Kicker 15"?
|
Bronze Member Username: Woofers4lifePost Number: 19 Registered: Mar-09 | ok i have been looking around and im wondering what you guys think about the kicker 15" CompVR CVR152? my cousin has 2 12" kickers and it hits harder than most 15s i have ever heard and he is gonna help me with the installation. im leaning toward a sealed box but what would be best for these subs? what would be a good amp to put along with these subs aswell? |
|
Gold Member Username: BasssquaredKansas Post Number: 2525 Registered: Nov-06 | those are ok subs you can find better for the money but if your set on those subs a nice ported box would be best forget sealed unless your looking for SQ and if you are the cvr isn't the best candidate for that i'd go with 3-4 cubes ported at 35-38hz on 500 watt rms would be nice |
|
Bronze Member Username: Woofers4lifePost Number: 20 Registered: Mar-09 | im not set its just the most promising to me so far since i have seen some many kickers and 99% of them sounded great. i have enough room in the ext cab part of my truck for 7.62 cu. ft if i make a box that fits perfectly so i have plennnty of space for a box. With ported box i have never really had any luck. so i would need info on this please. well these are the ones i have my eye on Audiobahn AW152T MA Audio MA151XQ Diamond Audio D315D4(these look the best imo) |

Gold Member Username: BasssquaredKansas Post Number: 2528 Registered: Nov-06 | crap crap and the diamonds are actually decent but you can still do better well answer these questions and i'll be able to better help you whats your budget for subs, amp, do you want to stay under 1.5 k rms to keep your stock electrical what are your goals for the system SPL? SQ or a mixture of the both? |
|
Bronze Member Username: Woofers4lifePost Number: 21 Registered: Mar-09 | my budget is no more than 600-700. Im going to add a battery(optima red top) and if i need to get a custom alt built at a shop. SPL!! lol my goal is just to be loud and try to keep up with my cousin who is gettin 4 12s because i told him i was gettin 15s ERRR lol. im just tryin to get good suggestions so i can get good quality equipment for my birthday here in about a month lolz. |
|
Gold Member Username: BasssquaredKansas Post Number: 2529 Registered: Nov-06 | well with that budget you'll probably want to keep your stock electrical i would suggest going with an AQ1200d amp and an AQHDC315 that would be a really good setup in a ported box for that budget that setup is gonna be hard to beat look up the stuff at www.audioque.com |
|
Bronze Member Username: Woofers4lifeLexington, Tennessee Post Number: 22 Registered: Mar-09 | ok another idea i just wanna throw out if im going with a one sub set up what about an 18? |
|
Gold Member Username: BasssquaredKansas Post Number: 2530 Registered: Nov-06 | i'm speaking from personal experience i wouldn't go with an 18 in a car its really hard to give it the space it needs while still design the enclosure in a way that lets teh subwoofer perform to its potential the biggest i would do is a 15" |
|
Bronze Member Username: Woofers4lifeLexington, Tennessee Post Number: 23 Registered: Mar-09 | i drive an ext cab truck, there is a guy in my town that has one 18in kicker solo x in a silverado and he is shaking his bumpers off lol. would it not sound good in a ext S10? i mean 4 18s in a s10 is doable i seen it on youtube. but i dont want 4 lol maybe two in time. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yNDj9N9C0Vk ^ looks LOUD lol |
|
Gold Member Username: BasssquaredKansas Post Number: 2531 Registered: Nov-06 | well P.Rick on this forum has an 18" BTL in his ford Ranger so its probably doable i just thought you had a car but yeah that would work fine if you want to go with an 18" |
|
Bronze Member Username: Woofers4lifeLexington, Tennessee Post Number: 24 Registered: Mar-09 | would the same amp still be useable since its the same wattage and how would you wire it? |
|
