[QUOTE="mgramling, post: 2032614, member: 569609"] I am looking to put me 1-12" in a 96" Accord sedan. Plan on powering it with around 400Watts. I mainly listen to hip/hop through my Ipod, or XM. I just want to be able to hear the music well inside, and don't care if anybody outside the car hears First off, I went to local stereo that also does window tinting place yesterday, and they have tons of kicker subs. He was asking what I was looking for, and told him, HU, AMP, and possibly -12" or 1-10" . WE talked for about 5 mins or so but when I told him I was reading on crutchfield about a particular ALpine HU and Ipod cable and he basicly went said "I got to answer the phone", after the phone he just stood behind the counter reading a magazine. I looked over at him needing help, and he just ignored me so after about 5 mins I got the hint and left. I planned on getting my windows retinted. But after that I got out of the mood. So anyway what brings me to my question. I stopped in at a local circuit city today, and they were real helpful. I told them I was looking to add possibly 1-12" or 1-10" to my car. He ask me some quailifing questions, and we started listening to differant subs. I really like the in this order. all enclosures where ported. 2-12" Kicker Comps, in a Kicker enclosure" 12" Kicker-L5 in a "Kicker" enclosure. 2-12" Kicker CVR in a Kicker enclosure: 2-12"Kicker L5s kicker enclosure- 2freaking much bass, more than I am willing to spend. WE used the same kicker amp, employee said each speaker was getting a 350Watts But I like the sound of the 2-Kicker Comps the Best. They sounded the cleanest. The single L5-pounded real hard, but it sounded weird, I can't describe it, not distortion just weird. The Kicker CVR, which what I was hoping to end of getting sounded horrible. It sounded like it was rattling. I also listened to a couple of MTX single 12"-4500, and 5500, and a set of Duel 4500 and they just didn't have the punch any of the kickers had. I will probably end of getting my speaker off of Ebay. and building my own box. I told the dudes at Circuit city I planned on building my own box. The dudes at curcuit city told me to use the kicker box, because they are designed for kickers. So I am confused, as can be. I only want 1-12" speaker. The comps sounded real good, but there was two. Sincle I couldn't here just 1 I don't know if it will be enough. but I was wanting the CVR because its a little bit better speaker, able to handle more power. They also had a 12" eclipse in box, and it hit, clean, and good. so now what [/QUOTE]
