i hear that they are really loud, which i want, but anyone know if they have a clear, clean sound too? i would like to hear ANYTHING you know about this sub. thanks
I was at my buddies car audio shop this past weekend, and happened to check those out. Didn't pay to much attention to the technical aspects of the speaker, but I must say they sounded real nice.
I've never really seen or heard any of these subs but IMO i think Kickers are nice, both SQ and SPL wise but I'd say you go to some car audio shops and look around, see if they carry these brands and ask them for a sound test, in that way, you'll know if it has a good SQ.
The Kickers are more along the SPL line than SQ.
It all boils down to what kind of system you are building. They are a lot of bang for the buck.
IMO I prefer the Alpines Type R's if you are going to compete in SQ competitions.
Not saying the Kickers are bad I have a pair of Comp VR12's that I love and they have great spl but sometimes I find the SQ lacking.
i want to drown out other people's music, but i also want my music to sound sick inside at the same time. my friend says kicker. any other choices u guys think? no competing in sound competitions here, just competition with my friends hahah
the experiencec i have had with kicker is bad. and being a kicker dealer makes it worse. the L7 is a joke. yes it sounds ok but it cant handle the power and cone noise is unbareable. if i were you i would look at JL Audio, Eclipse,MMATTS,or possibly MTX. i have a few bad experiences with just about all brands, but you can never go wrong with a pair of JL Audio 10W3's and a "GOOD" 500 watts. just a little advicee from your friendly installer (get the name now..................nstalr01
You could also check out Adire Audio's Shiva, i have a single 12" and i love the way it pounds plus the good SQ it gives. It's a nice subwoofer for a $125 value.
i have never heard of shivas, and i cant find them on ebay ;(. anyone else have bad experiences with kickers before i buy them? or any other suggestions?
Kicker's new "L" series subs are very picky in terms of air space, if they aren't in the recommended air space enclosure, they will sound like ass, but if they are in recommended air space enclosure, they will sound awsome and pound. I'd get them.
I have always loved kicker subs. I personaly have 2 10" comps (pre-VR series) and I love them. My bestfried has 2 10" squareobarics in his mustang with 1000 watts each. They sound awsome, they pound like crazy. They have exclent SQ and move so much air for only being 2 10's.
A guy I went to highschool with had 2 of the older solobarics in his mustang and it was so loud that it would set off every car alarm in the lot, and drown out my system I had in my Dodge Omni, from 5 cars back.
In short, If they are in a strong enough enclosure they will sound great. If not... I've seen a pair of 12's tear apart a 1" MDF box that was very solid right before my eyes.
When a grisly killing spree in Vancouver left 15 women dead, PETA tried to purchase full-page ads in local papers suggesting that this carnage was no worse than the killing of animals for food.
www.ampman.com is where you can get the Shiva. Id say its a nice sub, I myself own the Tempest (15) and it gets pretty loud and sounds good. Dan, there are other sites on the internet to buy stuff on besides Ebay (Its true, im not kidding)
