Anyone have kickers new 6 1/2" midbass CVT65?

I'm looking at some different midbass woofers for my sail panels in my camaro and i came across these. it the Kicker CompVT 08CVT65 its a shallow mount woofer that looks like it would be perfect because i need either a dual 4 ohm or single 2 ohm woofer. its 6 1/2" with 150 rms and 300 peak. So does anyone have these yet?

get the oldschool kickers if u can find em. i might actually be selling mine soon, seeing as i got my substage back i dont need any rearfill midbass anymore. the rattle my rearview off HU power but can take 100wrms a peice. single 4's. they look like the oldschool round solobarics, black with the generic kicker logo

they rock!!!! and yes, very shallow...the older Freeair series mentioned rocked, but were very deep.

us camaro drivers need a shallow 6 1/2" inch speaker for our sail panels. in order for them to hook up to our monsoon amp, it has to be either a single voice coil 2 ohm or a dual 4 ohm. The only other woofer most people use is an elemental designs 6 1/2". This is a definate buy for me in the near future.

i have the ssmb6 now and would upgrade to these since i blew one of my ssmb6. but i loved the output of the ssmb6. its a great product for the price.

^^ Allright good to know .. Thats why I was wondering which ones to go with .. the ssmb6 are cheap in cost so I wasnt sure on the sound quality and output with them, Although all Ive heard was good things about them . I still cant decide which shallow mount midbass's to go with though .. Its a toss between the CVT65(new to me since this thread), SSMB6, or the MB Quart midbass add on woofer system for $250 from Onlincarstereo.com..... ??

im going to order the kickers here in about a week. it looks alot stonger than the ssmb6 so hopefully this one wont blow as fast.

^I guess just let me know how they sound becuase if you feel they sound better the the ssmb6's then Ill go with the cvt.

Just keep the signal clean and you'll be okay (i.e. no clipping).

I just noticed these at my local Kicker dealer as well and naturally wondered how they'd perform as midbass drivers.

Unfortunately upon closer inspection of T/S properties I don't think these would be suited too well for midbass reproduction. Fs of 53Hz is nice, but given the relatively high QTS value (approx .67) I don't think they would be efficient going much higher than low bass, and certainly not "mid" bass.

Here's the manual to them: http://www.kicker.com/06/tech-support/manuals/manuals/2008/2008%20CVT%2065%20Sub%20k01%20web.pdf
