[QUOTE="TeoTorriatte, post: 4339495, member: 571999"] Exactly Don't allow yourself to be spoon-fed by Kicker's marketing department -- think for yourself and download the owner's manuals and look at the T/S parameters... CVR: [URL="http://www.kicker.com/06/tech-support/manuals/manuals/2007/2007%20CompVR%20Sub%20c01%20Web.pdf"]http://www.kicker.com/06/tech-support/manuals/manuals/2007/2007%20CompVR%20Sub%20c01%20Web.pdf[/URL] (page 2) CVX: [URL="http://www.kicker.com/06/tech-support/manuals/manuals/2006/2006%20CVX%20Sub%20a01%20WEB.pdf"]http://www.kicker.com/06/tech-support/manuals/manuals/2006/2006%20CVX%20Sub%20a01%20WEB.pdf[/URL] (page 2) Basic CVR Specs: Vas: 3.37 cu ft Qts: .556 Fs: 26.1 Basic CVX Specs: Vas: 2.3 cu ft Qts: .36 Fs: 26.4 Without running these specs through WinISD or BassBox, I can already tell you that the CVR's larger Vas [I]and[/I] higher Qts are going to make for larger enclosure requirements for the same alignment. If you run them in a box modeling program, you will find the that the CVR requires a box roughly 5 times the size of the CVX for the same alignment. Of course, the mechanical power handling of the CVR isn't as good as the CVX, so you need to put it in a small, high-Qtc to keep excursion in check with high power -- something you don't need to worry about with the CVX. And, as can clearly be shown from the other thread, power is [I]not[/I] what needs to be matched up. This was your original suggestion: You suggested a single CVX, just because its RMS rating matches the amp. You still don't seem to understand that two CVX's off the 750.1 will be louder and produce less distortion than a singe CVX run off the same amp. The CVX is actually [B]more[/B] efficient than the CVR, which means it will produce more output off of less power. Combine that with the fact that they will be using a smaller percentage of their available linear excursion capabilities, you can't help but come to the conclusion that, with the zx750.1, a pair of CVX's > a pair of CVR's. But keep believing those old ignorant myths and all the other bullisht about 'underpowering' if you want... just try not to convince others that it has any validity. [/QUOTE]
