    kicker vs kenwood

    i am trying to decide between two different setups which are:

    Kicker ZX750.1 and ZX200.2

    or

    Kenwood KAC-9103D and KAC-6202

    which would be best for sound quality and overall durability? should i go with kicker over kenwood?

    Re: kicker vs kenwood

    I have never really been a fan of either, but if I had to choose id be Kicker. I for some reason dislike Kenwood to the fullest, IDK why...

    Re: kicker vs kenwood

    I hate Kenwood but the amps are good, from a SQ point of a view I would use the Kenwood. Kicker can drive hard but they dont have the best internals for SQ. I would go Cadence for SQ in the same price range Just my Opinion though. Just like A$$holes we all got one. What are you gonna be running?

    another questions, can i run the kappas at 4ohms or do i have to run the mat 2ohms?

    Re: kicker vs kenwood

    I had the those exact 2 kicker amps in my wall install like this:

    They were ok, I didn't really like the sound of the 200.2 (too focused on tweet volume, bad midbass SQ). But I'd still take them over the kenwood models you mentioned

    Re: kicker vs kenwood

    nice setup man. since my infinity speakers are 2ohm and my others are 4ohm and i can run them off the same amp, i am goin to look around for a kicker 4 channel amp and go with kicker. thanks for all the replies.

    Do you mean you gonna bridge that amp to run the fronts and the back together?
    Your better off just running the fronts.
