Cool Kicker????

Do you think that if i put 2 kicker L7 in my car would ot thump or is it not worth the money to even think about that? if not what would be worth it?

don't buy marketing any decent set of 12's in the proper box will thump (don't buy a prefab piece of cardboard) I have not been impressed with the kickers sound (don't play low enough for subs to me) for about the same price you could get a set of eclipse that sound great, or the mtx thunder 9500 is a great sub pricey but they never had a blown one come back

they have a transient of about 100 hz ( that's teh point they play teh loudest) wich does kickdrums ok (should be around 80 hz) that's why they work fine for heavy metal but suck for real bass
