ok.. so.. truthfully. are these some of the worst woofers you can buy, or what?
I've never seen great results with a factory prefab. They are good, but by no means bring out the best in the sub. Usually factory prefabs compromise size and performance. The average consumer doesn't want a huge box, so they tend to make a smaller box with less port area than would be desirable. The average consumer also doesn't know the true potential of their subs, so they're fine with the performance out of a prefab.If the box is made by Kicker and it has Kicker subs in it.It will be a good product.
They make bigger and more powerful products but you can be sure the subs are in the correct air space and if ported, they are tuned correctly.
Factory matched sub and boxes are most often the right way to go.
