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 . what do people think? also does anyone know why a system sounds much louder and more bassy in a fiesta than a nova?

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...
