Bronze Member Username: Mittens08Post Number: 12 Registered: Jun-09 | thanks!! ive never heard of image dynamics r they good woofers...i was looking into a pair of kicker cvrs or maybe JL W3s...i jus want it to have a nice clean crisp bass but still gets loud |
Platinum Member Username: InsearchofbassYork, Pennsylvania Post Number: 11994 Registered: Jun-04 | Yes they are good woofers and they will sound much better than the cvr's or jl w3's. Crisp clean bass you will have and they hit low too. |
Platinum Member Username: InsearchofbassYork, Pennsylvania Post Number: 11995 Registered: Jun-04 | What ohm is your amp stable to? id assume 4 ohms since its a 2 channel. If so you would want two dual 4 ohms. And make sure to wire the subs like this.... http://www.rockfordfosgate.com/rftech/woofer_wizard/2_4ohmDVC_4ohm.gif |

Bronze Member Username: Mittens08Post Number: 14 Registered: Jun-09 | ok well im thinkin i might trade them for 2 cvr 12s...i like my 15s but im underpowering them plus its not a clean crips hard hitting bass jus sloopy n low lol |
