[QUOTE="Buck, post: 8792219, member: 591582"] This, typically. I kind of like kickers, but only if I’m not paying for them and they’re in a massive box. Kickers have a decently larger Sd (cone area basically). So, one of their 15’s isn’t a 15. It’s significantly past the cone area of a round 15, and the motor and suspension design just doesn’t seem to be the greatest, so they are kinda like big floppy farters, but they can get pretty loud easily in a big box. They just don’t have a powerful cone movement, and that’s usually a weak or poor motor design for the applied power levels. Musically, I’d do a big box with a fairly small port for the older ones. Except the solo x’s: big ports. Kicker still isn’t as bad as Memphis. Memphis is one of the worst in like name related price-gouging. Both of those companies seem to do a lot in advertising, like they’re more of a giant corporate type mind state, IMO. Memphis and Orion and Massive subs all remind me of each other. American Bass puts more effort into their designs, IMO. I really like American Bass’s woofer design. I’d get the HD’s or one of their 3”-4” coiled models and call it a day. American Bass and Soundqubed (Audioque) and Digital Designs all seemed to share extremely similar models or philosophies, at one point. Like at a certain point, the DD 9500 and AQ HDC3 series were very similar design styles. And the AB HD used to have the exact same t/s specs as the SQ/AQ HDC3 series. All of those companies have or had a somewhat similar design style, so any of those 3 last companies make good woofers. AB and SQ are way more price friendly. [/QUOTE]
