It's obvious I am reaching the limits of my Kicker CVR's. I have heard of Brahmas, Shivas, REXXX, and a million other subwoofers, can you guys give me some pointers on what would be a good choice to replace what I have? If possible I want good SPL and decent SQ, and I love the WHOMP the CVR's give, so something that will make your teeth shake would work for me :] all I can do is shake eyeballs. Also if you don't mind since we know the box is important, give me your thoughts on an enclosure too. Thanks in advance!

How much do you want to spend?  Subwoofer systems can cost from $100 to $10,000.  Giove us an idea of your budget and we can help guide you in the right direction.

Also, if possible I would like to power them with the amps I have already, they are good for a little over 1000 watts rms at 2 ohms mono (that's 1000+ per amp) and I'm not talking "Audiobahn watts" lol...

Look at (and listen to if possible) woofers from Infinity, Alpine, Eclipse, Diamond, ID, Phoenix Gold, Xtant, JBL... any of the better quality brand names.

Phoenix gold XENONs are only about $110 ea for 12" woofer and they are amazing in SQ and SPL and they also have an LED in the center of the cone. for $250 u can get an L7 on ebay for about $165 each for a 12" also.

if you are looking at $250 a sub, I would look into the RE Sx series sub,   I was very happy with these for daily driving.      They handle low end bass very well, handle alot of power, and remain very very clean for such a large woofer
