summah boy Posted February 22, 2012 Report Share Posted February 22, 2012 Well first Kicker is not really that overpriced you look hard enough you can find it for the right price. Second just like with any other brand Kicker has nuthuggers same goes for most mainstream companies including JL and RF to name a few. Kicker does what it does it beats it is a decent woofer and if incorporated in the right setting will bang. The only thing I don't like about Kicker is the fact that they have Internet Dealers and offer the same price to everyone. You can't really find a deal and it cuts profits for anyone who wants to be a local dealer. Aside from that Kicker can get the job done in the right hands, most noobs will flock to Kicker simply because it's a name to call out. P.S. I hear almost everyday I spend my free time at my dads shop and I do installs here and there and for the most part the shop owner has already said his best selling product is Kicker and Power Acoustik, why? because those who are ignorant to the fact that better can be had for less will only buy what they know. When they here Kicker subs in a trunk and it is loud they want it plain and simple. I am just as sick of hearing about it as anyone else and it is probably the reason I am doing a Kicker system in my Tahoe, if not for anything else to prove a point and win a bet. Well like I said, I'm not bashing Kicker by any means, I used to run 2 L7 15's.... I just hate the fact how kids with NO real knowledge of car audio think if they have a Kicker comp 12 in a prefab box, it will automatically beat your system just because of the simple fact, that "its kicker". so true haha so many kids at my school they have audio systems but they aren't like professionals or they dont know anything at all they buy it and get it put in they dont match the right amps and boxes and then they wonder why their system blows and im like its not that simple idiots and just because you have kicker or kenwood doesn't mean they're good the best speakers your going to have to get online unless you live in california or something which is where all the companies are located haha (they get their stuff from walmart.....really?)

Jaloosk Posted February 22, 2012 Report Share Posted February 22, 2012 I agree.... the only reason it really pisses me off is bc I'm so tired of how we work our asses off for our systems, just to have dumbasses who are completely ignorant talk trash on our systems when they don't even know how hook up an amp, and bought their system with a prefab box and hooked up for them lol Why do you care what a 17-year-old thinks?

Jaloosk Posted February 22, 2012 Report Share Posted February 22, 2012 All you have to do is educate them with your volume knob. If they're on Facebook, then close your browser and go for a walk outside. "Cheap, good or fast. You can only pick two out of three." "Have money? Love story! No money? I'm sorry."

soundstream15 Posted February 22, 2012 Report Share Posted February 22, 2012 kicker is ok, but deff not what people make it out to be, alot of kicker stuff is over priced but online you can get it for cheap, around where i live its all about kenwood, memphis, jl audio, RF and kicker, to me all those brands are not that good at all..i have hered alot of people with system with kicker and all that i named and they told me what they paid for it and shit and its crazy what they pay, all u really pay for is the name, if i ever own anything from kicker it will be the wiring or the cvx but other then that prob nothing else lol now im not bashing on kicker or any other brand i just also hate how people think there soooooo good Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hell when I got my 8 so many people laughed at omg an 8 is only for midbass until I took that 8 (btw bought it and the spider was ripped) through 1000w at it and that bish knocked now they know sundown and will soon know dc it's easy to hush the naysayers just put your car audio where your ears is.

Just say no to prefab! Just say no to Ground Pounder Customs. My temp system build log More box buildssome cars do over 170db with one sub, so clearly my two 12"s can do that in my car, with my knowledge too! look out bitches! I'm with captain stupid.
