2 Kicker CompVR 10s vs Tempest

[phrozen5100]

I just recently bought 2 Kicker Comp CVR 10s and an Hifonics Nemesis NX600. Right now I have the Kickers in a sealed Audiobahn box w/ about 1.5 cu ft each, but they're just sitting in there because I plan to ditch that box anyways. Before I go and waste my time building a ported box I'd like to know if the Tempest would be much better SPL wise? I would be able to run my amp at 600w bridged @ 4 ohm so I think that would be plenty of power for it. I listen to mainly rap so I was thinking that I would most likely make my own ported box for the Tempest. Aside from that, I'd love to show all the RF and Audiobahn using dumba**es at my school up w/ a brand they've never heard of. Any advice?

The Tempest would definatly be a big improvement. But That amp might be a little on the big side, just turn down the gains and you should be fine, you really don't need 600 watts for a Tempest.

To what sub would the Tempest be comparable in the right box?

[CVStroker]

I'm guessing it could compare to a 15" L5, but better sounding.

I agree Tempest ported will do quite well. Comparably to a 15 L5 naw ocmpared to a 15 L7 depending on the install etc...

How would a Tempest w/ proper power and in a ported box made to specs compare to 3 JL 10W6s in a medium sized sealed box w/ a 500/1 amp?
