may be a stupid question and i know everyone bashes kicker for multiple reasons..but give me a lil slack..all ive ever had was kicker...ive had every sub cept the comps and the solo X...so i dont see the terrible ness in them yet..lol taking SQ completely out of the picture as well as Price cuz ive got all my subs cheap or free..lol CVX for 149...why is kicker so terrible??
but anyways...how does these subs compare to the CVX? matter of fact which subs out of the Audiopipe line will smash the cvx? (and yes please be louder than the L7)

I would say that the BE line would compare to a cvx. At least the AP subs have a nice cf cone rather than that plastic kicker uses. The BF line would stomp a mudhole in a cvx of the same size.

alright sounds nice!! so would AP be top of the line? or is BF top of the line? or SPL? im sure they run a pretty penny...but i think imma look into that BF line

Audiopipe is budget, China made stuff. But the txx subs really are impressive for what they cost. I'd get 1 BF15, and put it in a 4 cube net enclosure tuned low.

budget china made stuff..lol the way u say it makes it sound as if these subs are crappy but great for the price. How do these compare to the Sundown or SSA line...not the ICON or XCON if these are the better buy i think ill have to snag one of these asap

Lol, almost everything is made in China these days. 90 percent or better of woofers are, for sure. But some China stuff is built a little cheaper than others. what is your budget? is the kicker 600 the amp you'll use? and is loudness your goal?

Well, if its going to end up in the honda, I would imagine you'll want to keep box size down a bit. Are you attempting to keep any trunk space?

Cadence also makes some nice budget subs. The S2's hit really hard and get way loud. I'm about to get 2 ZRS 10's from them to replace my Treo 12.22

 

[DJSmooth245 10+ year member]

yeah but honestly that trunk is bigger than u think..lol...the buick goes back a lil ways..but that accord is deep as fock..lol Specs on that is..

Century 16.2 cu ft of trunk room

Accord 14.1 cu ft of trunk room

I would go with one 15, then, like I said before. And if you are going to use the amp you have now, get a one of these, and ask him to put a dual 4 ohm voice coil in it.

If you want to get a more powerful amp.. you'll want something beefier. If not, ^that is a nice, high quality, inexpensive way to go.

 

[DJSmooth245 10+ year member]

high quality but is it loud??? like bassy loud? louder than the cvx?

With only 600 watts on tap, you are limited. However, you can get fairly loud with the right box design. Enclosure design is a HUGE part of the equation.
@woofercooker ; how would one of those e15's do on 600 watts?
