no everybody is wrong kickers are good the whole setup is what counts yeah get the solerbaricsbut ya gotta get a good kicker amp to get the cleanest bass and ya gotta get a 4watt per preout deck and some good mids and highs i always go with infinti's they are compatable with alot or alpine

kicker subs are good.i have a pair of old school solos and i gaurentee they pound.half the reason most these kids have problems with kicker is because either they have a lack of power on them,or they have them in a shitty box.

"Kicker" and "clean".....isn't that an oxymoron? :lol:

*sigh*

yes they hit hard. if you ever listen to anything other than rap though, you'll hate yourself for buying them.

and kicker should really work on their R&D if the box specs they hand out will make "shitty boxes"

for your average kid that wants bass. kicker isnt bad (assuming they like rap).. there really not bad sounding with alot of rap, and there new 06 stuff is even better imo. they tunned the boxes at a higher frequency so there not AS sloppy anymore

Youre right everyone else is wrong. Kicker is known for sound quality :roll:

Kicker amp for clean bass?????

4 watt per preout? You mean 4volts?

Infinitis are compatible with Kicker? Arent they compatible with anything? Alpine speakers? Unless you get the type R or up they sound like hot muddy garbage.

I have an A/B amp because I live on a budget. an A/B amp will put out the same power a D will just less efficiently.

Eminance makes some hot LCD products. do some research they have some good shit in mobile video.

i've been all up and down google and i can't find dick about eminence, other than some company that makes replacement speakers for guitar amps.

That's probably them. Actually, Eminance is one of the oldest speaker companies around. Back in the day (and probably still) they made many of the speakers sold in shops...Redline, early Orion, Pyle, were all rumored to be eminance. They also make some horns.

Now, they are primarily a pro sound company. They make some pretty serious stuff for those applications...100+DB/1W 8's and 10's for horns, etc.

For cars, they're really only used for 'sidewalk' music...you know, music you can hear on the sidewalk. I have seen some really good installs using their stuff, though.

Man, I'm going to buy a POS civic and deck it out in Pyramid equipment just to prove that that crap can be made to be halfway decent.

I of course, reserve the right to rewire the component boards but ill leave the ugly cases on the hardware.
