xfl's are in a whole 'nother league.

I would choose the XFL every time in every aspect. Although the XFL probably isn't the greatest thing in its price range anymore.

but do you you think 2 will be louder than 4 cvrs. im using all of my trunk space for which ever setup i decide to get. I've heard 4 cvrs in person and it was loud as hell, but i only heard american bass on youtube or video, never in person but i just know they hit hard as hell to

I've heard two XFL's in a custom box and it was hitting just under 150 decibels (that's some serious output)
In order to properly run enough wattage for that (2200 watts minimum) be prepared to dropped alot of money on electrical (your going to need an aftermarket alternator, AGM battery, and big 3).

there's probably better options than both of those if you give us your budget.

everyone (almost) on this forum bashes kicker so take it with a grain of salt.

For the price of CVRs, you can get two good 15s if you are able to fit 4 12s. Custom ported or prebuilt junk? Do you have the space for a proper enclosure for either is the main issue.

Don't laugh at me but this is going in a 2000 mustang. i was looking at kicker because cvrs dont need much space in sealed enclosure. and for the xfls i can completely take the trunk and brackets off and make cutting adjustments to get the biggest possible box in there

was even checking out sa sundown. my budget is about 450 for subs. i have friend that build boxes

measure the total room (LxWxH) you have, or if you're good with volume tell us how many cubic feet you have total.

you want a ported or sealed box?

Would you be willing to do a blow through into your cabin? If you're trying to get loud, don't go sealed. Get a custom ported box built for the subs. The most you'll be able to fit is probably 2 12" ported in a mustang. But tell us how much space you're working with so we can figure out the best route for you.

Don't get CVR's. There is a reason everyone bashes Kicker.

Also, I'd rather have two subs ported than 4 subs sealed. Don't just try and cram more subs.

well after somecutting around L 24'' x W 32'' H 14''. given my trunk space sealed might be best option

 

[tyronekndrck 10+ year member]

yeah thats stuck in my head now just might get 2 xfls. have you ever ran 2 subs with 1 chamber. i heard if one fails the other will but do it sacrifice sound

You'll want to do an 8" sonotube port with that space if you are going xfls, i'll have to have a few inches extending out too. You will barely have any cubic feet left if you do slot port. Sealed with XFL is not an option man.

Thought about doing a single beefy 15? What kind of power are you running?
