Damn hate to hear that. But I understand you gotta do what you gotta do. When I flipped mine I didnt have a way to replace her nor did I want to so a come along and a ****** rope became my friend. Got the body pretty straight after I popped the roof back out. For what its worth Im glad your ok man not trying to call you out or anything I just hate to see a Jeep go out like that or really any vehicle for that matter.

Finally got the np231 with the sye, in my 91. Easy as pie with another pair of hands. Also put on the new trans mount, but didn't have time to put the RC crossmember on.

Kicker sucks. Had a 12" Kicker Comp sub a while back. Blowed it with a 200w max walmart amp.

I aint calling them. Only thing im going to hear is 'its not their fault, damage happened during transport, it was my fault, one bad speaker out of millions, never had this issue before... Blah blah blah...' Been down that road before.

RF is to dang expensive. I drive a Jeep not a beamer, lmao

^^ Must have bought the cheap yellow kickers. My L5's (non cheap ones) were running off 1200 watts for 3 years before I got rid of them.

These were yellow box, last set were red. And the 12 was not a cheap one.

Tbh, i ran two 12 Xplods for two years on two 1000W amps and they never gave me any trouble. Sad to say they were stolen.

I went with everyone on 'Kickers ARE AWESOMEEEEE!!!!!!!!!1 BRAH!!!!' and am not impressed.

Im not arguing why it died. My opinion is kicker is junk. I understand that may or may not be your opinion. I also understand lots of people have never had an issue and swear by them.

All i wanted to know is who recommends what brand? Besides kicker.

Iv used plenty of Pyle subs and was surprised at the cost vs performance of them. I had 2 15s and a 4k amp blow my ford taurus trunk lid open before. Also had a memphis amp catch on fire in that same car.
