my buddys currently running two crappy jl 12s, and i was wondering if these would be an upgrade?

ive never heard any shallow mount subs, is there a difference between them and regular subs sound wise?

the subs he is currently running are

and hes got them in a shitty prefab box with an amp givin them each 90 watts lol...

so i figured if i can get him to grab the kickers above, and get a box on the forums, and a new amp his system will be ALOT better

Theyre nice subs. Basically like a flattened CVR. They get decently loud.

i wouldnt really say an ungrade, he doesnt have any fuken power, that is his problem, doesnt matter what sub you put in there

with a new amp and good box he should notice a lot of difference. I wouldnt go with the shallow mounts if i didnt have to though.

yeah i know and it sucks lol.. but with his small budget and limited space i figured the cvts in a custom box with the right tuning and air space, and a BETTER amp to push them he should be alot happier

I have a single 10 off 50 watts and it gets too loud for me. You don't need power if you have efficiency.

any specific reason? hes got an 05 Dakota with not much space, how much air space would he need for 2 CVRS?? i dont think his truck is big enough lol

how bout one of them with 2 cvrs or 2 cvts?

I had one in the sealed kicker box they sell. It was in a regular cab ranger with 400 watts rms and it was loud but nothing like a regular sub tho. IMHO there would be no or little difference between the 12w0 and the kicker CVT. You just need moar powah. Get a bigger amp.

well what if i put two cvr 12s in the proper box and give them 800 watts total?? that would make a difference between the jls hes got now correct?

i just dont know if he will have that much space for two cvrs.. its a 05 Dodge Dakota

Your not gaining much swapping subs. Its all in the amp. Put a bigger amp on what you have then see if you want to upgrade the subs.

yeah but there is a difference between the jl w1, and the cvrs... 250 watts
