Right now i have 2 15" kicker cvr with a 1600w legacy amp. I am deciding that i want to get something new but i just dont know what to get. I was wondering anyone has any ideas or suggestions to direct me into the right direction. I am also looking to spend under $1500.
thanks

If you really want them subs to come alive buy a GOOD amp. Also custom build a box.
You would be AMAZED at what I just said can do, and it wont take no $1500...

Get rid of the amp, and get yourself something that will push them subs. Those should get plenty loud. Check the good, bad, ugly list for a new amp selection.

absolutely.
3cu ft per sub, 6" ID ports, tune ports to 28Hz and get a better amplifier. Legacy is crap, and 1600 watts is a peak rating.. real power is probably 250 watts if that.
Get something that feeds those subs about 500 watts RMS each from a reliable company (look at a mono class D amp) and you'll be amazed at the change in response from those subs

LEGACY sucks get rid of that amp... i too started with a legacy amp and just got an alpine amp the amp made all the difference my type rs are twice as loud and i would recommend getting a new amp before u start spending all of that money... the alpine mrd m605 would work good for those amps if they are 4 ohm one for each

the alpine mrd m605
Those are 500 rms each, he would need the mrd1000 if he went the alpine way. Either way, those subs should sound good.

i meant one mrd m605 for each amp... if they are 4 ohm a piece and u wire them for 2 ohms then you would get 600 w rms per sub which would be right around where you needed them

If you still want to different subs we need some more info though. Is the 1500 for subs and amp? Are you looking for SQ or SPL? What kinda vehicle is it going in?
