I have had kicker comp vr or cvr's as they are know as now, and I thought they were allright untill I found out what real power and great sound was. As for the audiobauns, I would take them over a kicker anyday, or do what I did and go buy eclipse.
The only reason Audiobahn is a good beginner driver is because it's shiny and has flames, soo you can sell there $600 1000 watt amps that aren't any better than $220 ones to unsuspecting beginners.
