|
Silver Member Username: Tdeaton1021Near Tampa, Florida USA Post Number: 248 Registered: Sep-04 | i would think the atlas in a ported box could definetly keep up with a comp VR... ive heard atlas's can get into the 140s |
|
jack walton Unregistered guest | i heard ALOT of good things about the kicker comp cvr/vr and i could get 2 subs not just one either 10 or 12". i heard they had good s/q and spl so i was just wondering if im right or im just stupid..lol also i really like kickers look(glass,fishy could use your guys' help here) |

Gold Member Username: Taylor17Kopperl, Texas Post Number: 1456 Registered: Jan-05 | The CVR's are good sub's, but the Rockfords will out perform it in spl. I believe the Atlas will outperform it in both sq/spl. I would recomend going with a 15 Atlas with a ported box tuned to around 35 HZ. |
|
jack walton Unregistered guest | i dont want a 15", but will 1 12sound better then 2 10's(kicker crv's)? and where can i buy these atlas 12" subs at. Also i would appreciate it if you had any amp suggestions(again im on a tight budget so i need somthing probably in the 100-170$ range) I think i'll get my amp of ebay |

Silver Member Username: Bnd_rulezPhoenix, AZ USA Post Number: 426 Registered: Mar-05 | Thats the bonus to the Atlas 12". The sub only cost like $150 plus shipping and it only needs 250 watts to get moving. The Atlas would be better than the Kickers. You can find the Atlas on www.ascendantaudio.com |

|
jack walton Unregistered guest | thanks guys this fits my budget PERFECT..but one last Q, do you recomend the ported box or a sealed for the atlas?? i still want good sq but still alot of noise |
|
Silver Member Username: Tdeaton1021Near Tampa, Florida USA Post Number: 250 Registered: Sep-04 | i would reccomend a ported tuned between 27-34 hz... i think ascendant audio reccomends 27-30 hz though ... reason why i say ported is because it will give you about 3db more spl and the atlas will still sound good. |
|
jack walton Unregistered guest | is it that big of difference?? because i don't know how to find a box tuned to that or whatever.. so unless you got anywhere to get one i duno what to do |

Silver Member Username: TpizzlePost Number: 101 Registered: Apr-05 | jack if your going for sq deff. go with sealed. ive never been a fan of ported, ide hate to lose the great sound quality of the Atlas due to a ported box. ask around here most people will tell you sealed is by far the way to go. |
|
Gold Member Username: James1115Wilton, Ct Post Number: 2401 Registered: Dec-04 | go ported tuned to about 27htz you will not lose any SQ as a matter of fact lower tuned ported boxes have better SQ then seales poxes and are much more efficient with the power provided to them. If you are going to go with the PPI a300 I would go sealed just because of the power provided but thats me. |

Jessey Unregistered guest | Im not some expert in this stuff so i have no idea how to make a ported box 27htz.. does goin sealed make a big differene loudness of the sub.. because i still need to get loud you know;) whats the poin in gettin a sub if you never run it loud...... sealed or bandpass im still getting mixed opinions |
