imoa totally w*** and a waiste of money, I've heard nothing but bad reports on them, and the 2 kickers I heard were well sh**e, you can get much better subs for that price or a little more

thats just my opinion others may have different veiws

[Scott]

agree with YM03

far better and cheaper http://www.caraudiodirect.co.uk/product_info.php?products_id=2982

[jonesyFX]

you ALWAYS recommend that sub scott lol, the RMS aint that much though on the RE? would it give me good bass?

[YM03]

Can't beat the RE range like Scot:thumbup: , think I linked him to that sub couple of wks back, not sure thu

[jonesyFX]

can you recommend an amp for it ? dont wanna break the bank

[YM03]

you ALWAYS recommend that sub scott lol, the RMS aint that much though on the RE? would it give me good bass?

thats why people keep recomending it as they are under rated, and it will sound a lot better than kicker

[jonesyFX]

amp ? ....

[Scott]

RE make GOOD stuff, not this over rated pap that other companies churn out saying that it will take 300 wrms but over 1000w peak. I mean thats just ridiculous. Plus the RE will take far more than its rated all day long. My XXX is rated at something like 1400 wrms, well thats where the warranty stops people have ran them all day long with far far more than taht.

Much like JL and there power figures

[YM03]

cheap amp that will run it nicely

[jonesyFX]

anymore recomendations?

[YM03]

give is a budget to work with

[jonesyFX]

200 max

[hagg]

The L5 is not a bad sub for that money, problem is they get bought by people because they look good, get run with a cheapo amp thats heinously underpowered, stuffed into some off the shelf enclosure with no thought for volume requirements for the desired sound, the list goes on... and then people say they sound poor. Focal subs are worth a look, not sure on price ranges though.

[YM03]

vibe slick A7, good amp and if you shop about get one for£190

[jonesyFX]

so tht amps ok ? says 4 ohm at 300 rms tht rite for the RE ?

[YM03]

wire it paralel and get 2ohm load that will give you 600wrms

[DaveWard]

I have never rated Kicker subs and I dont know why people have a big thing about how much power a sub can handle. Unless you either want the become deaf or compeate in sound offs it dont really matter. I have heard sweet sounding systems running with a total of less then 250w RMS for everything.

[reevesy_vtr]

NO NO NO NO NO all the ones we sold went pop and came back then i have to get a knife, cut round the rubber, then cut round the spider pull the voice coil crush that in to a jiff bag and sent it back to kicker. then they say the customer over powered it and we tell them that that is that and we get the shit from the customer. imo go for the pioneer tsw 3004spl, we sell loads of them and never get any probs and they can take what they say they can.

[DaveWard]

Why do people recomend that Pioneer SPL sub? Its needs a lot of power and is not that good sound quaility wise at all. There are loads of better subs for the money.

[jaybiss]

but dave people these days who havent heard a proper spq setup just want large bass that can be heard miles away

and im sure the guy asking about kicker is one of the above...........

[deek06]

ive got a kicker competition 15inch sub that ive had a year and i think it was worth the money and im running it with a jbl gto amp and rockford fosgate punch 6x9s it gives good bass

[YM03]

not more 6x9's I'm of to bang head on wall

[b0t13]

u have 6x9s and a sub. you opinion is going to be taken into serious consideration :S

my mate had a kicker 15" comp and he had it a week before he sold it to use his old vibe 12" sub, they aint that good, go for something else!

[djjoney]

not more 6x9's I'm of to bang head on wall


dont go giving yourself concussion chris :mental:

[YM03]

dont go giving yourself concussion chris :mental:
lol bit used to it now:wall: :wacko: lol

[DaveWard]

Maybe we can start are own demolition business. Powered by idiots!

[reevesy_vtr]

the pioneer subs sound great. i dont know where you have herd them, they are probably underpowering them.

[YM03]

lol Dave there'd be some money init as they just keep on coming lol

[Scott]

Oi you buggers dont steal my thunder i was the original 6x9 hater here! Just glad i have some more back up now :Y:

[YM03]

its startin to mount Scott:Y: , but its just like a none stop invasion, they just keep coming back lol

[djjoney]

me and sean always wanted to wire up a pair of 6x9's to his jl 1/1000 mono amp,, just to obliterate them :P

[Scott]

i have some old 6x9s sitting in the garage, always been tempted to give them some with my vibe mb4 @ 1 ohm :evil:

[djjoney]

lol do it scott :P and make sure you get some photos of the carnage :wink:

[YM03]

thats an idea there john, just put seans comp and amp in mates car(sound so good) and ripped out the 6x9's could hook them up to my 1000/1, should be fun:thumbup:
