i think that kicker is a very important part of the future of its a chnage that was ineveitable and one i wanted to make 2 years ago but for different reasons the timing wasnt right but this year was different it made a lot of sense. im looking most forward to the sx amplifiers and comp vr woofers, and you are right, the addition of kicker will make for some cool installs in the future, look for 4 solo x 18's in a gmc sierra this summer
