blownengine Posted July 12, 2011 Report Share Posted July 12, 2011 Are you using the 8's as midbass or as another pair of subwoofers along with the 15's?

GroundPounderz Posted July 13, 2011 Author Report Share Posted July 13, 2011 haha "budget" and "kicker amp" dont really belong in the same sentence lol they really dont but idk most of my moneys going to the amps and i dont mind spending more i wanna get it good the first time and kickers what i wanna use and idealy id use three 15 but i dont have enough room for 3. as much as like to use all my space for a huge system i have to still be able to load up 8 ppl and a bunch of gear and go party on the beach or in the woods. plus i font wanna add 500lbs of stuff cause i still wheel with the hoe to.

Platinumzs1k Posted July 13, 2011 Report Share Posted July 13, 2011 dont use kicker mids... i have had nothing but problems with them even on low power... gave the so called 100 rms kicker ks 6x9's 50 rms at best! and they blew with proper wiring and tuning.. stay away from kicker mids and highs as they are very very "tinty" in sound... your ear drums will hate you!
