FOR $300

I'm stick between a rock and a hard place on this decision. I can get 2 Kicker Comp CVR 12s with a 1000 Watt Lanzar amp

OR

FOR $350

2 Cadence Beast 12 in a box AND 4 12 Inch power acoustic subs WITH a 1500w power bass amp ( 6 12" subs total )

I need help...I personally dont know much about Speaker brands just to make sure Im getting my moneys worth.

i have always dealt with cadence and they are an amazing company, however i have not dealt with the beast series subs personally but if they are anything like the rest of there products i would go with them.

I appreciate all the feedback its making my decision a lot easier. I could probably sell off the other subs and try and get some money back. Who knows. I just hope they sound good in the CTS-V.

What kind of amp is the 1500w? Cadence are very good subs, but you could always get the $350 deal and sell it off piece by piece for more. Back to the amp, be careful with off brand amps they can do more harm than good sometimes. Also compare ohm loads of subs to the handling capacity of the amp. You can blow subs or burn up amps easily with the wrong combo. PM me if you want some more info. Hope this helps!

T-Diddy

he said the 1500w amp was a POWER BASS amp. i think my plan is to do how you stated and sell it off piece by piece.

Yo Mite53, wanna head up to Newport and look at em?

I use to do that back in High School. Easy way to make some quick cash. That amp sounds kinda sketchy!! Most off brand amps are overrated meaning 1500w is actually 800w.

T-Diddy

Well Im gonna take a look at 'em and find what condition they're in. Ill keep ya posted

ive always ran kicker subs so i would vote for the first set but i dont hold to high of hope for the amp tho.

Are the Cadence's Beasts, or Wild Beasts, they are two different models. Neither are made anymore, but the Wild Beasts BEAT! They are very power hungry subs, so you better have a GOOD amp to push them. Ive got 2 10in Wild Beasts in my work truck, 500rms, and a Alpine 1000w amp, and they DRAIN that amp. Could really stand a bit bigger.

Powerbass makes real good budget amps. And Cadence Beast or Wild Beasts were good subs. I think it might be hard to get your money back on either though.

T-Diddy

remember, It would be 2 CADENCE BEAST and 4 audiobauns= 6 !2" subs total

I remember, and my point still stands

I thought you said they were power acoustic subs not audiobahn. If they're audiobahn then take that deal and sell them off.

I totally mean no offense by this but the brands you are mentioning are VERY budget oriented. The Cadence subs are ok for a budget application and Powerbass does in fact make some good budget amplifiers. I would stay away from the Lanzar amp and the Kicker subs are still in the entry level realm of subs. I do carry all of those brands and only would recommend the Cadence amps and subs or Powerbass amps if a strict budget was necessary. For a bit more money you can get some much nicer equipment that would compliment a car like that nicely.
You have a Cadillac CTS-V which in my opinion is a VERY nice car!! Most of the brands you have mentioned are in Honda Civics with the huge wing on the back kind of stuff because that's all a 16 year old can afford. I wouldn't recommend any of those for a car of that calibre. Please don't take offense to this as I mean none but putting those in your car just doesn't seem right. With a car that nice you'd want to put some nicer quality pieces in your car that focus more on sound quality.
