Depends........what kind/size of box??

 

[somekook 10+ year member]

whatever kind you've used...... i asked for peoples experiences

I've never personally used them, but I think I remember hearing that they're good to right around their rated output, possibly slightly more. Good sub for the money is the general concenses (sp?) from what I remember hearing around here a while ago.

I gave my compvr 12 600wrms in a 3 cubic foot box, at a 34hz tuning, Ran it like that for the whole summer. I actually just sold it to my friend and its still bumping.

For now, i'm only using a 10" CVR 4 ohm, and it sounds pretty good. It's in a ported box, and i have 350 watts going to it, it can get pretty loud. It doesnt get distorted like my friend's crappy Pioneer sub. I havnt heard too many different subs but i love it

I have a pair of 12''s runnin at about 350rms each and they love it.

My friend has three 10s in his S10 single cab truck and they sound way louder than my two twelves. Id recomend them to anyone.

 

[somekook 10+ year member]

anyone ever tried giving them way more than their RMS?

jbl 1200.1, sealed box.. around 1.5 cubes.

Loved it, took it all day long, and all night. She'd still be running it, but the jbl got scavenged to feed another project.

I have 3 12" dual 4ohm dvc's running off of a Directed 1500D. They take it all and sound good

they sure cant handle 1200 watts, hehe. i got bored and threw one up against the diamond audio 1200.1, and i was running it at 14.4 volts, so it was more like 1400 watts. it was handling it very well for about the first 4 seconds, then it went all to hell. anyway, i got the thing warrenty'ed (ehh, did the best i could) and now i have a new cvr.

thats extremely helpfull. thanks

thakns everyone else too. so they blew after four seconds? 1200 is what i would be burpin them at in comps, so all these high power experiences are helpfull. 1400 watts for four seconds? what kind of box?

 

[somekook 10+ year member]

i should really get them warrantied, but i like to buy stuff on ebay, and theres always a chance i wont blow them. anyone know about how much a recone costs on one of these subs? or if they even offer reconing on compvrs?

 

[somekook 10+ year member]

say wheres polecat when you need him

 

[delvryboy 5,000+ posts]

1000w, 2.5@30hz....daily

wall socket burps, 1.5@40hz

this is a 12", sub still in perfect working condition.

 

[somekook 10+ year member]

****, what ohm load did you hook it up to the wall in?! a single cvr12? dual 4 ohm? if so, in series thats 8 ohms.... 1800 watts!

 

[delvryboy 5,000+ posts]

yes, in series, 8ohm

i've done it about a dozen or so times. i used to have it wired to a wall switch my garage and burp it when people came over //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif i sold the box though and now it resides on top my refrigerator.
