I've never seen any kicker subs that didn't have a kicker emlem on it some where. I know my firts gen cvr was rated at 500rms and a 1,000max. It was also a dvc 4 ohm sub. It like either sealed or ported. Go to kickers website and find it or I can do it for you. Anyways I think yout friend is pulling your leg.

Is there a kicker sticker on the magnet/motor or does the sub look lie a sub that's from a home audio set up? If it's a home audio sub or some cheaply made sub I would either give it back or build a huge box and use it at home. BTW is it dual voice coil or single. Also get a volt meter and find the ohm load on it. If it's an 8 ohm load more than likely it's a home audio woofer given the description of the sub.

i have a feeling their home audio subs...b/c my mom has a 12 in her car n i just hooked it up in there...and there was bass..but it sounded horrible...n it looks like there was a cap in the middle but it came off b/c there is glue around the center..but im not posittive...i hooked it up to my dvd player tho..(cheap i know) lol and the bass coming out sounded half decent judging the fact there was like 25 watts going to it..but the motor has no writing or anything on it..but if i got 2 15's for home audio for 10 bucks i think i did pretty good..
