUB WOOFERS
I love these MB Quart subwoofers; they have deep and very tight bass.

Excellent for the price
For the price I doubt you can even match this sub. It’s not a sound quality sub. I’d used used JL audio, Sony, MTX, Polk, Audiobahn, and now MB Quart which used to be amazing in the 90’s. This sub isn’t “musical” not very tight, but that can definitely be at least partially my factory amp (2019 Golf R) causing that. With the recommended .65 cu ft box the sub favors 60-80Hz and basically falls on its face below 50Hz. I put it in a box I have that’s .81 cu ft and it sounds considerably better, peaking at around 35Hz. I’m out of wood, but I’d imagine .75 cu ft with some polyfill would be great. It fits in a 4” tall box built from 3/4” MDF. It’s the only 10” subwoofer that I could find that was less than 3” mounting depth. If you have a Golf R without a spare tire do yourself a huge favor and get one of these. Even though it’s dual 4 ohm coils rather than 2 ohm coils the amp runs it great. I’ve lost zero usable space and have bass down to about 25hz now.

Great shallow subwoofer at ANY price point!
I have this running in a small box for a 2012 Chevrolet Silverado Extended Cab truck. I used a generous amount of poly-fil and the box is tiny as it is (appx 1.6cft). I have an MB Quart mono Class A/B amplifier rated at 400W max running this subwoofer at 2ohms. It has a remarkably deep sound considering that it is so shallow. I would like to be clear, this is NOT a replacement for a JL W7 but in this group of woofers at ANY price point this thing is worth every penny. If it lasts several months it would be worth purchasing another should it fail. I cannot adequately express how pleasantly surprised I have been since the installation of this speaker. I paid for it with my money, no promotion or gift and I will gladly do so again should that become necessary.

Sounds great and stands up to PNW outdoor environments
I mounted a custom depth sealed box in a soffit rafter bay and have had this 10" MB Quart exposed to the exterior (albeit sheltered overhang) for over 6 years. I just pulled it off to prep for painting and it is still like new. Love MB Quart quality. Can't wait to get it back in for the patio sound system.

Worth every penny. Sounds great. Looks great.
I could not be happier with this woofer. I put it into a 1 cubic foot box and it sounds great. I am going to add a bunch of poly fil and a couple of wood blocks to reduce the cu ft volume down to about .7-.8 cu ft. This is merely personal choices. Perfectly deep enough. Amole boom for the buck. Has a MUCH DEEPER bass response than I could’ve ever imagined out of a 10” woofer. Much less a SHALLOW 10” woofer.

Good quality and great BOOM for the money
Don't let the low price fool you. This sub may be made in C***a but the German brand name is definitely not an off-brand after-thought. They are no booming window shakers and, in spite of their low shallow mount box requirement, they do "speak" with authority when paired with the right amp. My only minor regret was not choosing the 12", instead of the 10", version but space in my small car was of high priority so I'm quite happy.

Poor quality
Very cheaply made installed yesterday today the coil burnt, gains set very low as the speaker are new and haven't even been broken in yet , do not recommend and I really had high hopes for this speaker total let down

EDIT: it's July 2022 and I'm STILL loving this sub. Absolutely recommend it to anyone. I play a lot of dance music and I play it loud in my X5. Only because the system I have in (JL C2-600 and Memphis mid range, factory DSP amp) can handle it well. I don't even know if the sub enclosure I made is proper dimensions but I did put a decent bit of polyfibre inside to mimic a larger enclosure. Either way I have NO doubt how well this sub just pounds in my SUV. Just incredibly happy with result. Original: I've run external sub enclosures with high power 10* and 12" (Premiere Comp, Rockford Fosgate, JL) subs for past 25 years. They are amazing. Whats NOT amazing is loosing a lot of trunk space. My SUV has factory Sub enclosure hidden away but has two 6" DVC subs that were either underpowered from the factory amp, or just garbage. I gutted the enclosure and modified it to take a single 10" shallow mount, knowing full well I'd never get the same sound as a larger external sub enclosure in a trunk BUT I now have the convenience of a sub hidden away. After I installed and adjusted audio settings on amp and factory head unit, yes it sounds a LITTLE less impressive than the subs and sub enclosures I've run in the past but the impression is it sounds about 90% as good, but is a cleaner sub so my music actually sounds cleaner and fuller instead of just bassier. But most importantly, the sub and enclosure are now out of trunk, So extremely worth this purchase.

Have been an MB Quart fan since the 1990's. Exceptional product! Exceptional sound quality as always! Working on getting the remaining component speakers for the rest of my car!

Installed it behind the seat of a megacab Running a 380 rms hertz amp and I enjoy the bass! Definitely worth every penny. It has been only a couple off weeks and it still sounds great

I was worried that this small sub wouldn't provide adequate bass. Was I ever wrong! I used to have two 12'' 1000w subwoofers in my trunk, but I got tired of the massive amount of trunk space I was missing. I wanted to rather downsize to a single small sub. This sub of course isn't as loud, but it's more than enough bass for me and I'm sure for 99% of people. It pounds loud, and will still shake stuff around. On basis of size, this thing is tiny. My other subs were much, much larger behind and would never have fit inside the box I stuck this inside of. I honestly don't think there's a box this thing wouldn't fit in.
