don't worry about it high society, i probably worded it in a confusing manner. no leaks in the prefab box, but i am going to design a new system. my major for college was ID/transportation design(industrial design with a focus on designing cars, trucks, bikes, boats, etc.(the design, appearance portions, i'm no engineer)) so i have some experience in laying out different things, doing ortho drawings, and modelling things 3dimensionally including work with mdf and plexi. i'm going to design a ported box(with help and pointers from all of you on this board :) ) for the cvrs, purchase a new amp for them in the fall, and then probably fill the sealed box with solid 12s and use or sell them with the 750.1. might have to purchase a new car because i'm running out of room.....<<<joke, oh yeah and I agree with mobile, i like the compvrs for their potential so far, and am looking forward to this fall with the new setup.

Hey, make sure that your current box doesnt have any leaks. I notice that ALOT of prefabbed boxes leak, which is a performance killer. It wouldnt take much to take the subs out and trace the seams with liquid nails (or whatever you like to use) just to help insure theres no leaks...

My first system consisted of the following

Pioneer deh-245
Infinity Ref 6.5's
JBL 600.1
2 12" kicker comp vrs (sealed, 1.25 cuft each)

I loved it, it got pretty loud and actually sounded pretty damn good... I listened to everything from nora jones to vision of disorder and it never disapointed me...

I know alot of people will disagree, but I think the cvrs are pretty good street beater subs...

okay okay, I was a little confused with what you said my mistake. Prefab boxes arn't the best to go with, but if you go sealed I say prefab isn't to bad unless it's really cheap wood. All you really need is to find the right size from the prefab and your set, as it's a little more forgiving them a ported one.

You should hear/feel/rattle a lot more when you go ported.

High society....I don't need them there while making the box, but come fall when I have some change and the box done, I was just looking for some suggestions as to which subs thrive in sealed boxes. So, to clarify I won't be purchasing for a few months, I just thought I'd see what people thought about some sealed subs, which cargodz answered. Cargodz...yes, its a prefabbed box by Qlogic, and its actually a hatchback box with 1.25 cu. of space for both subs.

Why thank you, I aim to please, as I am no Terry(smoker) I try my hardest to keep a lil sense of humor. And I don't get why you need to buy new subs until your ported box is done??? You don't need the subs right next to you when your making your box.

As for amp, listen to Mike, he will do the best he can for you :)

[quote="A college kid"]Haha...hi society is a funny guy. Anyway, thanks for the help cargodz...what would you, or anyone else, recommend for a 1 ohm stable amp with adequate power for the 2 kickers? And one more question...what are a few of the "best" bumping 12s that you can get for a sealed box? Because it looks like I'm going to make a ported box for the kickers, so I'll need another pair of 12s to fill the void in the sealed box :p [/quote]
As for the best 12"s for a sealed box... that's not really the question...
More along the lines of which 12"s for this box, and I'm assuming it is a standard squared (not angled) prefab in which case it probably has around 1.10-1.25 cu. of space, so you'll need to have something that will perform in a small enclosure... The ones I personally would recommend that I carry that would perform well would be:
Massive PW12 (200wrms)
Interfire IF-124 (250wrms)
Fusion ENSW12HD (250wrms)
Cerwin Vega HED12.4 (300wrms)
As for an amp... Your Kicker CVRs are rated at 400wrms, your best bet would probably go with a 1000wrms @ 1ohm amp and just dial it back a lil.
I'll shoot ya over a price on one of my favorites Massive P1000.1 ;)
