comps are lowest in the kicker line.

comps (black cone) <<<
cvrs or L5s (white cone) <<<
cvxs or L7s (grey cone)

What you need is better subs. Can you return the subs/box? Cuz with that amp we can certainly recommend something that will get MUCH louder and sound MUCH better.

Keep that amp and get either 1 15" or 1 12" HDC3 dual 1ohm and wire it to 2ohms so you will be putting 1000wrms to the sub. Build or have a custom box built for you and you'll be set.

then you have comp. vrs', not the regular comps. the vrs' are actually decent 'beginner' subs. you're right on them sounding bad in the kicker prefab box, they tune them around 40hz. if i remember correctly. but a pair off that amp should get decently loud (depending on what you consider loud). is everything set right, meaning amp and hu settings?

^because mostly alot of ppl is looking for SPL and doesnt want to spend much money. So usually AQ HDC3's is always suggested because of there quality and they will do damage.:-) this is also coming from a HD315 owner, im also running that same amp.

here's some vids of my hdc315s John Johnson. sorry it doesnt catch all the sound, the camera is shitty. lol

before anything though i would try a custom built box first.

CVRs huh?

Is your gain set too low?

I mean at 40hz they should get loud off that much power, maybe you have the gain set low cuz you're worried of blowing them.
