Need advice on 10 inch Subs and Amp - Camaro5 Chevy Camaro Forum / Camaro ZL1, SS and V6 Forums

4RD H8R · 07-05-2010, 06:45 PM

OK, I have some limited experience with subs and so (but from 15-20 years ago) and I know the game has changed and there are A LOT more knowledgeable people than myself on this board.
I am thinking one of the ******** 2 x 10 inch enclosures that mount at the front of the trunk behind the seat.
The subs I am looking at are the Kicker CVR10-2 10" COMP VR. They are a 2 ohm sub rated at 400 watt cont. 800 watt max and are just under 6 inches deep (@ 160.00 for the pair)
For the Amp I am looking at the Kenwood KAC-7205 that has a 2 channel 2 ohm output of 250 watts x 2 and peak of 500 watts x 2 ( @135.00)
I am sure that a better system could be put together, but I am also looking for a good bang for the buck (that translates into I'm cheap)
Do you guys think this system would be worth the investment or do you have any other suggestions?

generic enclosure + 2 JLw0 + JL 500.1 = good sound

Steve,
Was looking at the website, what about the mb quart DSC2150 amp, Kicker Comp CVR10 2 ohm subs, and 2x 10 enclosure. Would that be a good combination.
If so could you pm me a price with grilles for speakers and all the install hardware.

The 2 Kicker CVR 10s are awesome in this car.. I have the 1000 watt kicker amp on them.. its amazing.

The CVRs are decent subs, absolutely great lower-midline products. In the right box, with the right power, 750wrms would be perfect for the pair, they will sound good and get loud.

Although more money, since you mentioned dual 10s, here's a package deal that is awesome together. That amp is closer to, if not over, 500wrms bridged, and those subs are sweet. Moriatti here has a similar package, only a single 12, I believe.
