HUH?
but won't that mean more ppl coming here and pulling subs and taking pics cause their 1000 watt amp sounds like 100watts??
Enlighten me bc every brand I know of tied to wal mart is sub par on its best day. Not like kicker is something to write home about anyways.You are very far from the truth on this. I can understand your point, but being upset and tossing out such a claim is ridiculous. It is obvious that from a business logic it is a great choice for them.
The problem with anything "respectable" is that nobody who puts any care into manufacturing can supply every Wal Mart in North America with something. Sadly it takes a very big scale production and some very slim margins to be able to sell to a behemoth like them.Sounds about right. Cheap audio in a cheap retail store. How many places can you get your weekly groceries and car audio in the same store? I'm sure there was huge demand for that. I'm willing to bet you ain't gonna find a AA, Fi, DC, Sundown, JL, Audioque, or any respectable sub in wal mart any time in the near future. Corporate America just trying to **** your every last nickel. What happened to the Local guy having a shop selling and installing RF, kicker, mtx, etc. In order to support his family. Those days will slowly diminish.
Very much true. This plus internet.... not even internet retail, but "how to's" for absolutely everything at your fingertips. Want to install anything in a stock location in any production car, likely there's step by step pictorial on the web somewhere and then stop by a place like this for troubleshooting.A lot of those shops messed up themselves. Markups, shady installs, rediculus prices
Kicker product is just fine when used with in what they are designed for. They are a large company that has been sold at Best Buy for a while now. Walmart is the correct next step for them with their low end line. They will offer a superior product over any other product they currently carry which will boost sales. Walmart also buys in huge bulk which mean quick/fast sales for Kicker.Enlighten me bc every brand I know of tied to wal mart is sub par on its best day.

While that is true, they will only be selling their lower line. Not to mention they have been selling to Best Buy and Custom Sounds for many years now.The problem with anything "respectable" is that nobody who puts any care into manufacturing can supply every Wal Mart in North America with something.

I don't mean to be a ****, but kicker is on par or better then everything you have listed in your signature."Kicker’s products will actually serve as Walmart’s high end offering in car amps and speakers."
That's pretty sad lol.
I'm still not understanding where Kicker has become Dual over night. I understand you are all young and think if it is not an online company it is not good..but come on."Kicker’s products will actually serve as Walmart’s high end offering in car amps and speakers."
That's pretty sad lol.
I'd like to see any kicker sub besides the solo X put up with the abuse I give my obsidians...also would like to see one of those kicker amps run at .5 daily dropping into mid 12's without having any issues. And for the record, the lanzar optidrve series is very stout...I've had 0 issues with it.I don't mean to be a ****, but kicker is on par or better then everything you have listed in your signature.

I have to say one thing here. You are very naive.I'd like to see any kicker sub besides the solo X put up with the abuse I give my obsidians...also would like to see one of those kicker amps run at .5 daily dropping into mid 12's without having any issues.