Gold Member Username: Hittin1TEAM REVOLUTIONLake Charles... Post Number: 2873 Registered: May-07 | If that is the power range that you want to run, then you can get 2 Alpine Type -r's for about the same price on ebay. they are a better sub all the way around imo. but the CVR's are not bad for the price. so long as you get em online and not at a local shop.. They are usually over priced at local shops, but then again I don't know what your local shops charge for em. What is your budget for subs, amp, box? what amp/ power are you wanting to run? What vehicle are these going in? can you build your own box? |
|
Gold Member Username: Hittin1TEAM REVOLUTIONLake Charles... Post Number: 2874 Registered: May-07 | wow, apparntly i had this page open for a while. It only had 2 posts in it, so I thought. lol |
|
Bronze Member Username: Woofers4lifeLexington, Tennessee Post Number: 25 Registered: Mar-09 | lol what do you think about the 18in then mark? |
|
Gold Member Username: Hittin1TEAM REVOLUTIONLake Charles... Post Number: 2875 Registered: May-07 | i have 3 18's (RD Audio Alphas-- V.2 )for sale, but they require 1500-2000 wrms each to really shine. you would need to give up the back seats and get a HO alt and a couple of batts to properly run the amp that would be needed for them. |
|
Bronze Member Username: Woofers4lifeLexington, Tennessee Post Number: 26 Registered: Mar-09 | yea thats a little extreme for me right now im only looking to be running on stock till i get another job then ill go crazy 2 18in subs is about as far as im gonna push it but the problem is the amps to push that much wattage. i can get batteries and an alt but the cost is the problem. lol |
|
Gold Member Username: BasssquaredKansas Post Number: 2532 Registered: Nov-06 | well the 18" audioque HDC3 would work if you got a dual 2 ohm sub and wired it in parallel and got the 1200d you could also buy one of Marks 18"s and run it on the 1200d and upgrade to a bigger amp when you have money to upgrade your electrical but either way there both good subs |
|
Gold Member Username: Hittin1TEAM REVOLUTIONLake Charles... Post Number: 2878 Registered: May-07 | i didn't mean that you needed all 3.. lol. i have only ran 2 for that matter. 1 is still plenty loud. but that amp is not really enough, but it would do iight. The AQ HDC3 would work on that amp if you get the dual 2 ohm and wire it in series. |
|
Gold Member Username: Hittin1TEAM REVOLUTIONLake Charles... Post Number: 2879 Registered: May-07 | and honestly, i would charge more for 1 of my 18's than Audiogue charges for theirs. by about 20 bux or so. |
|
Gold Member Username: BasssquaredKansas Post Number: 2533 Registered: Nov-06 | dont you mean parallel Mark? if he wired it in series it would be at 4 ohms he needs to wire it in parallel so it drops to 1 ohm and gets all the power from that amp |
|
Gold Member Username: Hittin1TEAM REVOLUTIONLake Charles... Post Number: 2881 Registered: May-07 | ummmm look at the amp he is running. he said 940 watts at 4 ohm.. okay. ima post this even though I have found the error.
now HAD this dude actually owned this amp OR HAD I not been drunk/high, ect. I would have noticed that this is a different thread. Kiddo's stay away from drugs. lol Anywho... My bad. parallel for the AQ1200. lol side note you can go buy the MTX amp mentioned above, so I can be correct. -_- |
|
Gold Member Username: BasssquaredKansas Post Number: 2534 Registered: Nov-06 | lol good times good times so yeah bud the 18"HDC3 with the AQ1200d wired in parallel would work just fine |
|
Bronze Member Username: Woofers4lifeLexington, Tennessee Post Number: 27 Registered: Mar-09 | is the AQ 1200d 1 ohm stable? i got one 15 on a 760 watt amp wired to 1ohm and that baby gets HOT lol. |
|
Gold Member Username: Big_edge_headMilwaukee, WI Post Number: 3684 Registered: Mar-07 | Yeah, the AQ1200D is stable at 1 ohm. |
|
Bronze Member Username: Woofers4lifeLexington, Tennessee Post Number: 28 Registered: Mar-09 | ok now heres another question how would i build the box to make that 18 sound good? Ported? tuned to what? |
|
Gold Member Username: Hittin1TEAM REVOLUTIONLake Charles... Post Number: 2884 Registered: May-07 | They have all of that info on their site. You will only need to run a 4 ga. wire kit for that amp and it does what power that it claims and shouldn't get too hot. One of, if not the best bargain in car audio(AQ1200). www.audioque.com |
