voxigenboy Posted November 7, 2011 Report Posted November 7, 2011 ok, so currently I have a Kicker DX500.1 amp & a pair of Kicker 12"Comps in an enclosure. I've got a second enclose just sitting there and have decided to remove all seats in my Astro van(a side from driver/passenger ofcourse). anyway, in the 2nd enclosure I'm probably just going to put a pair of 12" Kicker CompVR's & get that 1000.1 amp for them. is that a good idea or should I do things differently?

JesseyMclame Posted November 7, 2011 Report Posted November 7, 2011 Personally, I'd ditch the comps and that other amp, and just get 4 CVR's. I have two CVR's in a ported enclosure and gonna get a AP15001D to push them. They get fuckin loooud. Or, just get one other CVR and have 3. That'd be loud as tits.

**Hollywood** Posted November 7, 2011 Report Posted November 7, 2011 Look the only logical thing to do here is to wall the van, we all know it ! Quote
Azagtoth502 Posted November 7, 2011 Report Posted November 7, 2011 Don't mix match subs if that's what you mean. Quote pa-pa-platypus sorry not everybody has a companies nuts so far down their throat they catch every drop ball sweat when it falls
voxigenboy Posted November 7, 2011 Author Report Posted November 7, 2011 hmm... well, i do want CVR's... and would prefer a single 'big' enclosure for 4 of them, but then i'd have these 2 extra enclosures i'd be stuck with. i guess for now possibly, just get a pair of CVR's & that 1000.1 amp... then try to sell the current subs/amp & go from there.

voxigenboy Posted November 7, 2011 Author Report Posted November 7, 2011 Look the only logical thing to do here is to wall the van, we all know it ! how much do you think it'd cost for such a job? i'd do it myself but my handyman skills are sub par. i can repair pc's & cellphones though. ;P Quote
STEvil Posted November 7, 2011 Report Posted November 7, 2011 $500-1000 for a wall, depending on the shop and how much work you do yourself. Build a box for the 4 12's. Subs up, port back, put them on a 1000-1500w amp, call it a day.

Any time you have have a power wire next to your frame put some rubber hosing (or cut up an innertube) around it. The wire is bound to wiggle (due to driving or flex) and the casing will eventually wear through. Hammerdown... 1% no links to outside websites, business related FB/YT pages allowed.
voxigenboy Posted November 7, 2011 Author Report Posted November 7, 2011 heh.. i took out the seats this morning and my gf was asking what i was doing.. i told her i just wanted more room for when we go camping. ;P then i dumped off the seats at the local junk yard. Quote

Yeah, just sell the other 2 enclosure's on ebay or craiglist or something. But the CVR's and that 1000.1 amp should sound great. Much louder than those comp's, for sure.

corey0928 Posted November 7, 2011 Report Posted November 7, 2011 You should have kept the seats in case you ever want to put them back in. And just sell the subs on craigslist and keep them in the box, it will be worth more if you leave the subs in a box than just by themselves Quote
