KICKER CVR12 COMP VR 12" 4 ohm 1000 W

Like to know peoples oppinions on these subs (other than look, im not fond of it either.)

[Scarrell]

ive never liked the square subs from Kicker... sure they can get loud, but theres a difference in getting loud and sounding good.. none of em sound good... the reason i dont like the L5 or L7 is because of: 1. pressure points. 2. theres a problem with the tensel leads breaking 3. for the price you can get better.

now the old Solo's were awesome(round solo's).. also if you are referring to me when you say "and i hate when people knock on stuff before they try it" then you are wrong.... i have heard all Kicker has to offer... not in a demo board at some shop either... well i havent heard their Kicker Resolution comps. but sub and amp wise ive heard em all... anyway... the Comp VR is a better choice than the L5/L7's because of the price... no pressure points, and its capable of getting just as loud as either sub.... but just like the L5/L7.. they like alot of power... the Comp series isnt bad either.. but the choice is up to you.. i mean some people have great luck with the L5/L7 and some dont..

Thing is if its all set up right then any sub can sound good. I've had my L7s for over 2 years now and havent had any problems with anything you've mentioned. The corners still are completely intacted, all connections are firmly in place, and the sound quaility is great. With that said I also have each connected to a KX600.1 amp running on 2 ohms. Individually boxed in vented boxes made to exact specs. & at right frequences and gain settings have one of the cleanest hits i've heard out of any sub. If the setup is done correctly anything can sound good. Problem is most ppl get cheap or to big of an amp for subs. They spend alot of money on the subs then buy a crappy amp and dont get the right box. Then the squares dont sound good, yes they get loud but dont sound good at all.

Key thing is get a really good quality amp. Dont get cheap on the amp and get some good quaility subs. The comp VRs will work fine if you want a clean system. But get a box that is made for the VRs specs and get a good amp.
