cvt65 as a test sub?

[akheathen Premium Member]

so, i'm looking at getting a new test sub that can handle a bit of abuse, and perform more like a larger "real" sub. i don't feel like buying online, and the local shop has an '08 cvt65 (shallow 6.5" kicker sub) and a jl 6w3v3. over-all, the jl looks pretty bad-*** in design, but looking at the coil, i'm not sure it can handle the power load i may put it on, and i will just end up crying like a little girl when it smokes. if it had a better coil, i would buy it. the kicker is only 75, and i believe with warranty, like that matters with kicker.....although this shop is real good about getting any warranty pushed through. the jl is about 200. the main point is to build different enclosure designs, and not break the bank, clock, or storage space, lol. what do you guys think?

why not do multiple.in stead of trying to smoke a sub .\ just get another so that wont happen and you'll get more bass

well, i started with 2, but i dug this single one out of the back on the show-room. also looking at keeping the enclosures as small as possible, yet effective. not going to use for my daily driver or anything. just test boxes.
