What do you think about the 05 kicker compvr's?

[v6camaro00 10+ year member]

I was thinking about getting the new 12 inch, 2 ohm version of the 05 kicker compvr's but i've heard mixed reactions. I was just wondering if i should buy them or save up a little longer and buy the 12 inch, 2 ohm alpine type r.

uh... imo that could be a toss up... i haven't heard either in good installs so it's hard to say... i'd buy either and port it, both can handle decent power

Alright heres my say on the situation...

I have 1 12" 2005 CVR ported to 34hz in a 2 cf box (after displacement) running off a BX1000D at 2 ohms (rated at 700 watts - probably realistically somewhere 400-500) in the trunk of my car and it gets **** loud and does not sound bad at all.

I have not had any personal experience with the new Rs but from what everyone says, they seem to be good woofers. The only thing is, it seems that the Rs need a lot more power to reach their full potential. I could be wrong, but that is what it seems.

I think it really comes down to what your goals are and the power and space you have...

Personally, I love my CVR and would definitely reccomend it.

I've heard both of the subs, and to be honest I like the CVR's, in my honest opinion I don't think that the Type R will get much if any louder tahn the Kicker, and the Kicker doesnt sound bad if you put your system together right.

Go CVR's and spend the extra money on a good box

I heard 2 of them in a semi large sealed box about 1.5 cubes each sealed with a bazooka 600.1 and it sound amazing for the money and was loud, http://ikesound.com/product-product_id/1693, that is for the dual 2 ohms, u can get the dual 4 ohms for $79 from the same place.Oh yea get a larger amp at high volumes the amp would cut out.

yea cvr are very efficient lil subs....they get loud off minimal power, but still can take alot of power. I had 2 for awhile and they are virtually impossible to mechanically bottom then out.....good sub all around....i recomend it

i would take a treo tsi over the comp vr, or if you wanted to step it up, the tsx. both are louder and better sounding. but of the two the type r.

thats about right for the 15" comp vr. i put one in 5 cubes tuned to 33hz running off ~200 watts from my avionixx 4 channel. it got pretty d*mn loud.

if you have less power go w/ the cvr's

I got a 05' CVR15 in a 5.5 Cube box on an Audiobahn A8002T. This thing gets LOUDDDDDD. I think I have the loudest system at my school. You can literally here this thing two blocks away. This speaker is ridiculously loud. I think I might sell it because I value my hearing and I don't want shit falling off my car from all the rattling.
