Post Number: 556 Registered: Sep-05 | i was thinking about getting a Kicker CVR, i want a good thump but a good clean sound, i was debating grabbing an MBQuart Premuim woofer, they get high reguards when it comes to sound quality but not to high on the Thump factor. |

Gold Member Username: 420alldaylongPost Number: 3330 Registered: Sep-06 | Damn dude I thought you were on a tight budget but anyways check these subs AudioQue-SD2.5 Diamond-D6 Eclipse-SW7200 Fi-SSD Which ever sub you decide on make sure that the box you go with is built for that sub. Or you could build your box itss not hard to do.Good Luck Ascendant Audio-Arsenal |
