whatever happened to Kove?

Do they still manufacture Kove audio?  One of the best systems I ever had was a single DVC Kove 10 with a 600 W Crossfire amp feeding it.  I still have a pair of 6 1/2 Kove woofers w/ an aimable tweeter in my back deck.  They are DVC, wired parallel w/ my front sound speakers into a 6 year old amp.  They still sound as loud and crisp as the day I installed them(4 years ago).  Without a sub on, these produce enough midrange to rattle my rear view mirror.   So how come I don't seen any Kove stuff anymore-just curious.

They're still around, although I understand they are (or were at least) in financial difficulty and may have been sold.  Parts Express is selling their old stock Armaggedon subs ( 12's and 15's) at a pretty good price point.  Kove makes very good SPL equipment that seems to last a long time.

hmmm ive never used Kove... good SPL eh?  how good?---- 1996 Chevy S10 ----

1 Lightning Audio S2.600.2 Amp

2 Lightning Audio 12" Subs

1 Lightning Audio 1 Farad Cap

Don't know specs, but all I can tell you is my experience w/ them.  I had a single xs10" Kove that sounded better than the Crossfire 12 it replaced.  Tight bass, excellent response with pretty good range of sound.  It lasted forever too, now one of my girlfriends has it(it's like 4 years old mind you) and it still pounds.  That's all I can say about it-check out their site mentioned above.

good enough that you or I or anyone who cares about spl would buy one from parts express for that price!!!

Yea, the guys who run Parts Express are genuine audio fanatics and good people.  They stand behind what they sell, know what they are talking about and will work with you.  They are one of my favorite places to shop.  In fact, me with a Parts Express catalog is kind of like the stereotype of a person with a new credit card in a warehouse store for the first time.  You buy way too much just because you can and the prices are great.  I've got a ton of half-finished projects around my house because of them!!

Here's the correct link to the 15" Koves at Parts Express, by the way.  http://www.partsexpress.com/pe/pshowdetl.cfm?&DID=7&Partnumber=299-665
