these Kicker 12" any good?
NEW Kicker Comp VR 12" 800 Watt DVC Subwoofer- 53% OFF! - eBay Subwoofers, Audio, Video, Car Parts, Accessories, Cars, Bikes, Boats. (end time 13-Mar-08 22:37:28 AEDST)
just seen those subs on ebay... i want 2 12" subs for my car which has a pretty good (a little bit older) alpine deck and MB Quart 6x9's n splits... theyre only running off the deck at the moment but in time i will be buying an amp for them and obviously when i buy the subs ill be getting one for them too. i dont know a great deal about what makes speakers and subs good, so yeh what u guys think of these?
hey mate i got 1 of those subs in my car, and its flipin awesome, best sub i have had...to get the most out of it get the proper kicker sub box for it. u will need a very good amp if you want to run 2 of them cuz they are 400wrms each.
i've only got the one but i cant play music at full volume for more than 10 mins or my ears start to ache lol. 2 will be insane.

hahaha awesome... thats the kinda response i was after. any idea what id be looking for in an amp that will power them?Originally Posted by VH commodore
not too sure bout the amp, it would have to be a very good one to power 2 tho...i got a responce 2 channel amp bridged to 1 channel (2 channel it has 150wrms bridged it has 500wrms) this amp was $250 from jaycar it won 1st place in some car audio mag for bang 4 ya buck or something...i spose u could get 2 of them or 1 big mother.

from personal experience they are a really good sub, worth the money you pay for them but like all subs they need to be powered right and in a properly designed box and they will sound fantastic.....
note: im pretty sure comp vr is the best round kicker you can get without going crazy and importing...
true ^^ next best are the sqaure ones starting at $650 each
Spend a little more and buy a DD512, Better sub thats hand built in the US.
mmm bass
lol yeah buy my 2515's =] 750wrms for $250
i have the that kicker sub and it doesnt sound as good as i hoped i have the 500wrms repsonse amp. the lights dim badly for some reason and it just doesnt punch as hard as i hoped it would. any tips how to make it sound better and what lpf frequecy sounds the best? i dont have a kicker box just a big vented box i got from autobahn.
mmm bass
its because the vented box is not made for the sub. Ported box has to be built to suit the subs specs whereas for sealed you can pretty much throw in any sub and it will sound "decent" enough. try building a custom box for it and it should sound better

the next ones up are the L5 solobarics.... there not that expensive
THEN the L7..... (would be around the price you mentioned)
THEN the monster the Solo X...
ill block the hole and see how it goes thanks
Awesome
Hey man they are awesome subs, ive got 2 of em in the back of me car and they go so hard!! i am running em of an amp that runs at about 250rms and the subs total are 800rms... yet they still make my ears hurt! recomend em highly man!
Ciao, Bevo
it sounds better now that ive sealed the box. but all my lights dim bad when i turn it up. anyway to fix this?
lights dimming would have something to do with your alternator or battery or a bad earth connection, could be a bad earth from your battery to the body of the car possibly try running another wire from the negative terminal to the body. also they run twice as good if you use the proper kicker box as its suited to that sub.
ok ill try running the neg straight to the amp i have ****laod spare cable. how much is just the box is the a vented/ sealed version which sounds better?
