I think I've seen you say this exact same thing about Kicker in the past. Obviously you are hung up on the lower end of Kicker. Same could be said about 95% of companies out of their lower lines. Only the cheapest of the cheap would really fit your description that none of their products are worth the materials they are made out of. Even crap made off brands at $5 are worth bumping if you can get them for $5 and take care of them. Are you entitled to your opinion that Kicker isn't good? Most definitely, however, stop spreading baseless opinions in a way that you deter people who might have a wonderful experience with a product.
