Thoughts on This Sub?

I've been really thinking about getting a subwoofer. I really want a powered system for the ease of install. I really like Kickers and 12" subs, so this seemed really nice. I'm just a little worried about the 90 watt amp. What're your thoughts?

Anybody? I know the powered mtx is popular but I'd rather have a 12" sub

I currently have this Infinity Basslink 10" and it has plenty of hit and tone for my 06 convertible and even when the top is down. It's not that big and fits in the trunk quite nicely, it comes with thes stands that you mount to the bottom and could even be drilled into the floor for a super secure fit, it has an amp already on it and a remote line that can raise or lower the amount of bass at any moment with the turn of a dial. I've been pleased with it so far and have had no problems so far except for a few grounding issues when it was fist installed

Ps. Forgot to mention it has a passive radiator, (two subs that run opposite of each other) I've had my dad explain to me what this does multiple times and still don't quite understand but it sounds nice non the less.

Thanks for the responses guys! I really like the look of this sub, aesthetics is very important to me. Does anybody else have an opinion?

A passive radiator is a speaker without the magnet, servo etc, just a cone.
It sits directly behind the active speaker, in a sealed box, the active speakers action causes a reaction on the passive speaker. Making it sound like a bigger speaker.

Its a good application for smaller designs.

I have the Basslink, and it's just fine in a MINI!!!

$165 @ Amazon.

Same here. Tapped into the factory lines in the kick panel.

Very happy with the results.
