Default Just installed a new sub and amp need opinions

I just installed a Directed d1200 amp and a 10" kicker comp vr sub (in the kicker small enclosure box) Should I ditch that sub abd maybe get the JL Audio 10w6, and if I do that, would I need to get a different enclosure?

Dont get me wrong It hits pretty good, but Im not happy about the sub. I only purchased this sub as a recommendation from the installer because I wanted to keep trunk space.

Also they installed the box with the sub facing down, shouldnt it be facing up

Wow, 2 hours and some change. Impressive.
Keep in mind that the CompVR is a lower end Kicker model and the 10w6 is a near top end JL model, over a $300 difference in retail price. Plus, the compVR likes bigger boxes, 0.8 to 3.0 cubic feet sealed.

Don tlet Dave see this post.....he will let you know what he thinks about Kicker....

JL 10w6 is a MUCH nicer sub, but the enclosure has as much to do with sound as the sub itself.
