Why comp vr...I did research w/ no answer

Apologies to ask a question I'm sure has been asked before, but I did a search and didn't find an answer.

If the Kicker Comp VR's are so good, why are they so cheap? I know it's not all about price but relatively speaking it seems like they are dirt cheap especially being highly recommended in this neck of the woods. I mean, even the Fosgates comparable subs (H2s) are more expensive.

by the way this thread is 2 seconds away from being a what do you think about my proposed system....oh heck, why not....

I have a Pioneer Premier 960

I plan on getting an amp 600-1000w and a pair of subs (10"s or 12"s) with a sealed enclosure.

For this amount of wattage and two subs, it seems as though I can't do better than the comp vr's (esp for the price), hence this thread.

I previously owned JL's but they are expensive of course. I also owned some RF H2's which were decent in a sealed enclosure. I don't necessarily have to have the SQ of the JLs, but a step up from the RF's would be nice.

btw, my pair of Fosgates 500w each pounded with a 1500w amp...

As always, any and all feedback is appreciated...

amp suggestions are vey welcome as well. I am going to wait to upgrade my front stage speakers.

Are you referring to ebay prices for the comp vr's? I'm sure at a dealer they would be around 200 or so. Not to cheap if you ask me. Comp Vr's are decent, and would be the only sub I would go with if I went kicker. I dunno about the CVX's haven't been out to long so not to much hype on it. Dave(audiobass) was running a 15" vr and had some good things to say about it. As for amp it wont be to cheap to get a 1000watt rms amp. Unless you go ebay. I got my arc amp for 225. So you will be looking at about that for one.

As for sub you could always go with a single sub that will handle the power.

There is a video on Realm Of Excursion of the CVX's. They seem decent enough on video but I wouldn't buy them without seeing them perfom first hand.
Here's the vid.
