[QUOTE="944g37, post: 5241382, member: 604313"] I have a CVX 12" D4 in a smaller ported box, on a Kicker ZX400.1. I inherited the setup for free for some work on my friends car. It is an 06 model i think, it has has a hard life, esp. being on such a small amp and has developed a rattle, supposedly caused by damage to the coil. Can the CVX be repaired, if so about how much does it cost, can i get the parts and do it myself? If the answer is that i should just replace it, i want something that picks up lows a lot better, this CVX has always sounded like shit anyway. I plan on re-using the box and amp with whatever i do, its in a 94 Eclipse hatch so i get a LOT of sound pretty easy and i have been running it with a rattling coil for 3 months so im not too worried about SQ. Also i know nothing about good brand subs but so far i have figured out that i want one of the following. Boston Acoustic G5, TREO TSX, or a RE SE. Im more leaning towards the RE. Which brings me to another question, with my ZX400 would i be any better off spending the extra for a RE SX over a RE SE? I definately want some sort of competition grade high quality unit, not some off the best buy shelf "name brand" piece. And lastly, i dont really have much of a budget but would i be better off selling the ZX 400.1 used and finding a more powerful mono amp? [/QUOTE]
