Gold Member Username: RedlinerWilmington, Ma Post Number: 4462 Registered: Jun-05 | u sure u have them setup right. cause those subs tend to actually sound pretty decent and get loud. car audio is 10% equipment 90% install |

Silver Member Username: BoomtankRochester, NY USA Post Number: 586 Registered: Oct-06 | I've had a vast range of kicker comps and they have all been reasonably loud on low wrms. like 2 10's on a Ma Audio hk400d in a dodge intrepid trunk and they bumped fine. |

Silver Member Username: Kenny_hammondPost Number: 292 Registered: Jan-05 | its a profile amp and i have the box under my seat...so space is a big factor.... and they are just comps dont get me wron they sound good on low notes but they sort of distort or bottom out when u crank it up the amp is down alot and the output on the crossover is midways i have the crossover set around 80 and the bass boost is midways.... |

Bronze Member Username: Basshead4lifeIowa Post Number: 18 Registered: Jun-08 | turn your bass boost all the way down, your subs will sound cleaner. |
|
Silver Member Username: Kenny_hammondPost Number: 293 Registered: Jan-05 | when i do that they dont hit realy at all ??? |

Silver Member Username: Hittin1Lake Charles, La. United States Post Number: 536 Registered: May-07 | u talking about the single V.C. Kicker comp?... that is scraping the bottom of the barrel. should have at least got the comp VR's... they are a decent , low budget sub.. |

Gold Member Username: Th3pwn3rI compensate... Post Number: 8304 Registered: Jul-06 | You get what you pay for. Well, not always. |
|
Bronze Member Username: Basshead4lifeIowa Post Number: 19 Registered: Jun-08 | since u turned off bass boost you'll have to raise ur gain a bit more, they will hit then. |

Silver Member Username: Kenny_hammondPost Number: 294 Registered: Jan-05 | ok well i have turned all the bass down and they sound ok i think i am going to just go with cerwin vega or jl for my next option |
|
Silver Member Username: Hittin1Lake Charles, La. United States Post Number: 677 Registered: May-07 | just regular kicker comps on 1200 watts!?! WTF? they are a 150 wrms sub. I bet it did sound better when you cut back the "bass". Sayin "Fu(k Kicker" after you made a bad sub/amp pairing is kinda fu(ked up.. JMHO |
|
Bronze Member Username: Basshead4lifeIowa Post Number: 20 Registered: Jun-08 | lol they must have been overpowered by a lot, glad u got the bass soundin better again, upgrade ur subs that can handle what ur amp can put out and this won't happen to you |

Silver Member Username: B3n07Louisville, Ky USA Post Number: 940 Registered: Jul-07 | yeah budy dont say fck kicker because you screwed up thats your problem all kickers sound best if in ported box my opion but the comps blow any ways thats you problem for buying th buy one get one free subs of the year for 50 bucks |
|
Bronze Member Username: Basshead4lifeIowa Post Number: 21 Registered: Jun-08 | i agree with kicker subs meant for ported boxes. plus you got the kicker comps and they the entry level of that brand. |
