fli 15" or kicker comp 15" sub

[marc novataken]

what anyone think of those subs? obviously i gather the kicker be better but its expensive lol. what do people think? also does anyone know why a system sounds much louder and more bassy in a fiesta than a nova?

[Jack]

Meh, they're both budget, go with whichever.

What amp do you have?

[marc novataken]

jbl grand touring amp. got a 12" pioneer atm but fancy a 15" now.

[Jack]

Specs on amp, and both subs? Resistance, channels/coils, RMS, PMPO, etc.

[marc novataken]

ill find em now

[Plug]

if you listen to fast bassy music i would just get a better 12" sub tbh

15" are ok if you listen to slow bass

the amp is 2 channel 500 watt max, 200 rms. it really makes the subs i have ran off it boom

[marc novataken]

and i listen to slow bass, hip hop mainly. not often dance music

[Jack]

The FLI is better suited to that amp, assuming the amp is 200WRMS @ 4Ohm. Its underpowered for the Kicker one.

The specs on the Kicker are more realistic though, instead of marketing figures like the FLI has...

[marc novataken]

thanks mate +rep

[Jack]

Hang on, I meant the Kicker is better suited, not the FLI lol

[BIGS]

what about the vibe space, i swear by it. my mates has two vibe blacks that they do as a twin box and my one 12" sounds better and is way louder. i really would look into one!

I had an alpine V12 amp running a 15" Kicker comp in the boot of my old SR rep and if you run them in properly then they will more than competently handle pretty much anything you can run through them tbh as i tried mine with everything from brum and bass to happy hardcore to rock and it was spot on for all of them surprisingly enough:thumb:

Whatever you go fo just make sure you run it in well and it will sound better than if you just spank it from day one!

[Jack]

brum and bass
Birmingham Drum & Bass?

i got a 15" kicker comp sub in my nova running of a 700watt jbl amp and the bass is unreal, it rattles the front head lights, its a tight fit in the boot but it sounds good

[MattBrown]

Look for rockford fosgate imo!

12" is the best for all round listening, 15" can delay the bass notes

Running 2 jbl grand touring amps!

Very pleased up to now!

My stereo runs for about 20mins flat out on a fully charged batt! Without engine running obv

Also get a power cap! As the stereo responds alot better when you have one!
