i have 2 kicker cvrs in a sealed box with about 1-1.1 cubic feet of airspace and was wondering what subs would be louder in that airspace or a little i cant fit anything over a 6 inch mounting depth i was thinking either alpine type r or dc lvl 2

lvl 2 ,the alpines like bigger boxes. i can give prices and sell you the dc subs too

Yes

okay thank you. so in yall's opinion what sub wins. im going to be putting them in a ported box and will have about the same or a little more airspace i have a nissan titan thats why the mounting depth cant be more then 6

dc

thats what i was leaning towards. how much do the lvl 2 10 cost

probably not enough to justify buying them, if any. The performance of a sub is a direct result of the box it is in. You could gain by changing the box design and running 1 sub in that airspace..and even more by powering up, if possible, depending on what amp you are using....just to clarify, you have 2 subs sharing 1.1ft^3?

another question..have you looked at all the other subs made and narrowed it down to these two, or are you assuming these are the only two subs manufactured, other than Kicker?
