sonic is an authorized kicker dealer so if something happens he won't get fucked around with the warranty so the price is going to be higher because of that.

its really personal choice but i like sonic anyways so im bias lol.


as do i, but budgets tend to make people a little more creative, lol

i actually bought the 12" cvr from amazon from discount jungle about a year back was ~75$

ya you get pretty good deals on those sites no doubt, but for me i'd take the 10+good warranty and spend $3 more.

if it were me :/ i'd save up for a p2 or p3 >.> wait i'm already trying to do that
i've figured i need up to 350 for the amp and sub, about 50~70 for the box, and some new RCA's :(......

but i understand what you mean though, alot of my friends have had their shit go bad, just seems either they are doing something wrong, or shit out of luck
i'm not going to Jinx it, but i am not as unlucky

ya i haven't had any issues myself i just figure if someones working with a small budget its best to at least get a warranty so they don't get fucked if something happens to go wrong.

have you tried "make an offer" on sonic for the p3? some pretty good deals when you lowball just to see bottom dollar lol.

my budget of 400$ was close to enough for a "good" system

not possible unless you want to deal with Dual or Pioneer just saying.... guessing you need a wiring kit to? easy 50~100$ + RCA cables if they aren't long enough...

check LSN or craiglist.... but wont be able to get all of it for 150 for anything decent, maybe 1/4 of what you'd need


whats wrong with pioneer? I have 2 x TS-W2502D2|D4 10"s running on a JL 1000/1 and they are better than most other stuff i have had in there.

but 150$ wont get you far even on the cheap side. wiring kit atleast 50-70. even if you go sony explod 12 thats 50$ box 30$ and random overrated amp like 125$

Yes sonic is a good site. My advice save some money. Get something nice instead of working your way up.

sony is just a waste of money in subs/amps

poor quality for a poor price

and pioneer is just shitty quality IMO, as is dual and boss

granted you buy what you can afford, but when you can afford something better, why not buy it?

Buick or not, I'm not sure a 12 foot sub would fit.

you can't just put any sub in any box. unless you know that boxes internal volume its pretty pointless to have.
