Different strokes for different folks. Kicker definetly bangs compared to many brands out there. Are they high-end? No. But for the average listener looking for something just loud, they definetly get the job done.

And $100 for a box isn't out of the question, especially if it's custom and/or ported. Don't get mad just because most people can charge 5x what you do. They wouldn't charge it if people weren't willing to pay it.

 

whoring the market with slashed prices does nothing but hurt the market, if you charged 10% more for your work, you have to do 10% less work for same money or same work you make 10% - and a custom box for $100 is way below normal shop prices, hell it is even lower than cc or bb prefab boxes. it gets down to charge what you are worth - cheap prices normal mean cheap work!!!!!!!!!

 

o man, its just wood. 100 bucks is rape!

 

a house is just wood and concrete , 175 sqft is murder!

 

Eh you can make Eminence sound good. But running an active set up is not easy nor cheap.

 

if kicker sux as you say why do they have cars in national comps that WIN and are featured in magazines and everything??? i know they're not the best or anything but as far as bang for the buck they are hard to beat. he doesnt want to spend 500 - 1,000 dollars for 1 speaker!!! ive heard a lot of different speakers and i can tell you that there are MANY speakers not even nearly as good as kicker. i will tell you again in case YOU missed it you can hear my system from over a 1/4 mile away. and a far as the 100 dollar box it isnt made of wood. if i wanted a wood box i could have made it myself for like 30 bucks. so is that to say anyone who pays more than 30 bucks for a sealed box is stupid???

 

because they arent SQ competitions..

 

^ok but this thread isnt about SQ competitions, i dont think that anyone only wanting to spend 300 bucks cares about SQ comps. he wants something thats decent and wont break the bank.

 

Hmm wanna get techincal? What's the loudest a Kicker vechile has hit?

I know at the recent DbDrag a dude hit 172.x with a SINGLE Fi BTL. I'm not sure how many Kicker cars have hit that high.

O ya, that sub cost $350.

 

ehh maybe 35. And I would like to test your 1/4 mile claim as well as challenge your garbage kicker system to come out to the next meet. I bet you cant break 130...


All I wanna see is one kicker system that doesnt involve 20 subs or 10 daisy chained amps put out some decent numbers... say like 137 off a single 12? mid 140s off dual 12s? It will never happen. Why? because kicker goods are all about brute force. Its like paying 100 people 10 bucks each to go beat up one black belt karate master. They might be able to do it, but they are still 100 retarded people that just beat up one dude.
