cvr's

Can anyone who have had these speakers give me an honest opinion about them and not flame them just because they are cheap. How do they play the low end. I here they can only hit one note well. How do they do in various enclosures. what is the best amount of wattage to send them. I know some subs are capable of well beyond there rating.

I have two of them right now and i love'm. They were easy on the wallet, these things hit deep, not to great on the highs but you can get some mids or somethin but all in all a great sub...i'd give each sub 500w...

good and cheap subs. louder than you would think a sub of this cost would be.

do they do better in ported or sealed

 

[NeroInferno 10+ year member]

i was told ported but it all depends on what your plannin on doin with them...

These subs do well in a ported enclosure, a friend of mine has two 12's in around 3.5^ft and tuned in the mid 30's at 2ohms on a Memphis 1000D.

Give the subs 400-500 watts RMS per sub, put them in at least a DECENTLY built ported enclosurewith enough room and you'll be thoroughly happy I promise. If you're only doing one sub, make sure the box is built to Kicker specs and has ample room, I would suggest tuning to low to mid 30's

And yes they do hit lows fine

I'll be doing 2 subs. I was going with a hifonics amp, dont know which one though.

i had 1 15 cvr and 1 06 l7 15 both ported tuned to 35hz the cvr sound s alot better then the l7 not as loud but but alot better SQ

If you're doing the Hifonics amp setup, I'd go with a 1200w, the 1206 model I believe it is

Give you a good 5 to 550 to each of them, closer to 550 I'd say

SHOULDNT hurt the subs as long as you're not full wang 24/7, plus those little cvr's will take a beatin

iam going back to the cvr 15 going to get 2 ported 3cuft. per chamber tuned to 30hz on a hifonics hercules-xx @ 2ohms 800 watts to each sub but these sub can handle moer the they say underrated imo i have ran 1200watts to 1 15 cvr

man i am a noob and i am not good with measurements (that will change soon). I have an 90 legend coupe and i am hoping that ported box will fit in the trunk
