I built a setup using the 10" CVX's they were in very very small sealed enclosures, and I was worried about the low end frequencys really.   I was very surprised to say the least!    They were fully capable of playing all frequencies on a very level range.   I am yet to play with the 12" models, but intend to get some very soon.

Kickers isn't aggressive enough for me. But they do have the best sound quality of all subwoofers.

6.5 Kicker Rear Speakers

What?! Kicker, best sound quality? I think you've got that backwards. They are aggressive, with not too good of SQ. -Jeez...

HAHA.. Kickers are aggressive ?? Now the L7 square speakers are aggressive, but anything out side of that is pure garbarge.
I do have to admit though the sound quality on their round subwoofers is a 10! Nothing beats them on Sound Quality.
We need more opinions here..lol

bigbangs, you've got a Pioneer deck, which is known for adding noise throught the RCA outputs, a HiFonics amp, which is known for only putting out what it claims at HUGE THD numbers, and Kicker door/dash speakers, which are a far cry from anything SQ related. Now, what do you know about SQ?

You need to listen to a few more woofers, dude!
I have heard FEW (VERY few woofers - Directed being one of them) with lower SQ. I have heard MANY more with MILES better SQ than Kicker, and most of them are significantly LESS expensive than Kicker, too.
Adire, TCSounds, even Radio Shack make better SQ woofers than Kicker...
And while SQ is in the ear of the beholder, you DID ask for more opinions... I see an open door, I walk through it!
It all reminds me of something that Molière once said to Guy de Maupassant at a café in Vienna: "That's nice. You should write it down."

Hey i'm glad you posted. I was waiting for someone to say some thing about SQ!
I took the below from the12volt page--> https://www.the12volt.com/caraudio/caraudio.asp
"Perception of sound is subjective to each of us, just as some of us find black cars more appealing than other color cars. If you like your car stereo system more than any other in the same vehicle, then you have the best. But, if you like some other car stereo system more than yours in the same vehicle, then that one is better. Only you can decide which is best for you. For a car stereo system and installation to be a good or great system and installation, it must meet or exceed the user's expectations."
So with this all in mind. What do you know about SQ? My system sounds excellent to me , so it is the best system ever.

Good deal. I wasn't trying to bash you. And you're right, it's all up to what you like.
