New member Username: Nu2thisPost Number: 1 Registered: Oct-06 | learned the hard way on cvr12s. now i need advice how to get a good system. i have a homemade sealed box with 1 cf per chamber for 2 12s. they just don't hit hard. i read here that a smaller sub would hit harder in the small box. how much smaller and what brand should i go with. i would like to stay in the $300 range. other stuff include power acoustic xover and old punch 60x2 with kenwood hu. this sucks i spent tons of time on this box to make it fit under the seat of my truck just to find out you have to be in the cab to here it. i thought i would be poundin hard |

New member Username: Nu2thisPost Number: 2 Registered: Oct-06 | yes they fire down but i don't have to put 12s in if smaller ones would work better with the box. i raised the box up about an 1" to let them breath too. it was real bad before that. |

New member Username: Nu2thisPost Number: 5 Registered: Oct-06 | Muddy i had the amp from back in school days. it was hooked up to an ss12 box and it would pound then. but it was in a car. the amp is bridged with the subs in a series an really sure what the amp is putting out @ 2ohms but its more than this junk kicker calls a sub wants  . i think the rf amps back then were called cheater amps. i guess i need to know what i need to buy to get a good system in this truck but keep the back seat. got a family now and can't go rippin out the back seat any more |
