Silver Member Username: SplsqChesterland , Ohio USA Post Number: 275 Registered: Mar-07 | well im selling my L5s on monday to a friend for 270 and i cant decide what to get next. Kevin said he would sell me 2 12inch RD studios for 210 shipped but i would still need a box thats one idea or should i buy 2 12inch Kicker CVRs and then have somebody on here build me a box for 150 or should i buy 2 12inch Kicker CVRs that are already in a ported box from CC. i cant decide what to do and im looking for SQL or SPL and the amp im using is a Hifoinics Zeus 600x1 300x2 |

Gold Member Username: CtmikeCt. Post Number: 4526 Registered: Feb-06 | i'd try the studios. |
|
Silver Member Username: SplsqChesterland , Ohio USA Post Number: 276 Registered: Mar-07 | will the studios get loud cause i dont want to miss the loudness of my L5s but i cant stand them anymore they just make noise. this is the box i would put them in http://www.hifisoundconnection.com/Shop/Control/Product/fp/vpid/2395161/vpcsid/0 /SFV/30046 |

Platinum Member Username: BestmankindLos Angeles, CA USA Post Number: 13292 Registered: Oct-05 | even though i haven't heard the studio series, i have a good feeling they will sound way better than the kicker subs. do it. that box looks half way decent btw. i am not a fan of prefab so don't expect me to say good things about them. |

Gold Member Username: CtmikeCt. Post Number: 4527 Registered: Feb-06 | x2^^. and even if you would go with the cvr's, they wont get louder then the l5 either. go with the rds', get away from that kicker cra_p imo. then you can change your name!j/p and that box doesn't look the nicest, get one made. nice little saying in the the box description though: "This makes our boxes a little more expensive but you truly do get what you pay for" makes me want to buy prefab^^. |
|
Silver Member Username: SplsqChesterland , Ohio USA Post Number: 277 Registered: Mar-07 | so u think i should go for the studios over the CVRs and put them in that box. thats what i was leaning towards but when i heard this kids subs at school he has the CVRs form CC and they slammed but maybe because they were in a Jeep Liberty idk. |
|
Platinum Member Username: BestmankindLos Angeles, CA USA Post Number: 13293 Registered: Oct-05 | here's the thing. the prefab boxes are usually tuned high. the studio series subs are more sq oriented i believe. putting those in a high tuned box would be wasting the sq imo. get a box made man. please. don't go cheap on the box cause it either makes or breaks the sound quality of the subs. |
|
Silver Member Username: SplsqChesterland , Ohio USA Post Number: 278 Registered: Mar-07 | i wont have enough money to get a box made i will only have a 90 left cause my mom wont let me spend more then 300 on everything so i mean unless i can get a box made for 90 shipped i have nothing else to do. |
|
Gold Member Username: CtmikeCt. Post Number: 4528 Registered: Feb-06 | save a little more then have someone here make you a box. logan could probably do a box for not much more than $90 shipped, from what i've seen of his quotes. |
|
Platinum Member Username: BestmankindLos Angeles, CA USA Post Number: 13294 Registered: Oct-05 | damn moms. i hate it when they do that. lol. why don't you save up some of your allowance then. don't tell your mom how much the box is going to cost you. |
|
Silver Member Username: SplsqChesterland , Ohio USA Post Number: 279 Registered: Mar-07 | hahaha allowance i dont get one i work at my job but i dont get to keep any of my money so im broke as sh1t so i mean 90 is all i will have. whats the difference between a prefab box and a custom one. other then tuning |

