I completely disagree with the review of the old kicker competition subs. The C series were some of the most successful and best sounding subs ever produced.

I'm somewhat impressed by the solobaric L7s, they don't have the transient of a lot of subs, but they are very effecient for that style of sub, but I can't justify the cost.

For 21.00 a piece, you can't really go wrong and like the last poster said, you'll have no problem selling them for that price.

There amps are extremely solid performers.

I think you responding in refernce to what I said... I should haven't said sucked ***. Cause they didnt suck really bad, they were decent at moderate... But in their day there wasnt much else out there to compair them to.. I just seen tons of them seperate from where the spider and voice coil assembly was. Torn surrounds on a regular basis. Their reliabilty wasnt as good as some of the brands then. But I beleive their new line as well as there amps are really good. Sorry, opinions are like buttholes everyone has one, and most of them stink 12 years of car stereo installation professional experience has taught me a few things. Its not as much as the quality of equipment you buy, but how it is installed.

Oops, I must have pressed the new thread button rather than reply. I understand where you are coming from, but as you mentioned there wasn't a lot available at the time.

You get exactly what you pay for... if you expect it to sound like a $200 woofer, your gonna be bummed.

Except in the car audio world, where you pay entirely too much for what you get because it has a chrome plated basket, or some bright paint on the cone.

I feel the need to post to this too. Audiobahn does not make the best subs. They make very nice looking subs, and the prices are not bad, but they are NOT the best subs on the market for SQ or for SPL purposes.
