Aftermarket sub in stock sub enclosure
 
Hey guys I have recently accepted a new job that requires a lot of travelin on my part and i need the full space of my trunk back. I want to put the stock 10 inch enclosure back in there and put either a kicker cvt or rockford fosgate p3 in there. I can get them both for about the same price through my sponsor. I have a 1000 watt 2 channel performance technique amp and a performance technique power cap. Which would be the better sub to go with?

brickloaf 03-23-2009 06:32 PM

i say rockford

kickers are nice but over rated IMO

{TEAM ADRENALINE} 03-23-2009 07:41 PM

yea but like i said i can get them for exactly the same, actually the rockford is 10 bucks more and they r both year warranty

bump

EmperorJJ1 03-24-2009 12:35 AM

if i remember correctly the P3 is spec wise more adapt for smaller enclosures but choose whichever u prefer

Sp33dyG 03-24-2009 01:57 AM

P3 over kicker

{TEAM ADRENALINE} 03-24-2009 05:28 AM

so it looks like im getting mostly p3 votes. Like I said it's about the same price so u guys honestly think the p3 is that much better

good luck fitting it in, only one that i found that fit was a kenwood, thats of course with out modding either the box or sub

wow u must fail than because we have tested all 3 and all 3 fit just the lip on the sub needs to be ground down slightly because the sub is too wide.lol

Rage915 03-24-2009 04:04 PM

thats what im saying u have to alter the sub or the enclosure, the kenwood i got fits just right, no modding needed. no need to get defensive bro its ur money do what you will. goodluck with your subs hope all turn out good and you get what you want

blk ss/sc 1 03-24-2009 04:08 PM

hey man.. let me know how it soiunds after u get it in there.. I wanna do the same thing with possibly the same sub.

sorry bro i didnt mean to sound defensive.lol. Yea it just takes slight filing nothing major and as to black ss/sc or watever dude it sounds good for being wat it is. I mean it's no blow ur windows outta the car sub but it gives u good bass and equals out the rest of my system very well

How does the P3 sound relative to the OEM sub? More output?

SS SCHGD 03-28-2009 12:30 AM

it's got more power going to it then the stock so it has much better output. Can't really compare them on different amps.

VictoryRed06 03-28-2009 12:50 AM

how hard was it to do that set up with the p3?

Killa SS 03-28-2009 12:59 AM

wut about the pioneer 1200 watt 300 rms.

SS SCHGD 03-28-2009 01:04 AM

I didn't find it very hard,

pull the box,
pull the stock sub out,
seal up the whole in the back,
pull out the wire,
run a new wire,
and drop in the P3.
(I might have had to trim a little of the opening in the stock box, but not much)
and put back in the trunk,
connect to new amp and your good to go.

Same RMS, and the P3 shallow comes as Dual VC 2 and 4 ohm versoins. (easier to match a amp) Personanly I like the RF subs better then the Pioneer speakers. But take a listen for yourself.

EmperorJJ1 03-28-2009 01:07 AM

1200 max? what is pioneer doing these days trying to be like boss and pyle?

VictoryRed06 03-28-2009 01:09 AM

awesome bro thanks :twothumbs:

think i know what im doing to my car next

thanks for the help man thats exactly wat im gonna do tomorrow. As for the pioneer it's a nice sub but no warranty sucks balls

SS SCHGD 03-28-2009 09:31 PM

lol, do people expect to break things now adays?

EmperorJJ1 03-28-2009 09:55 PM

fuck yes they do... alot of people have absolutely no respect for their equipment and just trash it

SS SCHGD 03-29-2009 12:39 AM

thats terrible...I search up all the info I can find on something, and then decide if I want to get it, and expect to keep it for a long time. I make sure my components talk well with eachother and Won't blow up the other one. and if they do, I ussually upgrade. (and if it's DOA then I will send back, but thats almost never anymore)

EmperorJJ1 03-29-2009 12:51 AM

lol its been so bad at the shop because people come in and say i dont want it loud. mind you with all custom boxes, real awg wire, and plenty of good cheap amp power (refurb fosgate 300w for 120, fosgate 1000w for 250) its hard not to be loud yet people still just crank it to the point they completely destroy anything and everything
