New Set-Up What do you think

[Bumpin' Goalie 10+ year member]

I agree with this.

Plenty of people here can make you a very cheap design, and if you have a little time here and there, build your own. Good project and sense of accomplishment.

PM me if you want a design //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif

As far as equipment, free is free.

Welcome to the forum, and thanks for listening //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif

Kicker 07CVR124-2-Pack (2subs_07cvr124) - 12" Subwoofers - Sonic Electronix

The cvr's would be a good choice //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif

I prefer sealed box's over ported.

Well bud, Since you are new to car audio, I don't believe you know the difference. Give them both a try if you get a chance.

By the way. PMd.

Would you have suggested he still try a sealed enclosure if he has said he preferred ported?

So you dont think sealed enclosures play any useful role in car audio?

edit: you get an A for honesty btw

I'd say you stay away from the CVR's.

WIth a $500 budget, there are quite a few options out there: mroe specifically, I would suggest a single dual 4ohm, midline 12" subwoofer over a pair of lowend 12" subs. Take a look into a single 12" Incriminator Audio Lethal Injection, a DC sound labs level 3, or even the new Subtilis VVX-12. Both can be had for fairly cheap ($200), then you can pick up an amp such as an MBQuart DSC1500.1D ($210), Audioque AQ1200D ($250), or Audiopipe AP15001D ($140).

The reason I emphasize dual 4 is because dual 4ohm subs can be wired in parallel for a final load of 2ohms. The amps I just listed put out a solid 600-800w @ 2ohm, which is a perfect match for the subs listed. Then, if you were to add a second sub, you can wire them for a final load of 1ohm, which would be just as good becuase the amps I listed put out a solid 1200-1500w @ 1ohm.

In all, it's about flexibility and value. I don't like those CVR's one bit. Even though they are dirt cheap, they're not a good value because 1) they would eventually be tossed out for something better, and 2) I see no resale value in them.
