Give us a budget and we might be able to find something better for the price. Also how much room do you have available? |

I would think that the 2 CVRs would be louder just because it would be more cone area. |

IMO if it is a prefab box I would recommend either building your own or having someone build it for you. It usually sounds better and gets louder. A sealed prefab wouldnt be a bad choice either, but it will usually will not be as loud as ported. |

The enclosure is more important than the equipment. You can make a $30 sub get just loud if you have a proper enclosure. You can also make an expensive subwoofer sound like crap and have not a lot of output.
I would go with the CVR's if you can fit the proper ported box in your car. You will get more cone area than a single L7 which will help for spl.
And 4 guage should be fine with that amp. |

Hello Steffanie and welcome to E.
First off,If you already have a custom ported box, what size/shape sub was in it?
I have never been impressed with the 12" L7.. Just didn't get loud enough for me and its SQ was terrible. I liked my old L5's better. Now 15's was a different story.
The CVR's will sound better and probably outperform the L7 if you put them in an enclosure that is built to specs for those subs.. If you ever want to upgrade later you will have little problem getting your $125 back.
Have you given any thought to a single 15 setup for now? Throw a AQ SDC2.515-D4 on that amp and let it rip. That sub New is $159 shipped and would be worth the few extra bucks.
Whatever you decide on, I really hope you follow everyone's advice and don't get the L7. FYI i have ram most models of Kicker Subs from comps to solo X's and the 12" L7 was by far my least fav. Truth be known, Having discovered the underground equipment, I would not go back to Kicker subs....EVER. There are too many great smaller companies putting out far superior products and in most cases charging less the the main brands. Hope you hang around. |

hmmmmm ok....(decisions, decisions) well the cvr's are not in a ported box and the L7 have a custom ported box. and im actually thinking about juz buying em' both since they are for a good price and just sell them im sure i could sell the L7 in the box for $150-$200. I'ver heard lots of good things about the AQ but was still skeptical since it wasnt a everyday brand you hear such as (kicker, rockford, JL, etc) but i havent heard anything bad yet (not that i've done MUCH research, but you usually hear something by now)....but im trying to make the decision between these 2 choices for now until my upgrade.
and could you check out my question in the (amps) section this other guy is tellin me to go with the L7. |

I personally would not go with the L7, but you could buy them both try them out and then sell the one you dont like.
I like mark's idea of buying a AQ 15. That would be a nice little setup especially in a properly built enclosure. |

^^^ and judging by the total conversation on his end, it will likely be the last. lol
Did you decide on anything?
here is a vid of a single AQ sd2.5 12" on 600 wrms. he did a 145.X with that 1 12 on 750 wrms.

I would go with the AQ as well kicker sucks all kickers i have heard hits mid freq hard but lacks greatly in the uppers and lows and the SQ isnt that great at all.
That single 12 would make you happy with it and if you get another one it will be just that much better but this is just my opionion. |

OK so the AQ's are on point!!!!!!!!! and thanks for the video Mark i like what i saw......but the only reason i've limited myself between these 2 choices where because they are right here and thats what i have the money for now....so i've decided to go with the 2 CVR's for now. and i'll probably get a new system by the end of this summer (around aug.) and then i'll have enuff money to get something thats worth buying.....
QUESTION: THe cvr's are in a small sealed box and they beat kinda hard but i also have a bigger sealed box would that be better?
should i get 2 12" AQ's when i upgrade or is there another speaker u've had in mind? |

The CVR's will hit pretty hard for you while you save up some money and learn about all of the newer brands. The problem with Kicker subs is the sound quality is pretty bad, but like I said they do put out some bass and that is what you need at the moment.
A little advice for you... stick around and read the various threads that cover things that you need to brush up on. And most importantly, ignore the people on here that think they know what they are talking about but don't, like Ryan L and 90% of everyone else. It may be a bit tricky to read between the lines and figure out who knows what, but we will help you along the way. Good luck with whatever you decide Steffanie. |

it would be hard to answer that question becuase everyone likes different things in subs so like the spl of the subs, some like a mix of both spl and sound quality. and some like sound quality of the subs. so it is kind of hard to saw what the top three subs would be their is a lot of variables in subs. |

