but if you are looking for best sound with lowest price tag bestbuy offers two options, both better than the sony in my opinion. one is the dual setup with the bandpass box and any amp with a little power, the other is a brand called insignia. there is a package with two twelves and an amp for like two hundred bucks and then a box. i put those in an integra the other day and they gave me a headache really loud they just lack clarity. and if anyone is wondering the insignia name is an off brand usually made by larger companys like power acoustic, lg, etc.

hmm looks like u are trying to promote bestbuy. But I saw your post and jus had to comment. 1st bandpass box suck if not tuned correct by professionals. 2nd " insignia" a brand lower than the explode. bid are on ebay for 1cent and saw buy it now $9.99. i doubt power acoustik makes it they make(pa,spl,kole,soundstream). last i did some lookin and told that bestbuy makes them. also that insignia and bb have the same address. "don't know for sure but that is what i saw". so with post i just wanted to clear some things up not bash.

the only reason i say power acoustic is bc we have subs that used to say power acoustic on them and now its the same sub including the model number except it says insignia on them. the reason it says best buy makes them is because best buy pays other people to make them, same with tv's and stuff. and i dont mean to promote bestbuy i just am there almost everyday and have to know about the stuff so i know a little about it. i happen to own a set of comp vr's myself and think their awesome just not the cheapest subs i ever bout

Weak? If broken in correctly the CVRs are anything but weak. I've been pounding my 15" CVRs for more then two years. Kicker subs are built better then ANY sub in the price rage. Just because you might know a genius who blow a kicker before breaking it in, does not make them weak. Kickers are worth every penny, and they aren't even expensive I got my 15"s on sale for $100 a piece.

EDIT: Also don't buy anything from best buy unless you want to pay more. Find out what type of subs and amp you want, then search for the best price. CLICK HERE for a list of good online stores.
