i would call kicker everyday for a week straight and if you know anyone else who has been there get them calling them. the day i would treat my customers like that is the day my doors would be closing.

I always try to be nice at first but it never seems to pay off. I'm not looking to make a friend with the guy so word of mouth travels very fast. I am going to get kicker involved with this one because the guy has to learn somehow. So I will do just that Sinister Audio. Thanks.

ya people like that and other shops that are out there to just screw people and not for the love of it is killing stereo shop reputations also pimp my ride is doing that too but thats a differnt subject.

"also pimp my ride is doing that too but thats a differnt subject."

Right you are, i'm all for that show but the things they do, and how they do it are just plain pathetic. Its alright to watch when i'm super bored but other than that i'd rather watch clifford the big red dog....

a single CVR 12" on the kx600.1 should be plenty in that truck. something is very wrong here. I heard a single JL 12W6 in a utility truck the other day and it sounded great. Your setup isn't very different.
I'm thinking you should change the enclosure, and make sure the amp is getting good current to power the amplifier properly.

JL 12w6 in a small truck like that, i bet that hit damn hard!

I agree with you kik something is seriously wrong here...

I have a friend who had 2 JL W610's in his sierra reg. cab. He sold them and now baught three of the Aniversery(spelling?) addition to put in there, says he is gonna run all three of em, im interested to see that. Yes the other was insainly loud. I would think one cvr would be plenty. One is alot in a guy's 83 el camino at school, thing gets crazy loud.

The thing KiKi is that the sub has lots of excursion but hardly any Bass. I have tried anything and everything to get that thing to produce a good level of kick without blowing it. I have to turn the amp down so low that I should have a smaller amp because it just isn't worth it. I have heard Kicker subs produce but this setup is pathetic, it's either listen with the volume down along with everything else as in gain and boost or listen to the thing slap. I had a couple of MTX 12" sub's that right out of the box nearly blew my ear drums in my F-150. They were run by an old second hand pioneer amp that I bought for $100 and didn't even think would work. I would play those subs for hours so loud I woud get a severe headache and crank them at bush parties until we were to drunk to drive. They would shake my back window so much you couldn't put your knuckles on it without beating them like hell. This kicker sub makes me so frustrated and I get even more irritated when the guy keeps saying gee it sure sounded great when it left the shop, yuk yuk. If I want to hear crap subs I would have used my blown 12's because they sound better than this. Grrrr... could I have some cheese with my wine because I've been whining about this forever. I just want a sub that will shake my vision like the good old days.

you should check out asedent or how ever its spelled they have an awsome deal out right and can get an atlas 12 for 100 bucks, id jump on that after i got the money back from that guy and beat him.

Is that an online deal? If it is, what is the address?
