Re: im inlove =D(kicker subs)
they are loud but poo sounding?
that's my opinion anyway for 90% of their product. I have gotten a solobaric to sound good, but to do so you need a large sealed box... something around 1.5 cubic feet per sub, and you need a really good amp with lots of onboard capacitance becasue they are power hungry buggers. i put a kicker 1200.1 in my buddies car (dial back to only 400w) with a single solobaric L5 12 and sealed his ported 1.5 ft3 box. it actually sounds very decent. |

Re: im inlove =D(kicker subs)
i run KICKER......in pretty much every toy i own and my home. fixen to be running a MX700.5 (marine 5 channel amp), 6" marine components for the doors, and a couple 8" cvr subs, and a set of KMT6's out back. you think wow that boat is gonna sound nice....but its all for my 4x4, just in case i see any water in the cab....better safe than sorry
![]() i just got done taking out two cvr 8" subs out of our 02' grand pre (traded car in took stereo out). i ran them on a zx700.5 which gave each of them about 210watts a sub, and a bandpass box firing threw the center arm rest and it did a 137db on an TERM LAB meter.......not bad for two little 8's let me know if you need any info, i bet i might know a thing or two ![]() as for the poo committ goes i perfectly understand to each his own opinion. i wish we could make everyone happy. but its also my "profession" and my opion to say a lot of setups are done incorrectly/wrong sub for the sound/and or wrong amp for sub/bad power supply for the setup/wrong box for the sub/ these are what can make ANY company sound/perform like poo....trust me i hear it 8hrs a day, all about the good, the bad, and the ugly. l8r.....

Re: im inlove =D(kicker subs)
here is our old set up we did here in house with our WARHORSE van.......i know what you mean about being tooooo bass heavy
![]() ![]() i will try and get some photos of the new setup (12) 15" subs ![]() this is what you see here: (4) solo X 18" subs, (2) warhorse amps, (2) ZX650.4, (4) sets of ss components, and enough power wire, speaker, and rca's to rewire a small town ![]()
