Throw that BOSS out of the equation immediately. Kicker and JL are both nice, though JL is nicer and costs more at that. If you want to save some, get the kicker, otherwise get the JL.

Denim, why do you say that?

eD makes great products for the price.

Also, customer service is great.

Can you say the same with Kicker?

Do you have experience with both companies?
