I sell the 6104 and is a good amp...I have no experience with the Kicker amp...Probably be pretty satisfied either way...What kind of box are they going in...Just as important as the amp...! Also are the subs DVC...?

Tommy.... can any one really tell me the point in having more than 1 x 10 or 12" speaker in any normally sized car? Ref laws of physics and wavelength.

The Comps are single voice coil



AS for which amp I would run the Kicker. Better build quality and for the connection inputs for sure. That and they actually do the power they say unlike the Kenwood. Shoot the Kenwood has its Max wattage printed on it. Thats says uber cheap to me.

They're both like being the smartest kid on the short bus.

Kicker? Kenwood? Not in my car, thank you!

It all reminds me of something that Moličre once said to Guy de Maupassant at a café in Vienna: "That's nice. You should write it down."

Yeah, there not the greatest...excelon line is pretty nice...I just sell the 6104 and only experience is installing customers kicker products......Not the amp of all amps...But decent...Not to expensive...Does the job!  Howie...Go hard or go home...Its always about the # of sube you have...Sound qaulity and reasoning doesnt apply...2-3-4 subs...!  Had a customer walk in yesterday and tell me there kenwood remote is letting water in...! Maybe i should look at a snow removal business...I dunno...!
