Hi Guys,
My friend need a small install in his car. A single woofer and an amp. First I thought of Pioneer ( bcoz other brands were not available here before) but now there are two other brands JBL and Kicker. The dealer shown a JBL woofer, dont remember the model and the kicker one CVR 12.

So are these brands better than Pioneer 307 or should I stick to Pioneer? Also we are planning a 400 watt system since the car is small, I dont think its alt gonna handle too much of load

Since your in India you probably can't get any of the brands we have here in the US..

Id say go with the CVR 12

Yeah, CVR 12 - do like mike said and get a custom box. It can get loud in a big ported box. Sounds good, too.

I've heard them both, i even own the older version 306 and i like it more than CVRs.

My advice is grab the cheapest one cuz they're very similar

i have tested both the 307 & cvr

for the $ the 307 is excellent

however the cvr seems to handle a lil more power & plays a bit more refined too

IMO - if u can put the extra $ get the cvr .....

Rovin, I theres not much difference between CVR and 307 in terms of money (about 30 dollars in your currency) so I can get that. What could I do? Should I go for CVR? Because I will be installing only one sub. and anyone could provide me dimensions for BIG PORTED BOX?

It bumped! Majority says CVR. I don't own the Pioneer, so can't talk about it, but CVR is an awesome budget sub and I love it. Sealed or ported box - you won't be disappointed.

Look at the CVR manual on kicker.com. They have box parameters listed there. I'd go for the biggest box you can fit in the car. Largest ported one they recommend is 2cu ft per side before all displacement.

then get the cvr

dont use too much cuft since the sub will bottom out

2cuft after all displacement is what i tested mine in - tuned 34hz with about 24\25sq" of port area slot ported .......

^^^Yep, that should sound good and be pretty loud.

I want to go for round port, rather the square one, thats why asking the dimensions. I have previous emails to Iwill find the website from where you calculate the length of the round port.
