truthsayer Posted October 14, 2013 Report Posted October 14, 2013 Ok, before i get bashed here. Lets get it straight. I cant stand kicker amps and subs. But their ks and Qs speakers are out standing. While i have heard several of the crescendos, i think the kicker ks series sound much better and get extreamly loud. I went threw some infinity's, Jbl and pioneer's that just couldnt stand the abuse. Then when i found out i had a old high school friend who worked at kicker, i decided to give them a shot. I was able to get get 2pr ks693's for less than the cost of 1pr in the store, i just had to try them. Glad i did, haven't regretted it for one minute. I have abused these things for 2 yrs now and they still sound great. Anyway just my two cents. truthsayer
K_SubieXT Posted October 14, 2013 Report Posted October 14, 2013 Finally got the CZ's installed. I think they sound pretty clean and they didn't seem to have the peakiness the Infinity's have. They aren't as loud as the infinity's, but that is probably beacause the CZ's are 4ohm and the infinity's are 2ohm. The midbass also has more kick. I am only running 75w to each door and they seem to want more power. I am happy with the CZ's. I will be buying 2 sets for the wife's Nitro when I start that project. So they're completely worth the money in your opinion? I've always just ran $50 co-axials and am hoping to hear a huge difference with these being my first comp set My 95 Jeep Cherokee Build: http://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/topic/157643-1995-jeep-cherokee-build-sub-is-in-and-playing/

Comparing the KS to the CZ's might not be fair....the frequency response of the KS goes down to 35 hz while the CZ is only good down to 60. Also, the price range is almost 100 bucks more for the kickers. The KS might be a little more comparable to the Mezzo series.

Thats cool. Im way too old to be upset by shit like that. Your name is winston. Your own parents hated you even before you were born. My penis is bigger than your penis I'm far from loud and my roof/headliner flaps around like Adam's ass on a windy day. I think it depends more on the structure of the vehicle.
