I would have to say that in this case the kicker is the better choice. Memphis makes good amps, but as far as subs go, i would have to say that they are so-so.
i'd go compvrs, but the mclass is more comparible to kicker comps...not compvrs.
M3's are more comparable to compvrs...and to tell the truth, i might take M3's over compvrs. (i have messed w/ both M3's and compvrs...both are pretty good subs.)
the only memphis subs i have messed w/ are the M3's...pretty good for the $ if you ask me. (desent SQ, and can get loud)
i built a ported box for my buds 2 M3 12's and ran them at 1ohm on a jbl bp1200.1 w/ an FMOD, they took the power like a champ. the box was like 4-5cuft tuned to ~35hz...pretty loud too, i need to get he to get it metered.
(may be able to sucker him into going to mccomb, ms this week end...gonna be a crazy lil comp there...only thing is, he'll be in my class )
I wouldnt go with that, because that is something that can be fixed rather quicly. Blow his fuses and make sure that there arent any replacements around.
i built his box, so its no rivalry between me and him. but the comp is gonna be great...quit a few loud people are gonna be there, prolly 2-3 162db+ vehicles.
i'm in mod 301-900, so i dont think i'm gonna be coming home w/ 1st in my class. (being that i have 1 jbl bp1200.1 and you can legally run 3 kx1200.1's in that class...and walls are legal )...oh well, i'll have fun getting smoked. lmao
I'm still wonderin' what I'll be hittin' since my box is sealed and will be in my trunk. I am happy though since I just bought 100% mech. and cosmet. perfect Viper D2500.1 with plugs for $222 hehehe...
