Sub(s) for my preferences. PLZ HELP!!!!

[boogerdawg]

Right now I have 2 Kicker CVR's in the Kicker built ported enclosure powered by a 600 watt audiobahn amp. I want to get a new subs or maybe just one to replace these. My headlights dim slightly with the setup im running now. I plan on doing the big 3 with 0/1 awg wire pretty soon but thats about all i want to have to fool with as far as upgrading the electrical system goes. My goals consist of the following:

*I want the sub(s) to hit hard. Like...feel-it-in-your-chest-and-hard-to-swallow-hard.

*I dont want to have to upgrade my cars electrical system any more than doing the big 3

*I want them to be decently accurate, they dont have to be extremely accurate though because all I have experience with is my CVR's and I think they are fairly accurate.

*I would like the sub(s) to be louder than my CVR's as well.

***Budget is $700 for the sub(s) and an amp.***

Thanks!

if your experiencing dimming at 600w your going to really struggle getting it much louder without an alternator upgrade.

1) Your subs are underpowered.

2) Even with big 3, if your dimming now I wouldn't go over 1000-1200 or so watts.

If your interested, I'll sell you my current set-up (changing to smaller car, **** 15" won't fit).

15" Diamond D9 (Dual 2ohm) wired down to 1ohm. Ran off a Lanzar Vibe1200D, great budget amp, does rated power. 1200 watts is really the most you can get out of that alternator. D9 will be much louder and a hell of alot better SQ than those CVR's. I'll let the set go for alot less than $700 too and you can save that money for electrical upgrades and money to build a box and what not. PM me if your interested.

So maybe i will just get Kicker 05PKD1 1/0 Gauge Dual Amplifier Power kit and a Hifonics BXi 1606D amp and try that with the subs I have now. Im currently running 8 awg wire to the audiobahn. I cut alot of corners and now im regretting it. Do you think that the new wiring kit and amp will make a big difference in the way my CVR's sound?

They'll get louder. Won't see a SQ increase though. Def. get rid of that 8ga, upgrade to atleast a good 4ga kit.
