RE: Your take on Kicker
all depends on the speaker and how the drivers were designed. certain speakers prefer on axis with no reflections while others love off axis with windshield reflections. lots of trial and error.

he was asking what other brands are good, and he mentioned jl. all i was doing was telling him my experience with them. why would you have to get all sarcastic? its not like i was telling him his stuff is crap and that my stuff is the best. i was just trying to contribute my experiance to the forum.

I've been around the block, wound up with Diamond in my doors. The D3 speakers on a D1 4 channel will sound great for the price (keeping budget in mind, you can go FAR above the D3 in quality from Diamond). As far as Diamond subs, compare D1 to C, D3 to CVR, D6 to L5 (really closer to an L7,) and Hex or Hex Pro being a MUCH better sub than anything Kicker makes. (Solo-X I don't consider a fair comparison, considering it's SPL only.)
Image Dynamics just plain ID sub or even the IDQ (for great SQ) is pretty sweet on a budget as well. If you're set on a well-known brand on a budget, Alpine Type-S speakers and a Type-R (or X) sub or two.
Amps I'd go Diamond for your doors, and Massive's Digital series for your sub(s). On a budget, just straight Massive amps. Do not, under any circumstances, buy a Boss amp.
You MIGHT want to check and see what your Kicker amp is good for wattage wise. I can't stand Kickers amps, but they have great wires and the amps they put out I have no complaints about other than price/power ratio.
Good luck man, and look for bargains! You never know where you can find a sweet deal. One of the most fair-priced and respected audio shops in Houston (especially with installs, warranties, and returns) is just a guy with three side-by-side booths in a flea market.

sounds to me like the enclosure was not built for that sub and it wasnt tuned properly

I had the 2 x Kicker 10" comp with the box that had the huge port. It was loud but it didn't sound good, and it didn't hit lower frequencies all that well. I'll never buy kicker subs again.
