im inlove =D(kicker subs)
 

i just put a different 10 in my setup so far I've tried out 2 bazooka subs and one digital audio the digital audio did good but man i just put in a kicker solobaric 10 and wow that junk made a difference...that joker is loud....does any one else run any kicker brand speakers...and what do u think of them

Re: im inlove =D(kicker subs)
 

they are loud but poo sounding?

that's my opinion anyway for 90% of their product.

I have gotten a solobaric to sound good, but to do so you need a large sealed box... something around 1.5 cubic feet per sub, and you need a really good amp with lots of onboard capacitance becasue they are power hungry buggers.

i put a kicker 1200.1 in my buddies car (dial back to only 400w) with a single solobaric L5 12 and sealed his ported 1.5 ft3 box. it actually sounds very decent.

i run KICKER......in pretty much every toy i own and my home. fixen to be running a MX700.5 (marine 5 channel amp), 6" marine components for the doors, and a couple 8" cvr subs, and a set of KMT6's out back. you think wow that boat is gonna sound nice....but its all for my 4x4, just in case i see any water in the cab....better safe than sorry :lol:.

i just got done taking out two cvr 8" subs out of our 02' grand pre (traded car in took stereo out). i ran them on a zx700.5 which gave each of them about 210watts a sub, and a bandpass box firing threw the center arm rest and it did a 137db on an TERM LAB meter.......not bad for two little 8's

let me know if you need any info, i bet i might know a thing or two :lol: (read sig)

as for the poo committ goes i perfectly understand to each his own opinion. i wish we could make everyone happy. but its also my "profession" and my opion to say a lot of setups are done incorrectly/wrong sub for the sound/and or wrong amp for sub/bad power supply for the setup/wrong box for the sub/ these are what can make ANY company sound/perform like poo....trust me i hear it 8hrs a day, all about the good, the bad, and the ugly.

l8r.....

i dont complain about kickers.. now that their prices are descent..
but....
you gotta tune them the right way.. otherwise you have a ton of bass and an **** load of distortion

Re: im inlove =D(kicker subs)
 

here is our old set up we did here in house with our WARHORSE van.......i know what you mean about being tooooo bass heavy ;) :lol: like you said set stuff up correctly and you get zero distortion (Oscilloscope)

i will try and get some photos of the new setup (12) 15" subs :devil:

this is what you see here: (4) solo X 18" subs, (2) warhorse amps, (2) ZX650.4, (4) sets of ss components, and enough power wire, speaker, and rca's to rewire a small town :lol:

I used to run just 1 12" Kicker CVX with a 700 Watt kicker amp.. That was PLENTY for me. that CVX was loud.
