RainStryke Posted October 7, 2014 Report Share Posted October 7, 2014 Audison, Alpine PDX series or JL HD series are a few i'd say are worthy of being "top end." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thefourth Posted October 7, 2014 Report Share Posted October 7, 2014 I live the idiots the base their opinions on kicker being sold in Walmart. Rockford fosgate is sold on Walmart.com..... Must be trash too right? You kids... I swear Thanks alaskanzx5 I might just do thatI can recone a sub myself. About a year ago I took 2 12" power acoustic mofos and made one sub. I took the magnet and the motor off of one and j b welded it to the other motor and magnet. I had to wind my own voice coil so it would work. After I was done hooked up to 2 boss 5000w amps. And shattered my back and all my side windows came to this thread to recommend soundqubed and ct sounds. OP goes with soundstream. oh lawd.

Must be trash too right? You kids... I swear And any company out there would love to get their products sold at Walmart. 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.

Jhunt94 Posted October 8, 2014 Report Share Posted October 8, 2014 I feel the same way about Kicker that I do about JL and Memphis.Yeah, they have some good stuff, but would I ever be caught paying the prices for their products when I could get something better for a lower cost?

hoit Posted October 8, 2014 Report Share Posted October 8, 2014 although the first time I ever heard subs in a car, (don't ask the year) they were some pioneer 12s bumpin some dj magic mike "feel the bass". however, the first time I heard a system with kicker subs, I was just absolutely amazed...and I can probably refer to that moment as the defining point of finding "the love" for the industry! kicker will always have a warm spot in my heart...and I still rock some cvr 12s in a system. my current infatuation of sundown audio, however, is uncompromising...as I continue to be astonished by their product, customer service, etc... to answer the OP, id say that kicker, who was once one of the industry standards, still continues to make quality product, but I personally feel their peak has come and gone. 2007 Chevy Aveo Ls sedan 2 Sundown Xv2 on scv4k @ .5 ohm 2 pair RE XXX 6.5 components on sax200.4 @ 2 ohm Big Three, Three runs 1/0 power from front to back, 1 ground front to back Two runs ground from rear bank to chassis XS power d3100 upfront, 3 Odyssey 2150s in bank Singer 220 amp alt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BlackPanther Posted January 28, 2016 Report Share Posted January 28, 2016 I know this is a old ass thread, but I just ran across it. There are different markets for different people. My first love is and always will be Kicker. I go way back with them to the 80's when the audio industry was just getting it's feet really wet. I was born and raised in the south. Tampa,Fl to be exact! Back then car audio was all we did. The dope boys were the ones with the baddest and hardest hitting systems around because they were the ones who could afford that stuff back then. Bass started in the south! Bass Rock Express, Throw That Dick, you old cats remember and should know what I'm talking about. Young cats don't even bother. Kicker along wIith US Amps, Cerwin Vega, JL Audio, and Earthquake just to name a few! With that being said, Kicker makes some good shit! The industry has caught up and passed them in certain categories but that doesn't make their product bad. Different strokes for different folks, like any other product manufacturer. One thing for sure is the amps are solid. Everyone I've ever owned has never let me down no matter what setup I was running. Just because Kicker amps don't run below 2ohms doesn't make another manufacturers better then them. Like someone else mentioned, power output isn't the only important thing about an amplifier. Not everyone wants a power house amp. Not everyone wants big ass amps taking up half of their damn trunks or install areas! By the way a KX2400.1 can be had for $750 putting out at or over 2400 watts at 2ohms. I would say that's pretty damn good and decent for that amount of cash! There a number of subs out there that can be run off of that. I don't think anyone can argue that. I leave with Alma Gates use to whoop a lot of ass with her Kicker setups back in the day! RIP OG!
