BooLeaN CarAudio. Dec 8, 1, 0 Canada Ontario. Do you ever hate a company for no good reason? I do, I have never heard a Kicker Sub in a car, but I hate them cause they have square subs.

No good reason at all, I realize this, but I would never buy a kicker. Also, Rockford, I hate because they have too many lines. I can never understand which is which. For all I know, they make a great product, but I would never buy one for that reason.

I know that this is shallow, but when you think of all the great companies that make a sub for around Canadian dollars, or USD, there are too many to pick from, so you have to count some companies out somehow. Does anyone else have a hatred for another company for no good reason?? Mar 13, 1, 1 Chattanooga, TN. Ha, me and a friend was talking about this subject about 2 days ago.

Alot of people dis like a company because of what other people say. Just like the solobaric. People may say this and that about it, and a person who has never heard the woofer perfrom may get carried away by the negative talk and develop a since of hatred towards the company. I think, in some form or fashion everyone is like this. I mean, im sure alot of people havent heard walmarts Rampage speakers, but im sure they wouldnt by it just because its sold at walmart. I really think this was funny, since i was just talking about this and more specifically, talking about the solobaric woofers from kicker.

Oh and for the Fosgate thing, some people dont like it because Bestbuy carry their subs. But this is just my opinion. LOL thanks for your reply, and I totally agree with the Walmart subs. Posted on Sunday, March 20, - GMT Joe there arent a million different companies making them, but there are a few. And as far as this thread So what if they get nose tingling low bass. If you pay top dollar for a setup that just sounds loud so you can impress girls, or turn up on other people next to you so you can out do them, or so you can brag that your friends heard you coming blocks away then your really not into car audio.

Your into an image one that you think loud music gives you. Theres a guy down the street from where i have been helping my friend build a custom enclosure for his RE RE10 sub that has 1 12" L7. And i laught everytime he goes up and down the street bumping becuase the sound quality is horrible. And i am sure he think he sounds cool and that he will get attention, but really now if your going to play loud where other people can hear Just about any sub can make your ears hurt, stomach turn, or "tingle your nose".

My friend bought about 3 years ago a DHD amp with 2 Sony 12's and those subs got so loud when tuning the system i had to exit the car a few times. Most of the negitive feedback people get on this forum in regards to kicker solobarics is becuase people talk about how great they are example your first post in this thread "my system smoked his".

And i am sure it did, maybe your quaters flipped more on your hood then his or you were heard farther down the street than his. But to most people on this forum that isnt everything Kickers are targets not only of fans and of teammates, but also increasingly of those who oversee the game. Extra points were adjusted to increase the level of difficulty, kickoffs are becoming less relevant and a rash of missed field goals has caused the discussion about kickers to become so acidic several current players and team executives suggested the position could be eradicated entirely.

Several team executives agree, arguing that it's only a matter of time before the position is eliminated. This seems extreme, and these sources say the NFL would never publicly admit the possibility of this. But several long-time executives stated they strongly believe kickers will go the way of the eight-track tape. They add that several team owners within the past two years have discussed this very possibility. Rule changes to the kicking game have been substantial.

In addition to moving the extra point back, the kickoff was moved to the yard line to promote more touchbacks. Yet the move saw some teams purposely kick the ball short to force returns. Some team officials believe the NFL's competition committee buoyed by Roger Goodell will next eliminate kickoffs altogether.

Then, kickers. Goodell has publicly discussed the former; he said in September :. We've made some very effective changes on the kickoff that have had a very significant impact reducing injuries. It is still a play where we see a higher propensity for head injury. So we want to try to address that. We think there's still further changes that we can make. We won't take anything off the table, including the elimination.

But we still think there are some changes that we can make that we'll continue to see progress in that area. Yet Feely, a former high-ranking member of the union, said Goodell told him privately he has no intention of eliminating the position.

The kickers-are-people-too crowd point to the excitement they provide to the game and say getting rid of them, or not respecting them, is wrongheaded thinking. Said Tynes:. The NFL is about scoring. Take away whatever the average points scored by a kicker is each year, and you are losing a points of offense per year if you eliminate the kicker.

Not what they want. Good teams know what a good kicker means to football. When we think of "great NFL games" we think of tight games or OT games that ended with a made field goal, missed field goal, blocked field goal, botched field goal hold, etc. We can make people jump for joy and we can make them want to kill us.
