Kicker Solo Classic Subs

I had a 15" awhile back... Hated it and sold it, Only got about half what I paid for it..

Was hoping it was gonna be like the original rounds I had back in the day but it wasn't imo..

I just didn't like the sound..

 
Kicker's distort real bad when you push them hard. The cone makes a flapping sound on all of them. Can't stand them. Kicker is way overrated! Hell anybody can make a speaker loud but can you make it sound good under stress is the question? Very few companys can do it.

Thats why I stick with DD's //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/biggrin.gif.d71a5d36fcbab170f2364c9f2e3946cb.gif

 
that was what I didn't like about my L7 15". Took plenty of power and got loud, but was a bit sloppy. Went to 3 10" JL W6's and they were just about as loud on 1500 watts but were a helluve lot tighter.

 
i had 2 kicker classics and they do not sound bad.

they do not make that flapping sound at all i had them in the recomended box off of my orion 2500d at 4 ohms. they sounded great and got decently loud for a small sealed set up

 
I used to have the old kicker solo classics back in 2000 and they flapped like that too. You better make sure you put them in a small azz box or you will rip the surrounds off of them too. The box controls the cone movement on these subwoofers like none I have ever seen before. Kicker subwoofers preform like they are in free air all the time. Thats why the cones rattle like hell on them.

See, I don't know... I had a pair of the 2 ohm C series solo 15's wired down to 1 ohm back in the day in 1.5 per sub sealed running of a Orion HCCA 225 in a s-10 blazer and thought they sounded great, Tight bass and clean...They barely moved and were putting out plenty of bass.

These new ones were sloppy I thought, it was moving like crazy but output seemed weak. for the New classics they reccomend 1.25 verses the 1.5 the old ones liked.

 
I have ran the old C series and D series,. IMO the D Series was the best sub kicker ever made. they got loud in a tiny box and sounded great.. Never had a problem with any slapping noises. One thing u had to make sure of was the box was AIR TIGHT, Buddy did a 155 with 6 of them in 1.5cuft boxes

 
This is a video of the kicker solo classics. Listen to the cone flapping like hell when he turns it up.

There isn't any subs out there that sound good when running full tilt on a vid . They make all kinds of crazy noises. My cvx 10 never makes any flapping noises. Maybe you have your gains set wrong?
