Looking to Upgrade my Kicker Comp vr w new subs

Dawg, mah trunk beats hard liek sum gerrillaz. it hits like supa hard like beat n mah trunk yknow? but not punchy like fosgate. I wunt sum smaller subs cuz the r punchier. but with a little deep hit too yknow and i really like my kickers. but I was thinkin bout sum L7s or a JAYELLE DUB 7

 
Such is the nature of the kicker. Until you get your new setup, try playing with your LPF, maybe bring it down a bit. If it sounds muddy my first thought would be that it may be playing frequencies you don't want it to. Lower the LPF and let it concentrate on where it should be playing //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/thumbsup.gif.3287b36ca96645a13a43aff531f37f02.gif Unless of course it's down all the way or something, in which case def. time for new subs //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/laugh.gif.48439b2acf2cfca21620f01e7f77d1e4.gif
What kinds of music do you listen to?
Its probably because of the 1inch voice coil and tiny motor with the huge magnet boot. Sell those badboys on craigslist.

What kinds of music do you listen to?
I Listen to mostly rap/ hiphop and rnb MY Lpf is set around 75 right now my gain is @.5 and my boost is at 6 What do you recomend me tweaking them to?

 
My system is laughable eh....?? lol thats cool and mature!!!! but yea i had a starter system last year some cheap *** duals which were poop but i got these from some one for cheap but there just not really accurate/punchy if you know what i mean. Ill look into those L5/ L7's
Also i have a sealed box i will meaure it when i get home after work
If I were you, I'd get a DC Level 4 10" sub, it will take every bit of that 1000w your amp pushes, it will be accurate and deep.

Even less specifically, any D4 or D1 10 or 12" sub that will take 1000 watts would probably suit your desires very well.

However, you may want to consider adding more power though, you won't notice an increase in volume with that single 10" at 100w(probably a decrease actually, less cone area), but the bass will be tighter. You might want to look into getting a sub that will take 1.5-2k and spending a few extra bucks to really upgrade your system

I think most people have the ill-concieved concept of "low". You probably think a 40-45hz note is low, I bet if you tried to play a 20hz or a 25hz note with those woofers you'd hear nothing but your subs trying desperately to make an audible sound.

No one would hear an audible sound at 20hz as that is the lower limit of human auditory response...

Lower limit, not lowest, nice try, being a smart ass and all.

I can play (and hear) a 20hz note on my home subwoofer system, It's not very loud, but it's audible.

 
what he really needs is teh PUPS!!

for what your working with i would run a single 12/15 setup. ill probably get bashed for saying run a 15, but if put in the right enclosure it will have the tight response your looking for and still be able to get low (depending on the sub of course)

the lvl 4 10 suggested earlier would also be a good choice.

also if you want more punch out of your system you should probably look into upgrading your midbass, a nice pair of mid bass drivers and an amp for them will actually go a long way, when looking for quick bass response.

 
Those Street Duties Sound nice! but i dont know where to get a custom box @ any recomendations ? & Those should work nice with my MRP-1000 ? Because I dont want to upradge my amp quite yet.

You're darn tootin that lvl4 10 would turn the trick

Also about big single woofer setups; I've been considering getting an 18" Level 4 and no one has said anything to me about it, all you really have to do to get good performance out of a big sub for rock music is turn the bass down on the HU and the sub won't hit as hard, but that's okay because you're not trying to have huge bass with rock music.

contact either of them for a design, rabbit will design, build, and ship for under 200, RAM will just design, and you can take the design to a fabricator somewhere in your area.

 
I interpret 'punchy' to mean his 15"ers are too big. Try some 12s or 10s. I don't think there's anything wrong with Kicker CVRs.
Kill yourself. You have no idea what youre talking about. The size of the speaker con has nothing to do with how "punchy" the subs are. I hate craigslist car audio terms more than I hate noobs who think they know what they are talking about. The correct enclosure, power, and a good amount of motor force determines the accuracy of the bass or in your terms "punchy" CVRs and Comps from kicker are overpriced junk. Coils are small, the motors are covered with giant plastic boots to make them look cool and there is no reason why anyone should ever pay 300 dollars for one. I have run everything from an 18 to an 8 and I could get the same, if not better bass response out of the 18 that I could from the 8s. There are people on this forum, including myself that would redefine your idea of loud and "punchy" with a number of single subs.
