Wicked Cas Questions...

I've pretty much decided on the Wicked Cas, since the JL Stealthbox is way to weak, and a regular enclosure would take up most my rear space. So, now I'm stuck between this....

Should I get the Wicked Cas 12" enclosure or the 2x 10" enclosure? If I got the 12" I was thinking of putting a Alpine Type-R in there...and if I got the 2x 10" I was thinking of putting Kicker CVRS, or 10w6's, what do you guys think?

I went with the 12" and like it fine. It is like a damn disco in my rig.

Re: Wicked Cas Questions...

Go with 2 10's. If you have more then 750W of power, I would go with the W6's. If you have about 500W, I would go with the W3's.

You could go with this enclosure also....

Re: Wicked Cas Questions...

Ok, since I know these subs very well I went with them.
They are 600w 10" Kickers, and they pound like nothing else.
Buy the Kicker 10" Subwoofer (CVR10) and other Car Subwoofers at circuitcity.com
How long does it take them to get the Wicked Cas to you? I'm prob going to order it on Wednesday.
Oh, and the AMP I am buying is this one...
Buy the Kicker Mono Channel Class D Amplifier (06ZX7501) and other Car Amplifiers at circuitcity.com
It says 750W's but it's certificate says it's peak is 947...plenty of power, I won't need a cap will I?

Re: Wicked Cas Questions...

One more question, I have never installed subs in an enclosure...do you simple screw them into place after putting them inside? I will be taking it to Cartunes to get the amp hooked up, but I was going to go ahead and put them in the enclosure if it's an easy task....

I'm running 2 JL Audio 10W6V2's and they are very clear, powerful but not boomy!

You asked how long it would take.

Here's my personal experience.

I called on approx 4/3 and asked Nazar how long it would take to get the single 12" box. He said they had just caught up and they would get it out by the end of week. I called again on approx 4/9 to just confirm that it had shipped out the week before. He said, we're just getting ready to box it up. I called 2 days later and he said we're almost ready to send it out. I told him I absolutely needed it for the install starting 4/16. He told me how much extra it would cost me to ship it expedited. I told him that I didn't want it expedited but to be sure and send it the next day or I wouldn't accept it. It showed up approx 4/18. Unfortunately, they had "forgot" to drill the holes in it for install and forgot to send the mounting hardware. I called and asked him about it. Now at this point he was very apologetic and admitted that they "screwed up." He told me they had a template for drilling the holes but he couldn't send it to me. Well my installer figured it out and came up with hardware. The overall quality of the box is pretty good but not great.

In conclusion, the fact that Nazar at least got the box to me (albeit a week later than promised) and admitted that he "screwed up" bought some respect from me. So, I still think he's worth dealing with, but he seems to be a little overwhelmed right now with business, so be sure to allow some extra time and don't absolutely plan on having it at a certain point.

Sure -- good luck with the new rig. Oh, as far as ordering somewhere else -- you could order from fjaudio.com -- maybe even a bit slower but at least they're upfront about it and it looks like a quality product. Again, I'm not unhappy really, just giving you food for thought.

Re: Wicked Cas Questions...

Well...I already ordered but if I remember FJAudio's one is like 600-700$? As long as the Kickers fit, and it looks decent, and it mounts fine...I'll be happy, the only question is where the heck do I mount the big amp? lol
