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!

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. ------------- Support the12volt.com

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.

the Xenons do not sound bad at all I put them in an 03 civic in a ported box tuned to 30hz and it rattled the tv's out of the headrest and the back windows would flex ...Garcia_209 may b the one u got were sh!t cuz u put um in the wrong box or didnt feed them clean power but hell no not the ones i got and got for other people...

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

Kicker Solo Baric. A set of L7 10's or a single L7 12 in a ported enclosure would absolutely ROCK. The box should be tuned around 40 hz. If you go with Kicker Let me know I can get you the exact box specifications from Kickers design team. I have their engineer on speed dial on my cell phone  . I dont remember what the cost is on those as I am an installer and I really never remember the prices. You can get similar results from L5's they cost a little less. -------------
