What is better in subS?

Question

Wat would hit harder.. 2 12" rockford fosgate PL 1's or one 15" kicker compcvr.. I dont no how many watts the rockfords are.. i no the kicker is 500rms and 1000 max tho.. there would be powered by a power acoustic amp thats 1800 ... 500 rms

Answer 1

Your question is enclosure dependent. In the right enclosure, that 15" CVR will blow your mind, but the P1's will sound just as good. The 15" will get lower and boomier, and the P1's will be more accurate, and have cone area on their side. You need to go out and hear them both with your own ears, Every single person on here is biased. I personally hate Rockford Fosgate cause they are made in China with the Rockford name stamped on them, you are just buying the name. I have 2 12" Kicker CVR's in my car and I am very happy with them, I metered a 137.8 at my last competition. But that is just me.

Answer 2

There are other sub woofer options that have a higher performance per dollar ratio.  I would consider the Mach5Audio IXL 12's before the RF's or Kicker CVRs.  There are so many higher quality options out there that are not sold at best buy or Circuit City, you just have to do a little research.

Answer 3

the max power or peak power doesnt matter, most people never hit that anyways.

But you'd have to know the specs on the fosgates in order to know which one will hit harder. it also depends on your amp. you say its 500 rms but is that a 2 channel or mono channel amp? Because you wanna make sure if your running two 12" subs off the one amp then you might wanna check how many rms will be running through each channel. If it is multi-channel.

FYI. Like he said JL Audio's are very nice. There probably my fav brand.
