No Stillwater is not in Korea, I just had my kx700.5 serviced and I sent it to Stillwater, Oklahoma. Now as for the some of the parts they use absolutely come from over there, what can ya do? I won a db competition in 02' with 2L7s in a pretty weak field, nevertheless beside quartz or kappa it's all I'll buy.

Nope but they were making subs when I first got into car audio, and that is well before 97. When solo barics came out those huge horn drivers mounted up under your dash were pretty damn popular too. Never really caught on though. Is stillwater still a part of Kicker or not? I don't know if it is still this way now, but I'd say around 1992 or 1993 Kicker was regarded as the sub to get if you were into rock music.

Stillwater is still Kicker, but I did install a solo x in my neon and it was made in Korea! wtf? Still love for Kicker though. As for how long the solobaric has been around I think the misconception is the square design came out around 00-01, but the round ones were out in the late 90s.

I agree the sound quality isn't the best out there, but they do win db drag competitions. Back in 02' I had2 solobarics and 2 zr1000s and a whole lot of dynomat in the back of a 01 neon and took the 2-3 woofer category. I'll admit the weather probably didn't allow for the best of em that day, but nevertheless I have the trophy. Just not the car b/c in 04' mother nature flooded my area and replaced my car in a river.[:@] I had over $15000 in engine work,body, and electronics in that car and insurance company f%#%@ me. So, I used the money I did get and bought my blazer. Then last year for a college gradution I bought myself an srt-4 and couldn't help but put a little kicker in it. So I installed solo x 10 with a kicker kx2500.1 and put the stock kicker comp away in storage. ok I'm done ranting; the flood rememberance usually gets me quite depressed. what as I talking about again, oh yea Kicker..it still the best as far as I'm concerned.

RE: best door speakers?
I try not to drive mine as it already has 12,500 miles on it and I have only had it since October. It has already been to Arizona and back and it is a hell of a lot easier to drive on the highway than the Blazer. My dad just bought an Outback XT that he thinks can take it so it might be going on the road again this weekend ><.
