CVX 10: Sd = 379 cm sq, Xmax = 15.4mm

CVX air volume moved per cycle = 169.2 cubic cm

Type R 10: Sd = 332 cm sq, Xmax = 18.1mm

Type R air volume moved per cycle = 186.1 cubic cm

The Type R has the theoretical capability to move more air per cycle, but the enclosure, as well as many other factors, will have a big say in which is louder.

Either sub should welcome the 850w rms (as long as it's clean power) from each of your Kenwood amps, so it's probably going to be so close, you won't be able to tell too much difference at full tilt. Although the lower Qts of the CVX would point it out as a slight favor for a ported box.

They're basically in the same league; you're not going to get a night and day difference.
