Anyone know how these compare to the Kicker C104s?

These subs have a much higher power handling. If you hook up your amp correctly with 4 ga. Wire and set up you lpf and gain correctly these will bump harder than kickers but required more watts. I have two hooked up to a 2400 watt mono class d amp and people here me coming a block away!

Get the Kicker subwoofer. I have heard both and the Pioneer is warmer but I blew two within a month. The power rating on this sub is extremely inflated. I know the Kicker will take abuse and come back for more.

Both good I'm running Kickers but will be up grading to Focals soon. This amp will supprise you.

Dual 12" Comp 10 series Kicker subs! I had the same setup and I knocked the block off!

If those are rated at 1000w, then they will be louder. As an owner I'm very impressed with the power of these kickers and have no problems. These are excellent quality, but if you want to go louder try the pioneers.

I had one SA12 on 1200watts and it handled it like a champ. These subs are way underrated. Look into the Soundqubed HDS300's. They are about $50.00 cheaper. I replaced my SA with one and the HDS rapes the SA. Optimal enclosure specs on both. The Hds plays the lower end and the higher end quite noticeably better. But taking nothing away from the SA's. They are badass!

Yes, I have compared the two. I returned the Fluance SX6's, and kept the Pioneer BS22's. The Fluance's were very dynamic, and sounded great playing trance or other electronic music, but the Pioneers have a warmer mellower sound that I really like for the long haul.

You will definitely get the quality sound you are looking for. I paired it with 2 kicker 10" competition subs and don't have any complaints. I would say go for it. You're welcome!

I have some boss subs in this box. They have a 2300 watt max on them and they push hard and sound great. But I've never owned kickers.

They appear to be similar, but this is probably a question for Bose technical support. See the Bose website.

These are loud subs had two in a huge sealed box and they got low but keep in mind these are entry level subs with decent xmax put them in a ported box with 400-600 watts rms CLEAN power (as in get your headunit and amplifiers set with a SMD DD-1 Distortion Detector) and they will probably amaze you. I say they are equal/similar to kicker comps, sundown e series, audioque/soundqubed hds200 series. If you trying to quake the city, compete, or hair trick save up to buy better/real competition subs. These are entry level subs!!

These were the Best Buy variant of the B20s. According to Klipsch, the only reall difference is a slightly different crossover point. My guess is that these might be a little warmer than the B20s. Interestingly, these rate better. I have a set and I like them very much.

They have tighter bass at higher volume but you still need a good bass box. Fosgate with a kicker 10-12in is optimum

If i were you id be less interested in wether or not not these are l3 and more worried about why kicker refuses to sell a recone kit for their entire solo baric line....i bought a pair of these and when their cone blew kickers response was "we dont sell any sort of repair products for these subs because they are too cheap!"-that is the honest response from kickers customer service...you should look at rockford fosgate, i gaurentee you will get a higher quality sub that hit harder AND can be repair if damaged! Trust me, DONT buy kicker!!!!!

Personally I believe those subs should fit. I have 2 kicker cv10s and they are about the same dimensions as those. And the mounting depth is the same also. So yes I believe they will fit. Plus the box is a great piece of equipment and sounds great

I have the KEFs and the ML Electromotion ESLs. Both are very good but I think the KEF is probably the better speaker overall. That said, if you have the right room either will be good. I seriously considered sending the KEFs back right up until the last second. Since keeping them I've worked more on placement and coupling to the stands and that's squeezed extra performance from the KEFs which makes me glad I have them. The logan's will be happiest if the room is larger and you can get them well away from the walls, I'm able to give them about 5 feet behind them and I don't feel like that's quite enough. I had an older pair of Aerius i in a larger room where I was able to give them 7-8 feet and the presentation always blew me away. With my smaller room now I haven't been able to extract the same magic from the newer ESLs even though I feel the new ESLs are tonally well beyond the quality of the older Aerius. The KEFs will make use of all the space you can give them too, but their different approach doesn't require it as much and with their limited bass extension they'll be happier in a smaller room.

If you are just using them for high-mid range and you're not looking to get that much bass out of it, I would suggest to go with the Pioneers very rich in sound and definitely does the job especially if you have an Equalizer. Check out the Clarion EQS746 Improves any type of music 110% hands down/ very useful if you have an amp or more than one in my case. I'm running 3 amps off this bad boy and very satisfied with the results!

All these kickers need a little power to sound good. Head-units don't have enough out put. I run Pioneer 40 watts RMS x4 to 4 6x8s in my Ford Explorer. High an mid sound great. Bass is kicker 300 watt rms with kicker 12. Its loud enough for me.
