I took a trip to the flea market friday and finally found the system of my dreams, but still in my budget of only $500. The guy wants to sell my this system: 2 kicker comp vr's in a box and a planet audio P-850D amplifier and install it for $500. I thought the amp wasnt strong, but he said "dont believe me? Come to my car, so i followed him to his 1996 honDA ACCORD. "Sit in the passenger seat he said and i will turn my radio to 75 percent. The next thing i remember is a headache and BOOM BOOM BOOM BOOM. I jumped out the car and saw his whole car shaking. He said he not trying to buy a new window so he turned it down.
WHAT DO YOU ALL THINK? I PLAN ON BUYING IT IN TWO WEEKS.

^CVR's are also better built Than Comp VR's^

But I still dont care for CVR's Kicker should stick with amps and L7's and CVX's.

My 2 cents.

james caroll were they paper pulp Comp VR's?

Sometimes waiting untill you know what you want to fit your music taste will make you happier.

All subs are not created equal.

What kind of music do you like?

If you must have a system soon go on ebay and find a seller in texas I just bought 2 R's from a company in Houston on ebay I cant remember the name right off hand.

buy two 15 CVR and one hifonics and you'll see that you're spending less than 500 for new! then you can go and open up your trunk and kick out his system, then you tell him the cost of all that.

There are a lot of sub & amp setups for $500 that others could recommend but it's all subjective as everyone likes something different. You have to listen with your own ears and if your happy with the SQ/SPL then go for it.

Given enough time and access to many different subs and amps I'd say you could spend less and end up with a system as good or better than you heard...but almost no one has access to all the available amps and subs to do that kind of personalized test to find the very best setup for their own ears and own specific vehicle.
