[QUOTE="wotan, post: 6868034, member: 623460"] Hey ya'll... I'm looking for some feedback here. I bought a boat with MA Audio throughout about 7 years ago. It had 4x12" running off their big-dog amp (~4000watts advertised) and then a 4-channel (4x150 iirc) running Ma Audio 6.5" component speakers. Over time the speakers have gotten wet and started making popping sounds so I decided to replace them... I also switched some amps around. I thought I would be "upgrading" to some Kicker KS 6.5" component speakers that I picked up on sale for around $100/pair. I just hooked up the kickers tonight and running/tuning without my sub I am VERY dissapointed in the amount of bass they are putting out. Have I done something wrong? Kicker is a stand-out brand but these are night and day when it comes to bass response compared to the old and (I'm assuming inexpensive) Kickers. I am running these off an older PPI PCX4125 that conservatively should be putting out at LEAST 100watts of nice power. Nothing else has really changed... In order to not have these speakers start to POP LOUDLY I need to turn the crossovers up to around 125HZ. I had the MA's crossed over much, much lower. So... Has Kickers reputation really gone south? Have I dont something wrong? Should I have bought some different 6.5s???? [/QUOTE]
