aquill1 Posted January 27, 2008 Report Share Posted January 27, 2008 (edited) Well from what I heard from a salesman from cartunes the kicker cvt line is garbage. He figured they sounded like the cvr until a customer complained of the sound in his vehicle. Needless to say he won't even sell them to anyone even though they sell them. I am not sure about the rockford shallows as far as sound I as well was looking them up the other day. Personally though I've installed 2 pioneer shallow mount 12's and they only take like .5 cu ft each and sound good. They don't hit low low but are very responsive and sound great. Plus they are quite inexpensive. From what i could find they also require the least amount of airspace compared to other stuff. My brother has a ford explorer sport trac and I had him convinced on 2 kicker l7 8's in a sealed box using up at least .33 cu ft. and a mounting depth of like 4 and 3/4 or something like that. The 10" l7 requires at least .66 but has a larger mounting depth over 6" i think so if that would work for what you trying to do....how big of a box can you fit and what about depth? What about under the seat? BTW here is a site I found for under the seats...http://www.soundoffaudio.com/item.cfm/id/2104... Are you able to do some speaker box fabing?

What about under the seat? havnt really looked yet, i have the cvt's 2 12"s and im pretty happy with them, but ive also heard the rockfords and they sound nice, i wanted to put 2-3 amps under the seat and make a nice plexi led box, so i was thinking more of behind for the subs...havnt done any measuring yet, just got it today and now its dark, ill have to take a look tommorro Quote My F-150 Build GET ON THE BANDWAGON what if they tried messing with the amps when the subs werent louder hahah jk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

aquill1 Posted January 27, 2008 Report Share Posted January 27, 2008 Your happy with the cvts? The guy I talked to bashed them and he's a salesman making money for the company. I wonder what they did wrong? The cartunes place is actually a reputable business and they sell jl audio so they aren't a crappy shop so I wonder why they sucked? Actually he recommended the comp series over the cvr and cvt line. Which those are the least expensive of the entire kicker line! If not kicker he recommended the pioneer shallows that they sell 2 for 200 bucks but they only sell the premier line. I've personally installed the pioneers and I was really shocked how those sounded. Good luck finding something out! Somebody was saying something about RE shallow mounts subs somewhere on here. You know the way they rep RE so I'd imagine those would have to be good! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
