I agree with you sinister. Call kicker make it known their reps blow...

I too am curious as to what you got for that money... I hope it was more than just that amp a box and a sub. :bigwink:

yeah that amp retails for like $500 something... hell id pay $400 for the amp and two Comp Vr's... but im cheap.. and id build my own box... but you can also get an amp for around $200 and them subs brand new for around $200 (well not the new ugly chromy lookin ones, the old ones), and spend around $30 for the MDF, screws, liquidnails/silicone..etc..

Buidling your own box is so much more cost effictive. And is fun!

You also know that you box is built sound and well!

I've never bought a prefab'd box...

These are Canadian prices I should mention and I made sure the prices were the same everywhere even in different cities.

i could of hooked you up with an autotek amp that does about that for 400, a couple elevation audio comps that sould do better than 1 of those for 200 and some DLS or bravox speakers for less than that, 200 for 5x7's i have never heard any kicker coaxs with that so i dont know about those. i hope you get it straightened out.

Yeah, I hope he gets an ear full from Kicker but we will see. From now on I think I will order from the states. These guys in most of the shops I've been to don't deserve the customers they rip off. Thanks for the info.
