Got this sub 4 years ago and it’s has brought me many years of enjoyment. It is my first sub so I can’t compare to others, but I’ve never had an issue with cvx 12 and overall very happy with it

That sub comes w its own clip indicator🤣

First off I'm 35 my family owns a auto upholstery shop. I've been around systems since the 80s back when it was more about clarity than bass. In saying that it wasn't about the loudest but the best all around system and one of my favs was an alpine deck kicker 3.5s kicker by 9s and some cvx 12s on a kicker 1100 zx amp in a sealed box in a 85 Regal. Everything was sound deadened and this was one of the dopest systems I ever heard. I love seeing simple systems that really smash

What did you hear this 85 Regal man ? Yeah , the old school simple , sound quality systems are my favorite ! Then next fav would be the crazy elaborate uber high end audio systems !! OH _ I really miss the car audio days Without all these canbus systems and extra computers .!! Also the sound quality of the class A/B amps back then was and is top notch ! Which is pretty rare nowadays , or super pricey to obtain . Peace

Hell yeah!!! I had an 87 cutlass with 2 kicker 10s facing forward and 2 12s facing the rear. Gutted the seat of course running them on 2 orion hcca 250s. Miss that thing so bad. Hilarious that we can get 10x that power for 200 bucks these days.

Dude don't know what you did but I can finally hear you!! Thank you. Great video bro!!

You finally got the cvx i love it

Hey Parker great video man.. Yeah people hate on kicker but I had a set of Kicker comp RT under my back truck seat, and I ran them for 4 years everyday, I'm talking when its -40 below to 100 degrees outside, and never had any issues with them. I just sold them I was a little sad to see them go but I used the money to buy my Skar subs..

Awesome video... keep the sleeper subs coming along. I swear by these for decent build... they love a sealed box though. I could use that CVX for my prius 😅

Great vid man! Do a Pioneer series as well, they'll suprise you, really good budget subwoofers

Love your videos dude you really put subs and speakers to the test. Would really like to see you do a video on the Alpine type r series just for shits and giggles

Nice Parker! Probably a little less power since it’s a bigger than recommended box. Nice to see that sweet box in action again!

Great video, bro! I’m about to put a pair of the CVX 12s in my 08 ram Q-Bomb ported under seat box

I agree with some other comments here . You can definitely do better as far as bang to buck ratio. in Kickers defense they do have their own unique sound , and If thats a Big IF you put them in the Perfect box , they will perform amazingly !!! JL audio also has a unique bass sound , prefers a perfectly spec'd enclosure . Many of these newer style affordable subs such as Skar among many others , are much more forgiving in terms of enclosure specs !!. Anyone else notice this ?

I'm sticking to my guns on there is NO WAY a boxes tuning frequency can be calculated without knowing the parameters of the driver that's going in it. Skar designed that box around the SDR's parameters. Kicker or any others sub T/S parameters will be different resulting in different tuning and sound. Edit: I'm referring to the Skar box but the same is true for any premade enclosure.

I'll even throw in a rockford power amp or a kicker kx/kxa amp ur choice. But really so u can see how much difference in the actual quality of the bass sounds. U hear notes like u never knew they were meant to sound like that.

Exactly mate, that sub might be ok but as soon as you start comparing it’s value to others it quickly gets removed from consideration.

At full stroke damn near 3 inches of travel. But also it could be the box or just to wide of a port. But that's my opinion it's the subwoofers

Day 1 of asking Parker to drop the bass list. Have a great day Parker and stay safe. Love the videos. Keep being incredibly kind,humble and awesome.

Maybe the dust cap when it vibrates so hard & fast like that, possibly causing the popping noises. Kicker I noticed has been placing that designed cap on most of the subs like that. So far most of the Comp. Or solobarric subs that seems to be the place with the most wear, after constant use.

Cvx are some of my favorite subs

@@a9five If you want a cheap system that hits very hard, get a 12in Audiopipe BDC4 and build a box to 3 cuft tuned to 31-32hz double baffle and plenty of bracing and use that same 1200 skar amp or a 1500 and it will shit on 2 kicker 10s. Those subs are rated for 1100 rms so the 1200 should do fine but the 1500 would be better. That's what I have but I have it on an orion xtr1000 and that thing is no joke, those subs are absolute monsters and smash lows hard. For a port I used a 4 inch pvc pipe at about 11.5 inches long and rounded out the inner diameter edge with a round over bit for better air flow and its the perfect size. You can get a 4"x24" pipe from lows for a couple bucks. Put the pipe up to the double baffle and trace the outside circle and cut it out and the hole will be perfect and tight and have to pound it in with a hammer. Leave it out about a quarter inch to throw a bead of glue or silicone around it and you'll have one great sounding sub that will have your whole car flexing and neighbors pissed.

Cool video Parker

I would love to see the compr in this box and see how it does

Something seems off on that driver, box size/tuning for it or both.

I would like the soundqubed 6.5

only reason why im considering this subwoofer is because of its ts parameters. thinking about slapping this in my camaro and building a custom box for it. i want to keep everthing light as well as i get into street races often so the big 300oz magnet subs like i have in my honda arent going to be helping me out in my camaro what so ever, lol. tryna keep the power handling low but im going to swap to a lithium battery as well, should keep my voltage steady playing full tilt @800w without adding any weight, even losing some.

Great video 👍

I have 3 of these subs. They are a steal

Maybe thats why its a return item... Its half blown out. They tested it at Crutchfield and didnt max it out so they thought it was in good shape and resold it. But its actually defective when pushed towards teh limits. Thats my guess anyway. Unless its way outta the tuning range with that box but I dont think thats the case.

What amp would you recommend for one 12 for best rolling bass

you should do one for the tranchula t5 they bng i got 2 12s by soundstream

Might be the voice coil hitting the backplate. It happened to me on the original 12w3 20 years ago.

I had an older kicker cvx it hit pretty good for what i bought it for only about 150 bucks

@Parker, or anyone who has 1st hand experience.... Which sub is better all around and for what reasons when comparing this Kicker VX 12 to an Alpine Type-R 12?

I've had L7 12's and 15's and they gave off alot of cone noise rattle. It had epoxy under the face of the subs that broke loose rattling around.

I currently just bought two of them what’s a good amp to run for them? Any recommendations I would appreciate!

I want to get 2 of these what amp should I use if not trying to burned them up.

Parker!! Can u compare kicker L5 's and L7's next..?? I love the way the 10" L7's sound and can get really low.. Next, please consider testing and reviewing more 10" subs other than just testing 12"s all the time.. Please test, Rockford fosgate p3s, Cerwin Vega, sundown E10 or E12 v3 series, JL audio w3 and the w6's bc most people can't afford the W7's Maybe review some soundstream subs then test pioneer 10's and 12's.. Pioneer is very reasonable with their prices and slam really hard.. but u gotta get the champion series or higher on pioneer for it to slam You should also compare sub boxes pre built like the black q bomb but for one 10' or 12' Bc I figure more people buy those types of setups bc it's cheaper and the box is already built instead of building one Thanks bro and keep up the good work!!

For powersport applications having to wash off your equipment After offroading. Cant use any other sub in this price range with those power ratings. Would love to see any other brand make waterproof big subs for a can am or rzr.
