[QUOTE="Deiimos, post: 8877244, member: 682903"] That’s pretty funny, though a fire in a car of any kind is never good. I smoked some MA Audio 12’s many years ago, I got them cheap, they poured smoke out of the ports on a Memphis 16-st1000d or whatever it was, the rectangle silver color amps, I knew I cooked the subs and opened the trunk to a smoke cloud. I had a pair of the older CVR 12’s, first version of the silver cone red logo, and those performed fairly well for a 2” coil sub considering what it is. I ran them on an old 2001 MTX 1501D amp at 2-ohm and they put out some bass for sure. Mine died from being in a box a little too big and bottoming out / smacking the voice coil on the back plate too many times, coil rub eventually got worse. If those CVR’s were like $75 new, I would be recommending them more for a solid budget sub that takes a bit of power, but at $150 each you might as well put that towards a better sub / bigger coil. That said, for a budget minded sub with a 2” coil, I actually liked those. 😅 [/QUOTE]
