@Jimi, Plz tell me more about your magical 5300 watts! Amps that put out true RMS power don’t have odd numbers like that, also add in that L5 15′s are only rated at 750rms each, meaning 1500rms total. Please learn something about car audio before boasting your imaginary knowledge.

LOL what?

If they sell good enough they will move from overstock or discontinued stock. Just like fosgate did with Lighting Audio replace dust caps and speed up production with less expensive materials. I'm not a kick fan but if you like em then go for it.This just shows how a $300 sub could go for $150-250 and still make profit. After the initial start up and if mass produced will cost only $30-70 depending on the brand.

lol i remember when i picked up a single 12" Comp in a horrible prefab box around 2 winters ago, and put it on 2000wrms

thing lasted 30 seconds and froze up. couldnt move it with my 200lb body weight

LOL my first system back in like 07 was a pair of Kicker Comp 12's with a RF P300.1, in a sealed box. Then I was told by a shop "Hey man, buy this 1200 watt Performance Teknique amp! POWAH!!", so I believed him and bought it and it ended up making them hit less as hard and me not knowing anything I was like "Fuck this shit, I"m getting some CVRs! Fux Yeah!", before I got the CVRs I had my comps on full clip (knowing that now) and they never failed me, CVRs same thing I'm sure, last me about a year til it was stolen from my Caprice.

Who cares though, Kicker is entry level stuff aside from the Warhorse (Not sure about the DX line of amps they will be selling, don't they do rated power at least?). Walmart is where Entry Level bass heads go, they will soon catch the audio bug and upgrade their stuff. As said many times, the install plays a bigger role than the equipment. Help out those entry level guys with a nice install instead of bashing Kicker.

somehow the surround also ripped a good 2-1/2 inches also

weird shit happened to that comp when i put it on that much power, max bass boost and full sensitivity

Very smart move by them IMO.

Audiophiles are the minority. They want to appeal to the masses...sorry a business made a BUSINESS move.

Let's be real. Most of us stopped giving a shit about kicker a long time ago so who cares where they sell their stuff.

LOL that was me. I meant it in the sense that when have you ever seen an amp that said "5300watts", whether its a solid amp or not. Just about all amps will have a nice even number like 500, 1000, 1200, 1500, 2500, 3000, etc. The only time you would run into say like 3753rms is birthsheets from underrated amps or clamped power of an amp (correct?) but I didn't want to divulge into all that, just wanted to get across the point that the guy is not putting OVER 5300rms to 2 Kicker L5 15's lol.

Crescendo is rated off like that. Like the bc3500 is 3875 watts right off the website.

bestbuy is going way the hell out of business.

wouldnt be surprised if they closed within the next 5 years.

walmart will stay in business because of their low prices that bestbuy cant compete with.

the only 2 things keeping bestbuy in business is: their geek squad and their online store

Lmao....what the fuck difference does it make what number they put on the case or in the manual?

People need to stop reading so much into ratings...it doesn't reflect the ability or quality of the parts inside the amp in ANY way.

I mean....if I put "400 Watts RMS" on the outside of an Audiopipe AP1500 did it suddenly just become an AWESOME amp? How about if I put "4000 watts MAXX" on the outside of a Sundown 2500? Is it shitty now?
