Bought an oldskool Kicker Substation
I was browsing local kijiji for a while now to try and find an old school Kicker KS80 substation. One finally popped up and it was in mint condition. Seller was asking $75 bucks, so I offered $40 bucks and he accepted. Cant go worng ! 
So I went to pick it up today. To my surprise, it was owned by an older retired guy in his early 60's. That explains why it's in such great shape ! It came out of his wifes Acura integra hatchback back in the day.
This sub is from the time when kicker car audio was actually a higher end car audio manufacturer, made by stillwater designs in Oklahoma U.S.A. from the mid to late 90's, not like the cheap kicker of today where it's made in China !
This 8" subwoofer box is small, very lightweight and compact (18 x 9 x 9), delivers some clean low frequencies, perfect for a CRX. All I need now is to buy an amp for it.
