kicker or eclipse?

[johnstuff]

I was all but set on buying two kicker comp vr subs, but just yesterday I found a stereo store with buy one get one free for eclipse subs. So my question is which should I go with? Two kicker 10" VR dual voice coil..or..Eclipse sw6102 (aka 86 series) subs? From what I hear its close to bottom of the line for eclipse...but its still eclipse. I also have a profile cl800 (600 watt) amp & a rockford fosgate 9400 head unit. Any advice would be appreciated. Thanks!

go with kicker.. the eclipses have weak voice coils. I burned up a lot of em!! Never blew a kicker!!! even a 6.5 mid on 600w's!!!

haha ok, I have worked on a Astro van with 12- 12's of those Eclipse, but then again the Kickers are strong and a great sub for the money, that probably did not help at all did it

Well if I go by prices the kickers are 110 each & the eclipses are 160 each. But the eclipses are buy one get one free. Blasted decisions.

hahah how about one of each, lol, the kickers have been around for ages so they are proven, even though I am an Eclipse owner/Fan, the kickers have a better history
