Silver Member Username: SkdooleyRoanoke, VA Usa Post Number: 234 Registered: Oct-09 | I'd agree to go a different direction for SQL. A well built enclosure is also going to be key, as well as how much power you're feeding this sub. You may look into RE, Fi Q, A w6 or w7 would be a great choice if you wanted to spend the cash. |

Silver Member Username: Simple_smithLapeer, Michigan United States Post Number: 226 Registered: Dec-08 | I would go with a Fi Q just based on the price difference from JL but i think we're getting a bit off topic-- Richard- What is your budget? We can moste likely find a better product for you for your price range. Also what vehicle? Do you have an amp already or are you going to purchase an amp based on your sub choice? |

New member Username: Soundman3103Post Number: 2 Registered: Feb-10 | well I have a 1000 watt amp picked out my car is a 05 Ford Focus and Im planing on spending $50-$80 .. sry I kinda have a low budget for this. The sound quality doesn't have to be the best, but still good, its just that I don't want sloppy bass. I still want it to shake and be accurate. Sry I don't know a hole lot about this stuff right now. |

New member Username: Soundman3103Post Number: 5 Registered: Feb-10 | Alpine SWR-1022D <-- is this any better??? |
|
Silver Member Username: Simple_smithLapeer, Michigan United States Post Number: 231 Registered: Dec-08 | the alpine is better, but your budget and your goal don't really match up cuz its hard to get decent amount of SQ for cheap, but we'll try to make it work for you with that budget, i'd try to get maybe a CVR 10 dual 2 http://www.sonicelectronix.com/item_8360_Kicker+07CVR102.html thats $80 then get an amp that can do 400watts @ 1 ohm |

New member Username: Soundman3103Post Number: 6 Registered: Feb-10 | I thought you guys said kicker wasn't any good? Thats why I figured the alpine might sound better. I guess I didn't know that they were that expensive .. from what I have heard though the alpine swr-1022D has decent sq and hits hard. |

Silver Member Username: Simple_smithLapeer, Michigan United States Post Number: 232 Registered: Dec-08 | kicker isn't great, but that is within your budget the alpine type r is $105 the CVR is $80 and with your budget of $50-80 i figured the CVR would be better. pretty much as long as you're not paying MSRP for Kicker, its not THAT bad, but still by no means great between the two i would go with the Alpine Type R, but personally i would step up to the 12 cuz its only $25 more and you could put it in a sealed box so you could retain SQ while gaining some loudness. And RMS power doesn't change between the two |

New member Username: TlmTemperance, MI USA Post Number: 6 Registered: Feb-10 | I like my kicker cvr 12's but i want a bigger system. Look into Fi audio or RD audio if you want a good subwoofer. |
