And just because Kicker has won some competitions, doesn't mean it's necessarily a good sounding speaker. I'm sure if it's an SPL vehicle, they were using the SOLO X subwoofers. From what I've heard, these do not have a very desirable sound. They are loud, but do not sound too hot. I've never had the chance to test one out, so I can't say...
But I HIGHLY doubt that Kicker has won SQ comps. At all...

I remember seeing a guy with a pink ex cab s10 at Reso a couple years back... Haven't talked to the kid in a minute. Can't even remember his name. Wow, I suck.

I have a pair of S8L5s and I think they sound pretty good especially considering the tiny .36 cu. ft. boxes they are in.
Don't forget the impact of configuration and tuning. I've heard the same equipment in different vehicles and the sound was completely different.

Yes I did go to public school you *****.
I install sound equipment and out of all the different subs I have heard kicker is the best. I have two 12" kicker CVR's and they are the ____ I have the loudest best sounding car in my town. If you think your stuff is the ____ bring it.
