jp-kustomz Posted December 8, 2009 Report Share Posted December 8, 2009 kickers are good but they either work good or they freeze up after you pump a bunch of money into them and kicker usually doesnt warranty there product very well...i would go with the fi 95 Delta 88 10 inch fubar(2 MB Quart RWE-352 15" on way soon) 1500.1 crunch kenwood KDC-MP642U Jp Kustomz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bills Posted December 8, 2009 Report Share Posted December 8, 2009 we have had kicker l5 10's in alot of the rides at swat that compete. we have a jeep with 4 tens under window line that will do a 53 and change on dash. You guys know me not to lie. The kicker subs are ok imo, you have to know how to work with them. and we put a butt ton of power on them too and they take it. well, butt load for a l5. and the L5's are louder on meter then L7's so ya. putting this out there from a guy who runs dc and has ran Fi Bills KwB Team DC Audio Midwest captain Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kicker Guy Posted December 8, 2009 Report Share Posted December 8, 2009 Here is my benefits for the SSD:- Easy to recone - Better built quailty (the L5/7 are known for beening glued on cheaply and cheap Voice coils) - Better costumer support - Better Power handling - doesn't need a huge fawking box - Cheaper - Sounds better Anymore? I had 2 12s SSDs and they sounded way better than my L5s and somwhat louder due to it not needing a huge box. Go with Fi, Kicker just has the brand that's it. Period. Better built? I dunno about that... been running Fi for years. I have had a 18 inch 12 spoke break before... Had a motor shift before (just last week from hitting a pot hole lol). Costumer Support is about the same in my experiences tbh. Sound Quality is all install.... Every company has good things and bad things, get what you want and deal with them.

JBurt09 Posted December 8, 2009 Report Share Posted December 8, 2009 Truthfully this is some of the poorest grammar and spelling I've ever seen used by anyone over the 2nd grade level.... I only bolded the parts that were gramatically incorrect or spelled incorrectly. Also bolded the parts that made absolutely no sense, but didn't want to just highlight the entire post.Besides that I love how you care accurately predict the outcome of comparing woofers that you've never ever seen in person... Let alone actually owned, tested, or heard besides on some Youtube videos. Just because you've never seen an FI product in person doesn't mean that it's nowhere to be found in the public eye. Try attending a real competition and I'm sure you'll either run into one or there will be folks there that know plenty about FI. You clearly have no idea what the fuck you're talking about. So to prevent you from looking like an idiot with another post like this, I'd suggest actually doing a little research, knowing the products you're attempting to compare, and use spelling/grammar check on MS Word. Spoken like a true champ.I completely agree with what has been said.Fi is available to the public.Anyone with internet access can buy them.And as far as Fi at competitions, just look at who the top trophies are going to Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
