I've seen kicker do stranger things to support owners.

Kicker is usually pretty good about hooking ya up.

i COULD send them back for repair but its been over a year since i took them out of my truck and i dont think they will give me another one. i suppose i could call them and find out tho.....

you can send the sub in for repair.
soldering a tinsel lead is a bad idea because if ya use the wrong technique or solder, the lead tins, and becomes stiff. Then it won't work properly.
As for the other sub, "OL" means that coil is shot. yes.
you should be able to get kicker to replace or repair that one too though.

i will be giving the sub about 420 watts (rated at 600 rms)
im pretty sure im gonna do box #3...just wanted some input from ppl who have had experience w/ ported...ive been sealed for the past 3 setups ive had

My subs are in 2.5cuft each tuned to 28hz and I listen to a lot of rap and it sounds great.

If you have the room, go for #3, if not, I would go #2. You don't really want a tiny box unless you are giving them about their rated power.

ok...now i dont know a lot about vented enclosures as this is my first try at one. will i be better off with a higher or lower vent tuning frequency? i listen to mostly rap and metal. i like my music to be loud but hear lots of frequencies. ive heard of ppl complaining about not hearing certain frequencies from their sub in a sealed box. on kickers website they have 3 different vented enclosure designs.
#1- 1.25 cu. ft. box tuned to 45 hz ("compact")
#2- 1.75 cu. ft. box tuned to 42 hz ("street bass")
#3- 2.25 cu. ft. box tuned to 38 hz ("spl/deep bass")

keep in mind...i want the sub to be loud and still sound decent...if possible

Generally, anything exept directly behind the sub is fine.
