scratch what i said i guess i was wrong.

see this is where i think they are different... the 04SSMB6's, I think are different than the new ones. Unless the 04 stands for an Ohm rating... But i think those are a 2004 model speaker. Check other stores besides Etronics because the prices definitely vary

The ss line from kicker is pretty dang nice... I wouldnt mind having a set of the ss components....

thanks for the advice! I was on the fence with those AA's. The kicker's retail for $199, but Etronics has them listed as $66. The model # is 04ssmb6. Same specs, same product description, I assume the only difference between the ones they're selling and the current product is the grills. On Kicker's site, they mention that the SS were updated to match the rest of the line..or something to that effect. Either way, I just bought them. So, we'll see what happens when they get here!

Well I'm sure the AA's are well made speakers, but in all honesty I would question their output and quality if they are selling them for $35 each.

If you get midbass drivers, build a small sealed enclosure for them, you will notice a huge difference.

Well, I think I'm going to go with the kickers...unless someone has anything to say about the AA's...

by ryboto » Sat Jul 15, 2006 10:05 am

Well, I'm not necessarily looking for louder, just the bass response that my midranges lack. I know I shouldn't expect a lot from such a small cone, but, I'm gonna try. I think I might go for the kickers, although, I do like the lower power handling of the AA's. I still can't decide!

by MobileAudio219 » Fri Jul 14, 2006 8:33 pm

If you can get the ss' for the same price as the aa's that would be a pretty good deal... as far as which one to go with, thats a good question, dont think you can go wrong with either... the aa's might be a bit louder though....

I'm going to buy some midbass drivers, but I can't decide between the Kicker SSMB6's, or the AA Poly 6.5. I found the older style Kicker SSMB6, just has a different grill, for approx. the same price as the AA's. I don't have any experience with either brand, so, and suggestions would be awesome!
