[QUOTE="TheMisfit, post: 8091011, member: 654460"] Thanks for the response. I never tried to imply anything I had was high quality, in fact I stressed the fact that I have some very low end equipment like a Sony Xplode subwoofer in my car.

I know kicker isn't top of the line, but it's much better then a Sony Xplode. To answer your questions, yes the Kicker sub in a kicker recommend box. It's in a "Kicker" factory box.