Gold Member Username: CenusHicksville, Ohio Post Number: 3228 Registered: Jan-05 | i have 2 15inch sealed boxes i'll sell ya cheap, not going to be the best but atleast you'll be bumpin untill you can get a better box. and i see your in ohio to so if your close to me you can come pick them up. |
|
Gold Member Username: CtmikeCt. Post Number: 4529 Registered: Feb-06 | quality, actually being built to subs specs, not a piece of crap. i'd talk to logan and see if he could hook you up. |
|
Gold Member Username: CenusHicksville, Ohio Post Number: 3229 Registered: Jan-05 | haha i just noticed you said 12's not 15's so disregard my last post. |
|
Silver Member Username: SplsqChesterland , Ohio USA Post Number: 280 Registered: Mar-07 | i was just talkting to my mom she dosnt want me to buy offline shes so this means i have to go to this local shop that is selling those CVRs in that ported box. but will they sound real bad im looking for SPL and i heard my friends and i think they sounded nice to so i mean i dont think they will be that bad. |
|
Gold Member Username: CtmikeCt. Post Number: 4530 Registered: Feb-06 | sound bad, yes. kicker boxes are tuned really high. and how much is that sub/box combo? cvr's are 2 for $149 shipped now. even at cc, same price. |
|
Silver Member Username: SplsqChesterland , Ohio USA Post Number: 281 Registered: Mar-07 | the combo is about 200 but i could get both with no box for 120 |
|
Gold Member Username: CtmikeCt. Post Number: 4531 Registered: Feb-06 | get both with no box then. that'll leave you plenty of money for a box. |
|
Silver Member Username: SplsqChesterland , Ohio USA Post Number: 282 Registered: Mar-07 | ok well i was talking to my mom again and she said i could buy a box offline but not the subs cause she is affraid they might be blown or wrong idk shes a mom but so u guys think i should just buy the 2 CVRs and then have someone on here make me a box for them or just by the combo so it has the box with it. |

Silver Member Username: TatonkaPost Number: 378 Registered: Mar-07 | Tell your mom that you are buying the subs brand new online and the cases where the sub did not work upon reciving were taken care of with a replacement. |
|
Gold Member Username: CtmikeCt. Post Number: 4533 Registered: Feb-06 | if you can get the subs bnib for $120 a pair, get them. that's really cheap and even online tuff to beat. as for box, get hold of bj (fishercustoms), phil (woodlawn), or logan. |
|
Silver Member Username: TatonkaPost Number: 379 Registered: Mar-07 | Or John Wheeler. Rofles. |
|
Gold Member Username: CtmikeCt. Post Number: 4534 Registered: Feb-06 | that's not his name anymore^^. but go with one of the ones' i suggested. think canaan makes boxes to. |
|
Platinum Member Username: BestmankindLos Angeles, CA USA Post Number: 13296 Registered: Oct-05 | don't get the cvr's. i've had them in my car and they aren't that great. convice your mom that kevin is a good guy and he doesn't sell anything that don't work. tell your mom only reason the sub you want can't be bought at the stores is cause the company is new. kevin has many references. you will wnat to change your subs quick if you get the cvr's. trust me. unless you are happy with mediocre sound. |
|
Gold Member Username: CtmikeCt. Post Number: 4536 Registered: Feb-06 | that's true^^^ i got a 15" cvr (only used it for a few months, needed something after selling my other 6 subs ) and it's not the best. ONLY get them if that's all you can do. |
|
Silver Member Username: SplsqChesterland , Ohio USA Post Number: 283 Registered: Mar-07 | ok well i talked to her showed her that he has a site and is a real store that sells stuff and she'll let me buy his stuff but now its back to the box dilema. |
|
Gold Member Username: CtmikeCt. Post Number: 4538 Registered: Feb-06 | again, email the people i suggested and get a quote. |
|
Platinum Member Username: BestmankindLos Angeles, CA USA Post Number: 13300 Registered: Oct-05 | tell your mom its like getting a kitchen cabinet. would she rather just go to home depot and buy one that is already made or have someone build one perfect for her kitchen. |

Silver Member Username: TatonkaPost Number: 382 Registered: Mar-07 | L5 Bangin, I don't have many soources around here but I do alot of wood work. I've built boxes for my friends around here for $50 even just because i enjoy doing it. If all else fails, I'll show you some pics of my work and i could do it for $80 shipped. I know how it feels to be just a little short and having no more options. |
