"Good" depends on what your goals are. Loud, sound quality or a little both.

Subs: They sound alright. I'm not sure how durable the cone and surround will be for years to come. Most surrounds are rubber I believe. The tuning of the box will also matter on it sounds.

If the impedance of the box (both subs together) is 4 ohms, and the subs can handle 400watts rms each, then they will be underpowered. IF 400 is the peak rating and the rms is 200 (usually its half the peak) AND the subs can be wired together at 2 ohms then its ok but still wouldn't be great.

I would suggest saving your money and putting it towards a better system because I think you will be disappointed with this. This stuff may not last long either.

Did you find this on the deep discount?