|
Bronze Member Username: Woofers4lifeLexington, Tennessee Post Number: 29 Registered: Mar-09 | ok got ya i got a 200 watt amp im running to my 6 1/2 door speakers can i run the dash 6 x 9s to the amp and it not be too far spread? |
|
Gold Member Username: Hittin1TEAM REVOLUTIONLake Charles... Post Number: 2886 Registered: May-07 | i thought that was already established. The 18 will wang. I do also have an 18" Rd Audio Alpha v.2. here are a few links: Alpha V.2 The newly redesigned Alpha series subwoofer has set the bar for SQL subwoofers. The V.2 offers more X-max, increased thermal power handling with cleaner more authoritative low bass extension than the V.1. Like the original Alpha the V.2 sounds great while delivering huge SPL numbers. Features Available in 12/15/18" models 1500/2000 watts RMS power handling Available in dual two ohm configurations (replace third feature down) Extremely versatile subwoofer that can be used in SPL applications or sound quality installs Flat wind voice coil option is available in both dual 1 and dual 2 ohm at a slightly higher cost, It increases the RMS power handling by 500 watts while also increasing the subwoofers efficiency Paper cone that is heavily damped with long strand Kevlar fibers Wide roll three layer surround foam Dual 1" tall high power 120oz magnets High excursion motor structure Hot forged 25mm deep t-yoke Spider bolted to basket Cast basket High temperature CA glue Black anodized aluminum former Flat wind coil option available at higher cost, adds 500 watts power handling MSRP 12" = $479.00 15" = $559.00 18" = $659.00 http://www.rdaudio.net/alpha/alpha.htm I only have 1 left... The other two are spoken for. ~325 + shipping it will work with the AQ1200 or if you really want to get loud, try the AQ2200. It likes 5.5-6 ^3ft tuned to 35 hz. It had no problem hittin' the LOWS and the uppers are amazing. <object><param></param><param></param><param></param><embed></embed></object> <object><param></param><param></param><param></param><embed></embed></object> the song was 5 hz higher than I needed^^ <object><param></param><param></param><param></param><embed></embed></object> ^^ vehicle off (alt went out on the way to show lol) Hope the embeds work. |

Silver Member Username: M0nstarToledo, OH U.S. Post Number: 217 Registered: Dec-08 | ok the last thing i read was about your cousin getting 4 12s. depending on what kind of 12s he's getting, if you were to stick with those 15" CVRs (that is if you don't have the $$$ for 18s) and get a kicker zx1000 and a properly made ported box you'd PROBABLY be louder than him. i used to do dumb shitttttt and i put 2 12" cvrs (kicker pre-made ported) in my back seat and 4 JL 12s(sealed) in my trunk. it got real loud, but i have 2 15" CVRs right now, and they get way louder(plus i made this box right and have a WAY better amp for them). but if you have the $$$ deff. get the 18s and F*c* kicker. |
|
Bronze Member Username: Woofers4lifeLexington, Tennessee Post Number: 35 Registered: Mar-09 | lol im getting it i talk my parents into gettin so it saves me $$$$!!! yes! but my money will go to a good amp now. |

Bronze Member Username: Woofers4lifeLexington, Tennessee Post Number: 36 Registered: Mar-09 | the AQ 18in i tried to get them to buy the Alpha V.2 but i couldnt get them to go for them. |
|
Gold Member Username: Hittin1TEAM REVOLUTIONLake Charles... Post Number: 2900 Registered: May-07 | how much are they gonna end up spending on the AQ HDC3? We may b e able to work out a lil deal.. If you are set on the AQ, then that's cool, but the ALPHA sub WILL get louder and sound better. Plus it can take more power if you ever want to upgrade... I am not in a hurry to get rid of it, so just let me know if you are interested. L8r |

Silver Member Username: M0nstarToledo, OH U.S. Post Number: 222 Registered: Dec-08 | Mark- 8 tweets! oh my!!! i have 4 run at ear level one by each seat and i thought i was screamin! |
