which to get?

hey guys im kinda new to the audio world, but i want some subs that will have good spl so which should i get i think i have it narrowed down to 2 15" kicker comp vr's or 2 15" Rockford Fosgate HE's.  Which would give me a higher spl? Which would sound better, can you give me some of your opinions on both these subs......thanks

I like both of them, but if I had to pick between the two I'd probably go with the Comp VRs.  They are DVC which gives you more wiring options, and they can handle a lot more power and have rubber surrounds, whereas the HEs have foam surrounds--treated foam, but foam nonetheless.  And the HEs are just single voice coil.

The Comp VRs are just better subs and will not necessarily sound louder with the same amount of power, but will be able to handle a lot more power overall than the HEs.  So that translates into greater potential SPL.

If you do get the Kickers, make sure you follow the guidelines for recommended enclosure types/sizes, as it can make a HUGE difference in the sound with these subs.  I'd go for a vented enclosure to get maximum SPL.

Cool I think im going w/ the VR's then, so if i had the right box(most likely sealed) and the right power to it what spl could i be looking at(i know you guys cant give an exact number but what would you estimate i will be hitting)

thanks
