Ok so it's time to decide on subs...

[Nick]

I think I'm going to go kicker(hate on me all you want but i get this crap super cheap off so save your whinig) this time around and here was a few options i was looking at:

2 Kicker CVX 12's (1500RMS) -all combined
2 Kicker CVX 15's (2000RMS)
2 Kicker L7 12's (1500RMS)
2 Kicker L7 15's (2000RMS)
1 Kicker SoloX 12 (2500RMS)

2 (or 3)Alpine Type R 12's (1200-1800RMS)

A custom box will be built for the R's, CVX's, or either 15's. I would get the pre-fab loaded Kicker box if I went with the 2 L7 12's.

I really want the Alpine M-2000 but I can't get it cheap ):

I really really really want my Alpine Type X 12's I had in my Silverado back, but how would these subs compare to CVX's?

I had L7's before, but they were the 05 model before they were redesigned and i really didn't like em. I listen to ALL kinds of music. Acoustic, screamo, rock, alternative, pop, R&B, blues, rap, country, etc.

One more question, is it true that circular subs have better sound quality compared to square subs?

Look at the solo classics, I love my 12s and they take up very little area in the back. I'm running a 1000.1 on them and they are plenty loud for what I need, sets off alarms and hits quick. They're some of the best subs I've ever owned and sound awesome.

i love my cvx's

if you want small sealed, good SQ, the Solo Classics would be good. The CVX is similar, but for a good Q, they need a slightly larger box, like Solo Classic .88 vs. 12" CVX 1.25. So minimal.

wow, 05 L7's , theyhave been really changed since then...

 

[Nick]

I don't care about room. I will have no 3rd row so I don't care. Soloclassics are better than cvr's and not as good as cvx 's right?

 

[TnTahoe]

i here cvx are basically the same as the L7s, L7s just have a lil more cone area

 

[Max]

Classics sound better if you're doing sealed, if you want big spl do some ported cvxs. My solo classics sound better than sealed cvxs and seem to hit quicker but that is probably due to the smaller enclosure.

 

[Nick]

Cvx it is...I get the 15's only $30 more than the 12's. Which one now? Lol

 

[Max]

Since you like music other than rap, go 12s

 

[TnTahoe]

I prefer 12s over 15s, thats just my opinion and they hit faster

 

[blueflamed03]

CVX 12's

 

[Sir-Lancelot]

I respect your opinion, but that is simply not true.
My 18'***** just as fast as anything you care to compare them to.
It is install and driver dependent, woofer size makes no difference.

I am not trying to change your opinion, just stating my personal experience.

CVX 12's

Yes kicker master, yes. Ok So i have a question for you, why don't they make a loaded enclosure for CVX's? They make them for Comp's, CVR's, L5, L7, Classic. But not CVX? I can understand not the soloX but...

 

[blueflamed03]

we actually did, the truck TCVX10", vented VCVX 10" and 12", just with Solo Classic, we felt no need to add Comp, CVR, SC, L5 and L7, so we left CVX for 2010 as seperate woofers only.

What was the point in adding the solo classic? It's better than the CVR and not as good as the CVX right?

the two 12" L7s. my friend has them and the bang like a mofo.

the Solo Classic is a step up from CVX, small sealed woofer like the original A series back in the late 90's.

Then why is the RMS less?? So i should see better bass out of a classic? Keep in mind I will be running a somewhat decent size ported box.

and the Classic 12's are $100 less than CVX 12's? Doesn't make sense.

 

[Nick]

...blueflamed03?

 

[Max]

DO NOT put the solo classics in a ported box, they're meant for small sealed only. I have the gain under half on my 1000.1 with good signal voltage and they have yet to distort on me, just get louder and louder. The CVX 12s are great ported tho, just depends on what you're trying to accomplish.
