Kicker Amps, subs and speakers

how good is this Kicker sound equipment
i was at a shop and listened to a set up tonight and it sounded great

what do you think of this set up and is there something better

1-10" subwoofer

or

here are the 2 12 "- i would put in a rear floor w carpet w 2 12" subs in the floor facing up w a speaker grill that would protect them and the amp in the compartment under it. the 2 12" subs were amazing

2- 05CVR124 KICKER CompVR 12 inch Dual 4 ohm SUBWOOFER
1- 06ZX7501 amp for sub and speakers with an adjustable gain
2- 05KS62 6" speakers for front
2- 05KS60 6" speakers for rear

i played my MP3 CD on it with a varied bunch of rock and classic rock,,,, some Emerson Lake and Palmer, Smash Mouth, Styx, Yes, Credence, LZ and the clarity was great and had great bass and all sounded awesome.

with 2 12's your gonna need alot of air space and I'm not sure there is enough under there.I'm just going with 2 10's I think..The one 12 I have now is pretty loud and I like bass..

I've never heard anything bad about Kicker and wouldn't hesitate to buy thier stuff..As far as using the factory location.I guess its fine if you just want some bass in your car but if your building a show winner you have to have something more custom than that..The only problem with the sub floor is you lose your spare but if its that big of a deal you could always make a mount for your spare in the cargo area like they have in some suvs up against the side.

Kicker makes great audio equipment. You should check out their Solo-Baric subwoofers rather than compVRs.

Kicker is who I'm going with. I was gonna go cvr, but now I'm just debating on either getting 1 10l7 or 2. I think 2 l7s in an HHR is going to be crazy loud...but whats wrong with that :)

I am very happy with the build of the HHR.Nothing rattles and because of the hatch its way loud.I think 2 10's is enough for anybody..

i worked for a car audio shop that sold kicker so i might be able to help out just a bit 1st i would switch from cvr124's to cvr122's. this would give you a final load of 2 ohms which would give the 750 rms that amp is capable of doing. 2nd i would get ks62's to go all the way around. the ks62's can be mounted as comps or coax and they still use the crossovers. we did a 85 rx7 that ran 2 cvr122's and 2 set of ks62's, comps in front and coax in rear. we ran a kx1200.1, for the subs, and a kx350.4 for the kx62's. it was loud and it was clean. i would try to run 75 watts rms to the ks62 and use that zx7501 with the cvr122's. this will probally make the hair on you arm tingle.

Would it be better to run a single 10 off a zx750.1 or get a 2 channel amp pushing the same watts total (2ohm) and run 2 10's. I guess what I'm saying is it better to run 1 sub at full capacity or 2 at half.
