Yep, and the reason i suggested it to you is because someone on the forum is selling it for a good price. http://www.caraudiocentral.net/forums/showthread.php?t=9015

The box he is selling with it would be worth the shipping costs. With new fronts off your kicker amp, the Q, and a new sub amp you'd be in darn good shape :sm29:

You do realize that the port needs to be a certain size and length to tune it properly to the sub right?

ok now u can get a 15 q and get a nice massive amp, or hell a boat load of other amps at income tax time, u have to match them properly so u dont mess anything up, and that gives you time to learn what your doing a little better. Buy some components for up front, Pioneers are like 280 and they can get as loud as you can handle. And I say 15 becuase if you cant build a box for two twelves its gonna be a pain to create a 8 cubic foot box, instead of a 4.
mmmm inverted 18!!!!:bow :bow :bow

6.75"?... For your Probe... if that's the one you've got the system in... it should be 5.25"... but may be 6.5" (ford kinda went back and forth with those)... the ones you're seeing with crossovers/ tweeters are component sets and that's the type of speakers most would recommend to amp with your Kicker. I would suggest a set of Fusion Powerplant components for the fronts with your Kicker amp to power... Both Terry and I sell Fusion and these are great bang for the buck speakers and well within your budget :thumbsup

Ah an older guy not a kid, cool.

In such case I would highly consider my advice and a few others.

Put that $300 into a set of good comps, drive them with the Kicker. Get a set of Deflex (speaker Tweekers) from Second Skin. Be happy, you music will sound GOOD.

If you want to stay cheaper run just one of the Bahn subs. We usually give them a bad rap around here. They will work, but they are not all that as some people assume. Not terrible, but not god for the price tag at all. The over hype of them tends to make a lot of us mad.

Components is the best bet as always. Its just the tweeter is separate from the midbass speaker and there is a crossover box between them. Its no biggie.

Go for a single set of good 6.5" comps in the front doors.
