    longmill are way better than boss!!! the 10" subs are great for ?35 ish!!!! the enclusure is a bit of an odd craft!! it should have a numder with it saying how many liters of air you want. and you make a box up to that spec. the kenwood catalouge has box sizes in it!! its a good ref

    Some longmill stuff is good, but there speciality is amps, not subs. They make superb spl amps, but some of there speakers head units etc can be abit poor. When you build an enclosure, follow the manufacturers guides on size etc, as all subs have different requirements. If you cant find it in a catalogue, try phoning them. Dont forget the most important part. Make sure you have the right type of enclosure, i.e sealed, or ported or free air. Get this wrong, and u might asweel just use your dash speakers!

    Whoopass! :D

    Its definately worth saving a little extra for a bigger brand name when it comes to subs. The build quality will be better, and they will last longer. Also there isnt that much difference in price.

    Whoopass! :D

    longmill are good for budget installs. infinity 10" are adout ?50 now so that would be better than a ?35 10" from lonmill. you can get kenny catalogues from most car audio shops

    you do know that you need to bed speakers in just like you do with brakes!!! you take it gently for about 1 month then you can start going progressively higher until you can get the most out of it!!!!
