    they had one w/ a 2 ohm load and one w/ a 4 ohm load, I must have just copied the 4 ohm specs instead

    Those boxes are pretty descent, nice low bass and hits hard too.

    you could probably build a better one if your into that kind of thing.

    I'm kind of glad it's not here yet, i have more 1/0 gauge to install and i have a low thumping sound now, i think it's coming from the deck. Will find out tommorow.

    I think I changed my mind once again, how does this sound?

    1 12" Kicker CVX 2-ohm 1500W Sub in a Kicker Ported Box sound?
    It gives 750RMS which is 50 watts lower than the 2 CVR's combined but I found the CVX sub w/bow for like $50 cheaper

    Will it basically sound the same or better or worse?

    1 12, will for sure not be as loud as 2, you will have 1/2 the cone area.

    i would go with the dual loaded kicker comp vr box, those comp vr's kick some ass for the money!

    remember that adding another identical sub does not equate to twice the sound. You actually get around 6 - 18% by adding another sub. If space is an issue, concentrate on one very good sub, and you will be happy.;)

    yup ^^

    i like my one 10 way better than the 2 orion 12's. deeper bass ftw.

    i'm sure in a better box those 12's could do better. louder is not always better.
