What was...

I guess, the surround just rotted away, but they still played.

I think I gave mine to my little brother and he used them for a couple of years after I beat the hell out of them.

8" MTX Thunder 6000 powered by a Lightning Audio 150w RMS amp. lookig back, that was a nice little sub. I put it in a ported box and it was loud for only 8 inches.

The first Kickers I had were all black and said "KICKER" in the center in gold, dont even know what model or what.//content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/eyebrow.gif.fe2c18d8720fe8c7eaed347b21ea05a5.gif

Kicker Competitions, with the mica/polypropelyn cone, and stitched surround, capable of 300watts rms if I recall correctly. I had a pair too,(12's) in a wierd solobaric/ported box....ended up building a new sealed one myself, since the output was kinda lacking. I must say, it slammed pretty hard. I wonder what I would think about its sound today?

Edit: Probably sounded like *** in retrospect, as I used particle board, and had them face each other only a few inches apart.

Which leads me to my next thought, as I build up my current system, there's always a persistent thought in the back of my head..."its not as good as your best one". Which had an alpine 7390 tape deck, along with a 3342 eq, and I want to say either a punch dsm 40 and a 60 (40-mids, 60-bass) or a 60/100...can't recall. And this leads me to wonder...with the system I have now, how can it NOT be louder? Its gotta be...so I am holding my current system up to some nonexsistent standard. Which reminds me, pics of the trunk coming soon, once I find a place to host it.

Sorry for the offtopic ramble!

I remember when Kicker had the stitched suround on the subs.//content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/cool.gif.3bcaf8f141236c00f8044d07150e34f7.gif
