Posted August 28, 200916 yr well i had recently bought a new Truck. I got a 09 F150 single cab. Im currently running a sealed Box my cousin made that fits behind my seat im semi limited in space becuse it's a single cab. The box is 4ft long by 12"deep 12" tall to a slant i belive 6" top and the Box is insulated. It's also sealed in the center between the two subs. TO make two different compartments. My cousin had told me it was better to do it that way and i belive one compartment is semi larger then the other He claims " it will make 2 different tones.Now my subs sound pretty good imo i have yet to do a distance test to tell how far you can hear it But i have heard from some people you can hear my truck from around 150 yards. The CVR's sound really good But i was thinking of Up grading to CVX x2 becuse i know they will fit in the current box im using. Now my question is, Will my Zx750.1 Power two CVX's and give me a better Deeper louder Bass. I mean i am happy with my CVR's im still working on tuning them with my Kenwood-KDC-X693 HU, as well as my Amp.HU link http://www.kenwoodusa.com/Car_Entertainment/In-Dash_CD_n_DVD_Receivers/1-DIN_CD_Receiver/KDC-X693IMAGE LINK [post soon]IMAGE LINK [post soon]IMAGE LINK [post soon]Also if anyone has any input How i should have my Gain levels set for proper tuneing on my HU or on my Amp Id really aperciate it My gain is about half way the Xover is around 70-90HZand the Bboost is set at 9-10 out of 18 my Head unit is usly around 0-+5 on the Base boost and the 5 band internal EQ i belive are all set to +3 to +4 across the board. from band 1-5. I will post a image soon of my current setup. Im also running a CAP on this setup. with 4Guage Wire. Edited August 28, 200916 yr by vial
August 31, 200916 yr Author I am a little confused as to what you are asking.what im asking is will the zx750.1 power two 12" CVX kicker'sand what proper settings i should have set for my CVR 12"s via amp and head unitThanks

The amp wont make them shine but it will definantly get them moving ( I have around 700 rms give or take a little on my 3-12" CVX's and they sound good).Get the dual 2 ohm version and wire them in series to 4 ohms each (they will see a final ohm load of 2 ohms).

September 20, 200915 yr the cvr will bump if in the right box go ported if you can running 2 cvr 12s 2ohm with a 750.1 kicker like you got hit a 138.3 spl low was 136 something that was in a bad box. i would recomenting a ported box will make it get louderjust my 2 cents but i dont really know alotand i dont thing a 750.1 can run 2 cvx 12s in my opinon.

Underpowering subs is not a problem, i currently have 700 watts on 3-12 cvx's and they sound lovely and hit hard for the power thats running to them (which is only a third of power).

I am kinda new to hooking up my own systems. Thanks guys
October 28, 200915 yr Author This is what i am Currently working withMy cousin had wired these. As you will see him in the Picture. He is the one that made the box for my Truck aswell.Now MY spearks are wired where their is a speaker wire from Pos to Neg on the top of each sub on the rear. Then there are two mor pos and negatives witch are ran from earch sub tied togeather witch run in to the amp. Im not sure if this is correct but they sound correct the Amp dosent heat up. but the Driver side sub on of the Wire hookups that go from the frame of the sub to the Cone inside. Had poped and looked heated like the wire was burned. Was a Clean break But couldnt really tell it was burned untell you stripped the wire back. I had Soddered a New clamp to the wire and back to the fram the Sub still works. But i had still ordered two CVX's Im wondering if my amp was just pushing to much power to the subs or if i had them wired wrong. If someone could please post a proper wireing for 2 ohm CvX's/CvR's to a ZX750.1 amp i would greatly aperciate it.I plan to install the CVX's Friday. Thanks, Steve.
October 28, 200915 yr Author they are wired like this. Is this proper ? MY speakers sound like they are Barking ATM. Well my CVR's are.i just wana make sure i dont mess up these CVX's
October 29, 200915 yr they are wired like this. Is this proper ? MY speakers sound like they are Barking ATM. Well my CVR's are.i just wana make sure i dont mess up these CVX'sYeah thats how they can be wired, so wiring shouldnt be a problem.
October 29, 200915 yr Author awsome thanks Now Will i be able to drop the CVX's in to my current box that the CVR's are in ? or will there be a depth issue.
October 29, 200915 yr Turning The Bass Boost Off At The Head Unit And The Amp As Well Would Help, And Future Removal Of The Capacitor.Welcome To SSA, By The Way.
October 29, 200915 yr Author On your box dimensions, are those external or internal?oh internal Edited October 29, 200915 yr by vial
October 29, 200915 yr I think you're going to have a mounting depth issue since CVX's are 8 1/4" deep.
October 29, 200915 yr I think you're going to have a mounting depth issue since CVX's are 8 1/4" deep.Actually thats the 15" CVX's mounting depth, 12" CVX's mounting depth is 6 5/8" and the 12" CVR's mounting depth is 6 5/16" so mounting depth shouldnt be an issue just depends on how much room is left behind CVR's but you should be good. Good luck and let us know how things go.
October 29, 200915 yr Author No problem.awsome thnx guys for the info. Im going to try and drop them in today when i get home from work i hope my neibhors arnt asleep its going to be midnight when i get home from work Ship Carrier: UPS Tracking Number: 1ZY3759X03556226xxStatus: Delivered Location: Porch Order #: 102-2110134-8373xxxShipment Date: October 27, 2009 Destination: WHITE LAKE, MI, US Track your package Date Time Location Event Details October 29, 2009 05:44:00 PM WHITE LAKE MI US Delivered October 29, 2009 06:05:00 AM PONTIAC MI US Out for delivery YAY!lol so my Girl is pissed i ordered my subs, Lol she was like you can't wait 2 months i was going to get them for Xmas for you...i was like ehh So i was like uhhh you can get me a new amp Now any sudgestions on what one i should ask for lol.....
