November 16, 200816 yr Author if its doing a 146.6 at the headrest now and i upgrade from a 150watt rms speaker to a 400 watt rms speaker then throw not 2500 watts to them, but 5000!!! It had better do 150? 3.4dB difference, why would that be so doubtful?
November 16, 200816 yr Above a 150? Hmm...kind of doubtful but maybe! I think he can do it! Go 4runner!
November 16, 200816 yr if its doing a 146.6 at the headrest now and i upgrade from a 150watt rms speaker to a 400 watt rms speakerThe RMS alone has no bearing on how loud a sub will be.Hypothetically, if you have a 150 watt RMS speaker which was 91 db efficient and put 150 watts on it and a 300 watt RMS speaker that was 87 db efficient and put 300 watts on it, which would be louder?
November 17, 200816 yr Author Well i didnt get that technical with it, but the CVR's have more excursion and more power handling? So naturally i would assume it would be a great deal louder,...the comps and the cvrs look almost identical other than rubber surround, and longer throw....hmmm ill look into it a little more before i make my decision!!! Plus the box would still work the exact same i do believe....cuz kickers recommends the same cu ft for both......
November 17, 200816 yr well if kicker designed the cvrs to be louder than the comps. then you will see a difference

They are built to be a better woofer, that is enclosure and install dependent, but theoretically a better woofer.
