Broke_Audio_Addict Posted October 6, 2014 Report Share Posted October 6, 2014 overpriced just means Dealer Protected. the forum guys say that about all the stuff they can't afford. they say that about Diamond Audio, MTX, Rockford Fosgate, etc.... Just look at how the this forum were such nut huggers on RF when Steve was still building his Tahoe. now RF is dealer protected so the forum now says their overpriced. strange how Sundown and DC just as expensive as MTX, RF, etc.. but yet they aren't overpriced?Not everybody says it's overpriced but it's true that a lot do. Usually they are just looking at retail prices and if they would take the Time to walk into a dealer they would find you almost never pay that price. sundown, and DC are cheap compared to Rockford on a $ to watts ratio DC 2k $600, sundown 2k $540, Rockford 2500 retail $1600 but you can get them for around $1000. That being said a lot of people's definition of "music" is a clipped 30 hz sine wave with some 80 IQ knuckle head grunting about committing crimes and his genitals.

kingsuv Posted October 6, 2014 Report Share Posted October 6, 2014 I think a good number of people who use "retail" brand gear don't understand expectations nor do they have the gear in the right setup. It's pretty easy to say something sucks when in the wrong application. Designing, building, and shipping boxes. Yahoo IM - kingsuv00If the listening level is too loud, please inform the driver, so he can promptly pull over, and let you out. not many cars can get me to pluggin my ears but this one.......damn. I mean the first minute is ok but that thing just really starts digging deeper and deeper in your earhole till you cant stand it no more. Seems like it does it with relative ease....16 12's on 8 amps.........gotta love it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
poorfish88 Posted October 6, 2014 Report Share Posted October 6, 2014 Hell yes, Stillwater Designs a parent company to Kicker used to make some great subs... The old C18 and C18a were monster subs. And the newer solox 18 motors are pretty good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I got hdc315's and will tell you flat out that kicker is overpriced. Not bad just overpriced. I can find a better brand in any of the kicker subs price range. With that said I have the 4 inch dash speakers by kicker. I suggest you learn some shit before you talk some shit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

yurvalentine Posted October 6, 2014 Report Share Posted October 6, 2014 I've had a DX400.4 for about 2 years now, it's been reliable as hell. Never had a single issue, and it sounds great. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mcfalcon Posted October 6, 2014 Report Share Posted October 6, 2014 I have 2 cvr 12s in a ported box in my corolla. Pushing them(I mean not pushing them) is a kicker 750.1. Cheap amp kit that is better suited for speaker wire. Prefab box and port from store. No upgrades whatsoever. The CVR is rated for 1000 apiece. I figure I may be giving 175 possibly 200 to them and they have still rattled the car apart. Im not talking windshield flex but everything rattles now. Im not saying they are badass but I have recently learned that for the $2500 that I have into that I could have done a whole lot better. Edit: So what I am saying is they are not junk compared to what is out there. But for the same price you can do a hell of a lot better. Still learning but have started gathering.
