has anybody had any good experience with kicker subs?

i was going to buy 12" sq kicker solo-X subs... if there was a way i would buy the 18" ones but doubt they could fit anywere in the hatch


here the specs of the 12 inch solo x

ModelS12X
Size (IN.,CM)12, 30.5Weight (lbs.,kg)47, 21.3Max Rec Amplifier Power (WATTS PEAK/RMS)*5000/2500Sensitivity (dB 1w/1m)87.7Frequency Response (Hz)20-100Mounting Depth (IN.,CM)8-9/16, 21.7Mounting Cutout, Square (IN.,CM)11-1/4, 28.6

 

Are you really planning to give that sub 2500 watts RMS?

If not, I wouldn't bother. The square Kickers have a reputation for lots of noise with decent sound quality. The question is do you want noise or music?

 

lots of noise reputation as in? and yes im planning on buying one amp for each sub try and find a 2500 watt amp

 

The square Kickers are loud but only ok in sound quality.

Are you looking to compete in SPL competitions? or just get your car bumping? or what?

2500+ rms watts is way to much to have balanced music. The only reason to run that much power is for competition. Have you ever heard a setup with that much power?

 

i have a 15" L7 with a 2000w rms amp on it...that thing is plenty loud...i had it in my camaro with a 3.5 cube box slot ported..and the box was so big it sat on my seats that are folded down..was a pain to see out back..i would stick to twelves at least..unless of course you're going competition...

 

with that set up i hit 145 db...

 

yea my friend had two 15's kickers squares same as yours in a cavalier and i loved the bass and bump to it good for a back massaging tbh lol

 

I run 2 12 inch Kicker CVR's and absolutely love them. I used to run 2 L7's in my Jimmy and those sounded great too. I have had nothing but good experiences with my kicker subs!

 

Been running 2 Kicker comp 10's mounted in my fold down shelf for 4 years now and love'em. Now I all about 1 cubic foot per, but easy install great sound, light weight and cheap. I also have a Bazooka 10in in my IROC. Again cheap/light and effective. Motor'in, whats your price for flight...........
shawn

 

im a big kicker fan as u can see by the pics. they are 3 kicker l5's 600 rms ea. ive got a kinetik bat/cap with a interstate battery up front. the amp is a rockford fosgate T1500-1bd 1500rms amp, pioneer cd/mp3 head unit and all four doors have 6" pioneer speakers and it bumps some serious bass.

yea im going kickers for sure i just hope i can fit 15" in the hatch which i know i can.... going to get a custom box though and maybe a custom thing that goes over the hump thing for the two amps or one and a capacitor

 

that should work just fine. I have a 15" L7 in a custom box ibuilt myself. It bits hard as hell.

 

Just remember that the more bass you make, the more the panels shake.....

Make sure you sound deaden first or all you will hear is your car rattling.

Why not look at some JL 12w7's they would hit low and hard.
