Picking these up locally makes the deal, not the shipping. If you don't get these, its not the end of the world. There's a lot of good subs in the $200-400 range, even for 2.

I just want to max out my amp, and after talking to everyone locally these seem like the ticket. I mean 300 is cheap compared to buying them new for 600 or more. i am still spinning, i hate to miss out on a good deal. everyone said either get these or jl subs, but the jl are said to blow up?

Well, like I'm trying to get at, there's more out there than just Kicker and JL. If you come to one of the local shows this summer, you'd have an idea of what's out there, even more so than picking up a car audio mag (which does help though).

My buddy said they sound good, would sound better in the right box wired to my amp. I will try to get the link, what is the proper required box size? I can only have a box 12 3/8 tall but have 4 ft of width. thanks
If its just bass then why bother with Kicker? That's the reasoning behind buying from the flea market.

The box will play a role, but you will find some subs sound different than others on the same power, even if the difference is only subtle. You might get more out of them with your amp, but try not to "max it out" in case you damage the subs.

In any case, I have no idea what the Kicker specs are, but I think 10''s go in a 1.2ish cu ft box if ported, so about 2.5 cubes. Sealed I have no idea other than smaller.

JL is the best though.

Thanks I appreciate that but it confuses me even more, Davibe said they are only worth $300? What am I missing here?

Car audio magazines and shows are obsolete bro. Its all about Youtube and Onlinecarstereo.com now

I did check a couple of the mag, and saw sooo many different subs for sale. alot of word of mouth was for the JL W6 I think, and then the kicker. I checked out the reviews on the JL and it said the cone was weak and prone to breaking. I kinda want something rugged as I can afford?

"lol" clearly you dont know kids in the country will buy anything. i know exactly what they are worth so before trying to make a snide remark understand what is written between the lines and im helping the guy out not taking his subs. and if u said there "worth" 300$ then buying them for 200 and selling them is 50% profit.. not double like i said but ill take it anyday. so relax and worry about what your doing not what i'm doing.
