hollywood recomends that you tune the port to 45 hrz that was the origional box i had i think it was 3.5 cubic feet... i wasnt that happy it didt hit the low bass notes that i wanted...could i get away with tuning it lower than what the manufacturer recomends....i am also underpowering it by 200 watts

Of course you can tune it to lower than the manufacturers rec. Tune around 32 and you should be happy.

my friend sent 750 watts to 2 and they where fine....

i know someone powering 2 of a jbl 1200.1, they seem to love it. i don't see why they wouldn't be able to take 800 if you were careful with the settings.

Straight from the horses mouth...Ive ran a bd1000 per CVR, if you know what a volume knob is and know how to properly adjust your gains you shouldnt have a problem. If you port the CVR dont go to big, PM this dude^^^^

one compvr15 he did not say two.cvr15 doesnt take much for these subs to get loud. why not port your current sub?

yea i am going to take moe lester s advice and go back to a ported box but tuned lower like 30 or 32hrtz...hollwood recomend the box be 3.5cf ....however seeing as i am underpowering the sub by 200 watts should i go with a bigger box like 4cf?

Comp VR's are known for being very tough and some like to use the term bullet proof. Obviously it is an exageration, however they are strong subs.
