I bought these babies a few years ago on a shopping spree I had with the check ICBC gave me for my old 87 Firebird that I ran through a K-Car......I bought 2 10" AND 2 12" USA COMP Dr. Crankensteins and a 2x50W AND a 4x50W Precision Power Amplifiers to drive them....the subs were $400 EA and $600 EA respectively.....I HAVE NEVER USED THE 12's !!!! THEY ARE BRAND FUCKING NEW.....I put the 10's in my new firebird in a bandpass box and decided that if I ever put the 12's in I would have to be declared legally deaf.....the 12's alone are rated at 136Db or so for the pair running together as per specs.....Give me an offer....Parting out 88 FIREBIRD FORMULA and selling these to buy a civic cx (DAMN GAS IS CHEAP THESE DAYS AIN'T IT?)

EMAIL ONLY PLEASE

This was the manufactured specs for a 2x12" Setup....Don't ask me anything further about that cause I only have that from the day I looked at the sheets that came in the box......make no joke...these subs will pump power if fed correctly....I was giving my 10"'s 100W RMS EA and they were checked by A&B sound to produce 108Db while in my 88Firebird in a bandpass box mounted above the gastank behind the rear seat.....

And now that I've said that much....it occurrs to me...you do know what Db's are eh? Thats not what you were asking was it?

I know what db's are and I've never heard of a sub rated in db's

I'm confused because produced db will change drasticly depending on box, speaker config. and whats driving it,

also the vehicle will effect db

Do these have the emblems or flat balck. I have 2 now and would be interested if the price is right.

I've had crankenstiens in the past
and was very impressed with the output

Hey, just pulled them out of the closet...gave em a wipe....noticed one cone has MINOR damage which would NOT EFFECT OUTPUT.....Just a couple crease marks on the inner cone flattop thing(Where most emblems would go on subs) No rips, tears, scratches, nothing.....speaks are 12's, magnets are like 9 1/2"x2" weigh about 40lbs EA maybe 50lbs......Like I said, I paid $1200 new for the pair...I'm looking for a bill fifty for them....Gotta try and get SOMETHING out of them haha, keeping the tens though so I'm good...

sensitivity is rated in dbs but definitely will be nowhere near 130 db @ 1w/1m

2 10s doing 108 dbs is less than stock output btw

He could be talking about the optimal box design in an anechoic chamber.

Well I know FOR SURE that I used to show off the Crank 10's by pumping bass tracks and standing outside the car in front of the open door and my pants would be flapping around about 2-3"'s either way from the pressure from inside the car....the 10's kicked fucking ass...why do you think I NEVER EVEN USED the 12's? Fuck...A fiberglass tub is only worth like $600 from Audio Video....$1000 if you want it DONE OUT with custom amp rack and everything...And thats what I WAS going to do for the twelves....But like I said...never got around to it...the ten's were overkill enough for the years I've had all these subs....
