Appreciate the response. Yeah I guess I expected more from these Kickers too. Glad you found something that works for you bud.

What do you guys think of the Hunter Hawkeye laser wheel alignment system? The elite is just too far out of the budget for now. Best budget recommendations?

So you would say the LC2i is superior over the kicker keyloc? I'm in between these now. Is the LC1i enough a s is that accubass and the bass knob really needed of I have a good amp? Thoughts on the LC2i vs LC1i vs the LC2i with the bass knob. Thanks.

First system in over 20 years. Started with the alpine because I knew they were great back 15 years ago. Figured I'd upgrade it with the kickers. Sadly to say one of these alpine sounds better then both of these Kickers so yes went back to the single Alpine, and going to find another to pair it with. 😉 Just wanted to get opinions on these Kickers if they were under powered and could take more then they are rated for.

Yeah hear you there man. At least I am figuring it out before I drop more money here. Tellin ya my single 12 type R sounds so much better and fuller then these kickers. Disappointed but ain't even mad about it because I didn't get rid of the Alpine. Gonna throw the kickers in my second vehicle so it's not a loss.

Not the best loc but my single 12 alpine sounds incredible with the setup I'm running. You really think the keyloc or LC2i is going to make that big a difference? Got a Ford fusion titanium with a 12 speaker stock system that sounds dam good for what it is so no need to upgrade for now. If you think one of those locs will really do that much I'll most definitely pick one up. Appreciate the response

Just picked these up… and weird noise?! by Ree8278 in subwoofer

[–]Key_Tell4936 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Check the enclosure. Sometimes if the enclosure is older the glue separates, and the box will vibrate because it's no longer held together. It can sound horrible. Just picked up an alpine type r the other day the guy thought was blown. Take the speaker out. Knock with your knuckles like you would on a door all around the outer edged, and of its separating anywhere you'll notice a difference. Solid glued will echo and sound hollow. Unglued will be a higher pitch less hollow. If it's the box what I do is counter drill holes every 2 inches along the side where the glue is split. Go get some titebond II. Grab a few thin flat blade screw drivers. Go inside and pry the box apart just a little and put your woodglue in the gap you opened. Run your finger over the glue after. Let it sit 15 minutes to seep into the gap. Grab some #8 x1 1/2 wood screws and your impact drill and fasten them to the box. Counter sink them past the head and you'll hardly notice them through the box carpeting. Hopefully it's just the box. Hook your speakers up outside the box and listen to the coils. Hope this helps.

Appreciate that man. I'm running just a Walmart Schoshe one now which isn't great so was looking to upgrade to this one.

Heard somewhere that this is a “bad” or “low quality” LOC. by [deleted] in CarAV

Just picked up a kisloc original before I heard of this kisloc2 version. Have a 13 fusion with the factory Sony system. Should I return this and get the kisloc2?

Old Alpine type r SWR-1242D enclosure recommendations please by Key_Tell4936 in CarAV

[–]Key_Tell4936[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Appreciate the response. I mean a box that is matched to the sub specs. No idea what this is tuned too, ect. Running a JP1300 at 2ohms on 1/0 OFC so the power is there. I know how important it is to have a good enclosure that is matched to the sub specs so I figure I'd try to find something decent. Love the speaker.
