I am helping a mate purchase some subs. He is after SPL over SQ so i have suggested Kicker. He is on a budget so i have suggested some of these which can be had for $200 second hand easily. I have heard many Kickers before, they sound great and are extremely bassi for the price.

thoughts on these?.. They will be twin 10"s.

Could someone also recommend an amp?

Cheers:happy:

I have exactly the same ones except 12". THey run effing sick mate

I think kickers have amps designed for just their subs.

yeah the CVR's are a decent pick. and yeah, Kicker tends to design their subs/amps to be an appealing match for each other, not that it means theyre going to be any better than any other amp.

That pic in first post isnt a CVR, its just a Comp (150wrms). The CVR's (400wrms) are very nice though, used to have one! Very punchy! (And loud)

So you reckon spend the little extra for the CVR's??

Now i need to get some amp recommendations.. I was thinking an 800watt monoblock?

What are the sub specs? Wattage and SVC or DVC?

They are 400wrms each and i am pretty sure they are DVC, someone else may know exactly...

these are the subs

Assuming they're both 4 ohm DVC, you could wire them up for either a 1 ohm load or a 4 ohm load - see this (http://www.the12volt.com/caraudio/woofer_configurations.asp?Q=2&I=42#results). So yeah, a monoblock that can produce about 800w at either load (probably easier to find one that's capable at 4 ohm, not a huge range of amps will go down to 1 ohm) would suit nicely.

It says on the terminal plate what load it is configured to. There was a 4 ohm and a 2 ohm released in that series.
