Kicker 10" CVX's?
 
Hey, I have only heard good things about the cvx's, I had 2x 12" L5's, then 1 L5 in the kicker made box. Now, I have the cheap c10's in the ported kicker box for 2 10's. I have a Planet Audio RXD2400 amp that has apparently been "modified" for actually 4000watts or something.

my question, would 2 10 cvx's have enough room in the kicker box?

Forget prefab. Build your own enclosure. I have a thread titled "enclosure plans" which has like 250 free enclosure plans... you'll need one around 3-3.5 cubic feet (ported)

eeks, that wont be possible, lol. I have a 95 240sx and their trunk space is very minimum (which is why i went with the 10"s) i guess ill just upgrade to the cvr's

that would be downgrading if you went to the CVR's

you can always just build a 1.5 cubic foot sealed enclosure for 2 10"s

it wont be downgrading from what i have already. I have the cheapest normal comp subs. they are 150watts each lol.

I like the sound of ported enclousers, I listen to mostly of rap and techno

you can get good output outta a sealed enclosure. i mean if space is an issue, sealed is the way to go. it'll be a much more control sound.

http://www.kicker.com/comp_vx <<< Is this link to the right woofer? CompVX?

http://www.planetaudiousa.com/main/487 <<< Link to amp.

I suggest that you only run that amp at 2 ohm. That will yield an output of 1600W. Your two 600W RMS subs, will then each get 800W. Which would be a nice little system.

I'd be leary of the claim that its been modified to produce 4000W. Hooking these two 10" subs to that much power would be a poor decision. They wouldn't last very long, most likely.

Now, you're going to need a pair of dual voice coil 2 ohm model subs. You're going to have to wire the voice coils on each woofer in parallel, to make a 1 ohm load, then wire the subwoofers in series to bring the load back up to 2 ohms for the amp.

Having said that, if you're playing two decent 10" subs in a custom enclosure with 1600W available, I highly suggest you listen to Jalat, and try a sealed enclosure for these subs. You're going to have a lot of bass. Looking at the Kicker site, for this particular woofer, it says that the range of Min. to Max. sealed enclosure sizes is .8 to 3 cubic feet. I could be wrong, but a larger sealed box would result in a deeper sound.
There's also ways to line the inside of the enclosure with a damping material that makes the woofer behave as though its in a larger enclosure than it actually is. You could employ that technique to keep your box size down, but have an output you're happy with.
