Alright! The subs are installed. It's a bit too much boom, even for me. 😅 It's here!

Indeed. Everyone here speaks very highly of NVX. It was tempting but the kickers just look higher quality to me. Plus nobody was answering and I wasn't 100% sure on the specs vs my amp. I'm excited to get my box next and get these in my bronco. Thanks everyone! 😀

That's true. The matching brands is just a bonus. There's no other speaker I've found that matches specs to my amp exactly, and being the same brand it seems like a safe choice. 😁

FYI, even with the price increase, I went with the Kicker 42CWQ122 to stick with matching brands and perfectly matched specs to my amp.

I know this is a little apples to oranges, but looking for some opinions. My amp is the Kicker CXA1800.1. It's 1800w RMS and 3600w peak @ 2ohms. I don't have a box yet but it will either be a dual ported 10" or dual ported 12" depending on which sub I go with. I was originally aiming for two...

Ahhh, I had it in my head that it was 1 ohm stable for some reason.

I appreciate the new posts but I'm really just asking the questions in my most recent response :)

Hi! It's me again. I bet you're wondering how I got in this position... lol So, I've had the Kicker CXA1800.1 sitting in my office for 2 months. I'm about to make my purchase on subs and a box. I was searching the internet just in case.... I didnt want to miss any options. And I came across...

Sorry, I typed that earlier. The CXA1800.1 is in my possession now Of course, now yall got me worried about power draw. :)

So, I found a good deal on a CXA1800.1 locally. It's in great shape and the guy is a car audio enthusiast, he even kept the box. I'm gonna pick that up for cheaper than a new CXA1200.1. I'll probably pair it with the dual L7S enclosure, even though it puts the total out of my budget. I'll just...

Ok, and this is a wild question, but... I want to be able to pull the subs out for a conversion between beach cruiser/ daily driver and road tripper that needs cargo space. I'm thinking I'm going to mount my amp behind my sidewall, add a terminal on the wall, use banana plugs on my speaker...

I'm probably going to stay kicker, but I have a question. Two Kicker L7S or One Kicker L7R?

Thanks for the detailed links! Gives me a lot to think about. I do love Polk. I had some Polk 10s and mids/highs in an older build and they sounded fantastic and never gave me issues. Obviously you wouldn't recommend CT if you didn't believe in them, but whats their story? Mid level comparable...

The higher end NVX subs look great, but I'm worried about the power draw. Not only does it put me over budget but I don't wanna murder my alternator. lol

being a numbers nerd, I'm working on a spreadsheet with some options based on feedback here and my own exploration. The PPI subs look like *** so don't mind that tab. Cant find any feedback on them, but figured if the amps were recommended... Totally Nerdy Bronco Priceout Spreadsheet
