anybody ever used kicker comp woofers(not the vr's)

I'm thinking of going with a pair of 15" kicker comps in an IB setup in my jetta to save trunk space

I'm gonna be using one of my SS rubi 702's for the sub amp, 700 watts should be more than enough for an IB setup right ???

I've never heard subs in an IB setup, just not sure what to expect......

also anybody got any idea what a comp 15 goes for

i havent used the comps in ib, but i did just finish and install in a 2003 bmw m3 with 2 cvr15's in ib and they worked very, very well

 

CVR is that the comp vr's?

they worked good in IB ? .......cool, I'd rather get the vr's but kickers site only recomends the comps for IB

 

there are alot of similarities in the comp and the cvr(comp vr). i can only tell you about the experience that i had with the cvr's. i used a alpine mrdm1005 to power them, thats over a kilowatt of power and they worked great. alpine doesnt recommend the type x in ib, but i have done that a few times and they worked very well in all the applications. just make sure that you seal the trunk from the passenger compartment very well and the comps or the comp vr's will both work great i suspect so long as you dont want to rip down the road with 50 cent at warp level, you should be fine

 

Why do you need alot of power? Most subs have less power handling in IB?

 

You need more power because, amazingly, IB is even less efficient than sealed.

well I'm running 2 8's off a rubi 702 in my truck ported and they make all the bass I want

so I figured since I wanna go IB if I run a couple 15's even though it's way less efficient than ported they should give me adequate bass off 700 watts

defro thanks for the coment on the CVR's I'll have to look into a pair........


anybody know who in saskatoon sells kicker, does visions still sell em
