Ok so im new here whats up guys i have been apart of many forums including pbnation and cobaltss.net. Well my gf loves the system so she was bumping some beats and boom my two mtx 12 inch 4500s blew. So i called my bro and we traded my dual blown mtxs in a carpeted box non ported box for his 12 inch orion sub in a ported box. problem with the sub it has a hole in the top of the cone but its hitting fine. The sub is just for now until i get a new sub. The box is really nice. im running a boston acoustics gt-24 amp that u can put into mono mode at 900 watts. Also i have a 2.5 farad pyro audio campacitor. 100sq ft of fat mat. What im wondering is what sub should i go with because i dont want to blow another sub so i want something that can handle this amp and be great. I was thinking a 12inch kicker cvx. would some of you guys please help me find the best sub so i dont run into this problem again. Personally i like the sound of one sub in a cobalt more than two. My 12 inch orion is hitting harder than my two mtxs were and i tuned the amp down with the orion. Also here is a pic of the ride that the system is in.

oh btw my head unit is stock and i dont want to go with a aftermarket because my xm comes through the stock head unit and i want to keep my steering wheel controls and i like the oem look so a head unit is out of the question.

 
idk the box size is there anywhere specific i could look its much bigger than the area one single sub can fit in on the 4500 and it just barely fits in my trunk the cobalts trunk is crappy the orion is only rated at 200rms and i feel that it will blow it up but my mtxs are 225rms a piece and still dont feel the way this orion hits.

 
i also can pick up a cvx off ebay bnib for like 140 shipped i dont have much money to spend im on minimum wage and only making about 13 hours a week right now due to payroll being dropped but i have some money saved

also the pics were taken in watkins glen new york

 
also i am a newb and am learning slowly but surely thats why i have joined this forum. I have looked at it before and have seen alot of insight on it.

also please realize that i want a perfect sub for this amp.

 
if you want to pay for something less than a CVX, Audioque has an HDC3 line that i think youll be interested in...http://www.audioque.com/aq/HDCSeries.htm
..the 12 is 229 and 15 is only 239...i think the HDC3 15 would absolutely destroy the cvx12 for about a hundred less too..IMO

whats your budget and max net box size?
I believe that this might be your loudest option especially if you build a new box to specs for it.

No question the CVX will slam you may have too much power for a mach 5.

 
Correct. A single MAW-12 will not stand up to that much power.

If you can get a CVX for $140, do it. Otherwise, check the classified section - there are some good deals.
