Kicker Comps

I can get a good deal on either 2x 10" or 2x 12" Kicker Comp subs.. I was orginally gonna go with Alpine Type R's, I was wondering if anyone has had any experience with Kicker Comp's from what ive heard they do a good job as long as they are powered right, the only kicker thing ive had was some speakers way back when though. 

they will do great in right enclosure powered by decent power.  The Alpines will get louder, and take more  power. but sound-wise, will be pretty close.

What amp would you suggest hillbilly? 

HiFonics 1206, HiFonics 1606. either are pretty good bang for the buck

Where can you buy those? I live in Canada.. 

I've bought all my equipment from caraudio forums or ebay.  9 amps, 7 12" subs, a deck, comps, wire, speakers.  Never had a problem as long as you research the sellers first.  

ebay, woofersetc.com

kicker comps=sucky  I'd deff go with the R's. louder, more excursion, takes more power, and down right sexy looks.
 
I think the 1606 would be too much power for the comps, but just right for the R's assuming their the newer models. Even if they were the old style alot off ppl run them at 500 each.
 
www.onlinecarstereo.com has the 1606 for $230 last time I checked. I'm also from canada and I've orderd from them a couple times and it was fast.
 
I'd say the 1606 @ 1 ohm on 2 12" R's should put you around 145 in the right box....I would hope.

Not a fan of Kicker.  Voice coils are to small for what they are rated at.  Not a huge fan of Alpines either but i would go with the Alpines over the Kickers any day.  Unless you are getting some L7's, I wouldn't waste my money.  Don't get me wrong, Kicker is a great company but I've heard to many horror stories and people wasting their money.

hey esh, how come MTX sponsors you but they cant dish out the 9500's?
 
 
I've seen more L7's blow than any other sub.

yeah i to think that would be to much power for the comps. If you like kicker i would stop up to the comp vr. only a little bit more but they'll take the power and don't sound bad at all.

The Kicker Comps are nice for tight bass, if you want more bass you might want to try some compvr's. Yea hifonics amps are good for the money.

Yeah, are kicker cvr's any good? 

not really.....depends what your looking for.

I have compvrs, they are good. I have never heard anything else and can imagine there is better. But these subs can make my head ache, and my ear drums throb. Thats good enough for me.

How much are you buying the subs for?  I would go with the r's myself.

The dude wants 240 for 2 10" Kicker Comps
And 400 for 2 10" Kicker CVR's
Might as well do the type R's for 250 a piece

Looking on that carstereo site and that **** is way cheaper then anything around here, anyone know how much shipping would cost for subwoofers coming over here?

$250 type r new local + tax??  If so I'm not too sure what online vendor to go with.  Like I said, I've got pretty much everything off ebay.  Shipping should be about $70-$100 US for 2 12's.

My cvr's beat the crap out of the r's . My opinion. 

10's or 12's?

I ordered my components from www.onlinecarstereo.com and shipping was cheap. I belive they calculate it and show you the total price.
 
also type r's are alot cheaper than $250. thats a rip off 2 comps for 400.......burn! on top of that i take it they're used?

I've had both 10's and 12's. I got 2 12's CVR's for 200 bucks. New.

Yeah, so it comes down to alpine R's 12's or kicker cvr 12's? I would think alpine would preform better. Looking at specs anyways.

and take more power