1. Soundsplinter RL-S/ AudioPulse Revo - Probably the best combination of accuracy and output on the market.
http://www.soundsplinter.com/rls_supreme_series_subwoofer_information.html
http://www.audiopulse.com/products/subwoofer-drivers/revo
2. Image Dynamics IDMAX - Great sounding driver that will get very loud.
http://www.imagedynamicsusa.com/products.php?Family_Id=4
3. Fi Q - Another driver that can get loud but retains accuracy. Maybe the best overall driver for the money on the market. Excels in sealed boxes.

The larger box would probably be better for them... according to kicker's website in a sealed box they need between 1 - 4.6cuft. |

if you can have a nice bandpass box built, then i have heard they are very good. never used them myself, but maybe others here have. but if you're speaking about the bandpass you see in bestbuy or most shops, then no. |

if you want to use the same amp if you upgrade from the keekers.... i'de do a single 15" sdc2.5 or even a RE SE..
All of the brands that Brad and Ctmike are talking about are defineatly better that the AQ.. But they cost a lot more.. There are many great high end subs out there, but I was just trying to improve your choices and keep in the same price range..
Other great SQL subs would be:
RD Sonance
RD Alpha
RE XXX 0/4-0/5
RE SX
FI Q
DD2515
IDQ
IDMAX, very short list as there are many many other choices
As for the bandpass boxes, I would stick with a standard slot port enclosure. unless you are certain that the person who builds the custom bandpass box knows exactly what they are doing, otherwise the enclosure will likely be peaky to say the least.
They are tricky to get right and I failed misreabley the only time I tried, but I am no professional box builder.
as for the CVR's' box, If you are not looking to put them in a ported enclosure, than go with the larger sealed box so long as it is not over 5^3 ft total for both subs and is well built. Thgey sound better and get louder in the correct ported box IMO.
What voice coils are the cvrs? hope they are dual 2's otherwise they will not be right for that amp. and the L7 would need to be dual 4 for it to be correct for that amp. |

oh yes they do my cousin has 2 CVR comps on a 1500 watt sony and it slams in a 4 cube down ward facing box tuned to 40 hz he is hitting harder than most 15s i have heard from round kickers imo |

Well Stephanie, the proper subwoofer choice will be determined by a few factors, one of wich is enclosure size. The limitations are obviouse, as your vehicle is only so big. If physical size is not much of an issue, the two Comp VR 12's will in fact be louder due to a larger cone area than the single 12" L-7, but will consume nearly twice the area of your car. The VR's are also much more efficient than the L-7 as well, as they will do more with the ammount of power from your 750.1. Make no mistake though, an L-7 12'' in a properly tuned enclosure is a very capable rig. I cannot stress enough the importance of a properly built and designed enclosure. |

YOU WILL NEED TO START OVER. THE SUBS NEED TO BEWIRED IN SERIES. Then wire the remaining wires in parallel..Sorry about the caps. |

nah my problem is solved Mark......i called kicker and told them and the guy said.....
tie the - from one sub to the + of the other sub.
then he said put the + in the + terminal of the ampand - in the -.........
and it works great.....
because at first my bro tied the 2 + together and put them in teh + terminal and the 2 - in the - terminal which gave me .5 ohms from the amp and the amp kept cutting off when the volume is half way....not to mention the gain and bass, and hz where turned only 25%
but it works great now..
my next question is how do i TUNE my amp??? |

LPF to about 80hz
Bass Boost Off
Subsonic filter set to what your box is tuned too.
Gain you have to download a 50 hz 0 db test tone and use a DMM. Turn your stereo up again 75%. Find the voltage to set the gain too. |
