Get two CVRs.. you'll get more cone space with two CVRs and for that reason there will be more sound.

I guess I came off wrong, what I meant to type, and obviously didn't, was that two 15" subs will push the equivalent of 30" of air, where as one will only push 15" of air.
Regardless of the SQ from the cvx, you will get more bass response from 2 - 15" subs.

Sony isn't comparable, but, if you took 2 12" sony xplods and put them in your trunk, and the guy next to you had one 12" kicker comp in his trunk, the xplods would be pushing more air.

The only reason, back to the kickers, is because the subs are comparable in wattage, he was looking at one cvx or two cvrs, look at the wattage, it would be exactly the same either way.. one 15" cvx is 2000 watts max, two 15" cvrs are 2000 watts max ( together )

So, in conclusion.. the wattage is the same, with 2 15" subs of equal power(as 1-15"cvx) and integrity you get more cone space.

yea but excursion and cone area also matters when u move air. like the new xxx has a big a.ss excursion and its cones not that small. so 1 12" xxx will probly move more air than 2 12" sony xplods

I wasn't comparing the Sony Xplods to anything other than a single Kicker COMP.

I'm not new to the audio industry, I know what I'm talking about when it comes to the two subs that were specified in this thread.. The two subs are very comparable on many levels.

There are minor differences between the subs specified. I have owned, and installed, everything between COMP to L7. I know what I'm talking about when it comes to these subs.

You may choose not to take my advice, and nit-pick at what I do and/or don't type, and that's your decision to make.

I'm only comparing my experience on these subs for someone who obviously has no idea about either of them.

Comparing the max ratings of an amp could be a problem, however, we're talking about subs. They are made to handle a max number of watts. They, for the most part, live up to that set potential.

Kicker CVr:

RMS Rating 500 watts ( Per Speaker, 1000 watts RMS total between two )

MAX Rating 1000 watts ( Per Speaker, 2000 watts MAX total between two )

--

Kicker CVx:

RMS Rating 1000 watts ( For One Speaker, 1000 watts total RMS )

MAX Rating 2000 watts ( For One Speaker, 2000 watts total MAX )

Again, choose whichever you think is best, but my experience is that the CVx is a waste and 2 15" CVr's will sound just as good.

Another thing I might add is that after trying basically the entire Kicker line last year ( minus Solo-X ) I resorted to two (2) Kicker COMPS using Hifonics Titan TX1005D, and though they may not blow my trunk lid open, they pound hard enough to knock items off of the shelf in my garage.

You should definately listen to each sub indivually before deciding which to go with, therefor, by from someone with a warranty.. so you can swap for a different make if you don't like what you've purchased. ( most retail stores will do this for you ).

Good luck,

Ciao :-)

even if were talking about subs. MAX rms still doesnt really matter

My statement about RMS and MAX wattage only proves that the wattage isn't different between 1 CVx and 2 CVr 15"s.

The sound quality, from my personal experience, is not much different between the two subs.

I have given my opinion, from ( again ) personal experience. There is no way to argue with personal experience, you can argue with specs on the subs, but not my personal experience :-)

Again, buy the sub you feel comfortable with, get a warranty, and if you don't like it, trade up.

Good luck with your purchase
