i was looking into putting 1 12" 07cvr sub into my civic and just needed some feedback on the sub

 

What are you going to power it with?

 

Theyre ok. CVX's get louder.

 

i know the cvx's get louder they're double the power and what type of box should i get ported or sealed for this sub

 

i found a transmission line slot ported box that is 2.22 cubic feet for $69.00 through caraudiofactory.com never heard of them but the price is good let me know what you guys think

^agreed. A sub generally is only as good as the amp that pushes it.

 

i bought a hifonics zues zxi4006 it throws 400rmsx1 at 4ohms

 

i gave you guys the amp now should i buy a sealed or ported box

 

thanks for the help not you guys ask me what i'm powering the sub with and now don't answer my question

 

It's a good sub.

Yes the sub is OK, it will work pretty well with that amp in a small sealed box, [1 cuft net], a "SQ" box will need to be about 4.5 cuft, [sealed] although the power handling drops to 300W continuous in the bigger box.

It will also work in a vented box, [slot port] 1.75 -2.25 cuft + port displacement, again power handling is 300W continuous, in vented boxes.

The owners manual you get with the sub will have all the info you need for box size and construction and VC wiring.

The above assumes you are talking about the COMP VR 12"... http://www.kicker.com/06/tech-...b.pdf
and not the COMP VR D-Series 12"... http://www.kicker.com/06/tech-...n.pdf 94

 

so basicly buy a 1.0 cubic feet sealed box

 

anyone fcm is that what you meant?

 

Yes, I think that was one of the options. 94

 

Not true that CVX's are louder, CVR's can get loud in the proper ported enclosure. They are great subs I recommend them.

If you build the CVX's in the proper enclosure they get louder than the CVR's...

 

i'm just gonna get a ported box 1.75 cubic feet

Let's see, you have a 750W sub and a 400W sub, you put both in proper boxes, power them properly, and the 750W sub is louder, well hell who knew, maybe Hatch will make it a sticky. 94

For optimum output and SQ the box needs to be built to spec, that is even more important with vented boxes, and downright critical with band-pass boxes. 94

 

i was just gonna buy one from the store not build it
