nickybee123 Posted July 27, 2019 Report Share Posted July 27, 2019 Ive been reading for months now, I used to be a kicker fan, (for regular music its not bad) but now im into more low bass and frequency specific mixes and im particularly fond of 20-35hz range. now with 2 kicker comp R subs on 1200 watts even in a box tuned to 30hz it barely makes any noise at 30hz. i mean its weird you can only feel it youd think it was trying to play 15hz I also have a 40hz box that I could lower to around 38 with some modifications, (5" wide port by 12" tall) that one is louder on all frequencies. Ive read that kicker really isnt the brand for you if youre looking for lower bass as many of the amps have an undefeatable low pass of 25hz. So my question, If I kept my box (it is within spec and tuned to around 40 i can get it down to 38 or so.will 2 skar EVLs on 2500 rms true power get me the low lows im looking for? or willl i need a to build yet another box. also is skar a good brand for budget low frequency bass? Ive been looking at Skar, American Bass, and EMF. I would use a matching amp if possible from the same brand. ive installed many many systems but not until Im an adult to I really care about more than just making my trunk rattle. my setup Sony 390w@2ohm 4 Channel with DSP 4 JBL g600c Components (2.3ohms) Kicker CXA1200.1 (2019 model) 2 Kicker Comp R 12s (2 ohm) tuned to 40hz.

nickybee123 Posted July 27, 2019 Author Report Share Posted July 27, 2019 I just checked them out, Id be seriously over powering them unless I stuck with my 1200 watt amp, however I want to upgrade my power to around 2000 rms as thats about the limits of my electrical system before i need to start upgrades on it. (180 amp alt with amg bat) looks like the Level 3 Would match my power needs better than the level 1, do you have personal experience with these subs? thanks in advnce Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nickybee123 Posted July 28, 2019 Author Report Share Posted July 28, 2019 think i should use the kicker amp or is it trash with the undefeatable 25hz subsonic if im going to be building a box tuned to 32 (since thats what they seem to call for) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
