[QUOTE="rlwjr1, post: 8651427, member: 675375"] I am new and thought I posted this last night. If I did , I apologize for posting it twice LOL. Anyway, I had a Kicker RW10CVT10. Bought it last September, paid 60 dollars for the item. I have an Alpine MRP-M450, this amp is a great Class D amp pushing 400 watts RMS. The CVT sub was 400 watts RMS too. I turned the LP filter on 80, which was recommended by local audio dealer, and kept the gain no higher then around 60% of highest setting. One of the CVT's busted, warranty replaced it, 6 mons later a Voice Coil gets damaged. So twice in 6 mons, had to deal with replacing sub. Now, the company no longer sells that particular sub. So, I upgraded or at least upgraded in price to a Kicker 43CWR104 10 inch. The same in size, watts, etc. Both are dual voice coil. The only difference is CVT is 2 ohm, the CWR is 4 ohm. I will be the first to say that Kicker sounded very good, with a very solid bass sound. The question I want to ask is there a reason both of those CVT ended up tearing up, and is the CWR a better subwoofer. I will post a link to both subwoofers, if any of you have a good reason to why the CVT did this twice let me know. [/QUOTE]
