Kicker CVR12 (52CVR124)

shaking my head lmao damn...

well kicker has always been a well known brand and made loud efficient subs but me and my girl had purchased 3 of these cvr 12's and have them running on a hifonics zues 2400.1D at 2ohm and they sound super weak mind u I have them set at 2ohms at the amp; is the amp is pulling half its power but still they should bang like the old cvr's. I had recently bought 3 hifonics Hercules and had them running at 0.67 ohm at the amp subs ran in parallel. and they banged but eventually they blew after only 2 weeks of running them here and there they literally were smoking lol.instead of upgrading to the cvr 12's I should've went w the new hifonics brutus subs they prolly would've sounded way better than these kickers horrible im disappointed really ima put them at 1/2 ohm and see if they pound a little better and can handle that zues amp or their goin back...I guess what im saying is if ur gonna ever go w a kicker sub id recommend the solo baric L7 they have always quaked.!!

Better Than Expected

I saw these subs a while ago but looked at the specs and didn't want to purchase them. My audio guy recommended them to me so I decided to give them a shot. I have them in a custom box in a Caddy truck and they quake. Good, clean, bass. Reliable subs, no complaints here. I'm not sure of the wattage handling because I'm not using for competition purposes but I've ridden 3 hours blasting them with no probs.

bad boys

Kicker says it all they will rock you world trust me ive had a lot of kicker products and still do they hit so hard and clear on every note i recommend these.

Great buy

These subs are great i ordered 2 of them. the hit hard and have great sound quality. I would buy again

good sounding subwoofers!

These subs are nice looking I have a 03 Buick century. Furthermore these subwoofers hit hard most people say that you cant have good sound quality with kicker subwoofers however you can it is all in the control settings of the headunit and the amp whatever you do try to keep your gain as low as possible and bass at reasonable level and you will do just fine kicker cvx can take high excursion and most important hits very hard

Clean sound while getting pretty loud!

I installed one in my Supercrew powered by a 400w Kicker amp, and lets just say, I'm more than happy! It sounds so much cleaner than my previous pioneer 12. I would definitely recommend this!

Amazing

I have 2 of these hooked up to an Alpine m-500 amp and they sound AMAZING. Could not be happier with the setup and the sound quality. I definitely would recommend this to anyone looking for good quality subs.

Worth the extra $$$

I have owned 2 of these 12" cvrs for almost a year now and they continue to impress me and my friends. I have had no problems with the subs whatsoever, they are hooked up to an 850 mono block amp and that pushes them just fine. I have even had a small dent on one of the subs and it hasn't effected the production of hard hitting bass that anyone taking the time to read this would find awesome. Overall there's a reason they are called Kickers.

They blew quickly

For me i have a dodge ram 4 door and i have to use a custom box, this box takes allot of the bass away because of the air, if i had a big square box these would bump hardcore but they blew for me, i was playing them less than i played my old subs and they lasted a quarter of the length, i used to have rocksford p3's

i used to like kicker until i owned two of these...

I used to be a kicker fan i thought kicker were decent. My friend had two of the previous model cvr's and they hit hard so i figured the newer model would be as good. I was wrong. Let me start by saying yes i have them running off 500 watts rms a piece but i have the amp cut down and within a minute they start getting really hot and smell awful and they hit nowhere near as hard as the previous model if i knew i would have used the money i spent on these and got a set of type r's or the new type s's for the same price or cheaper. People if you want cvr's get the previous model (the ones with the silver cone) ill never buy kicker again.
