Kicker 6.5" CVT vs. ED E3.6

[FAM4LIFE 10+ year member]

I currently have two of the Kicker 6.5 CVTs in a .6 cuft sealed box being powered by a Kicker zx 300.1. Although I didn't expect any real low end out of 6.5" subwoofers, its almost like the factory speakers in my rear doors get lower off of my h/u. Now the higher sub notes are loud but low end is missing all together.

I noticed the E3.6s from ED have a lower Fs than the Kickers (28hz vs. 53hz). Will I have better results on low end if I switched to the E3s.

These (kickers) are in my Titan and they blend quite well but I want them to go alittle lower in the sub territory.

Thoughts?

The eD 6.5" subs are HIGHLY rated as far as 6.5" subs go. They have way more motor and excursion compared to the your CVT's. Heres a video of the eD Eu-700 which is the same exact thing http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bsq132rMvbg

I had the 8" version of your Kickers, and I had the same problem. If you can fit 8's, get some Sundowns. If not, the ED's will probably be really nice. I've always been interested in trying them

if depth isnt an issue , check out the tang bands that PE has.

The EDs do seem like a step forward and are going for a good price right now. If I'm still not satisfied then I'll try some 8s next.

At 40 bones each, who can complain? Personally I'd go with 8" subs over the 6.5's, you cant get but so much out of a 6.5 no matter what, 8" subs have way more output while they can still be used in a very small enclosure. I actually do have a couple of eD's e3.8 8" subs in my truck, and they perform awsome! Heres a video of them...


What cab type is your Titan, and where are your subs placed currently?
