Most everything will depend on your budget and goals

For your sub stage either option is good but personally im not a fan of skar based on the companies track record of its unethical practices and the owners dirtbag behaviour. That aside from a purely objective stance i know that the original vvx were great subs and would choose them if they didnt have skar written on them. Aside from your two choices I would instead get a pair of sundown sa-12s or obsidian 12s mated with a 1200-2000watt amp depending on your electrical capacity ( batteries, alternater, wire size)

The skar audio vvxv2's are great subs for the money. They are extremely responsive subs and handle the lows very well. We are also an authorized skar audio dealer in Woodbridge. send me an email if you are interested mike@sosautosports.com
