Kicker ???
Is Kicker stuff any good anymore? I know back when i was in HS it was the end all, be all especially when paired with soundstream amps. Whats the scoop now?

Hummm....
I guess it's relative. By that I mean, compared to what? 
I have used a Kicker S10L7 sub in my C5 for the past 4-5 years. It pounded like crazy and sounded great... until the voice coil wires broke. (Design flaw from Kicker... has since been 'updated' to prevent this.) I was able to hit 132 dB with my Xtant 603 providing the power.
I am now looking for a replacement sub... and perhaps an update to the rest of the tunes.
My current idea is to run an 8" Orion XTR-IB DVC sub, a 4" Orion carbon fiber mid in each door, and either a soft dome tweeter or a USD waveguide on each side.
If you have any specific units in mind, respond back and you will probably get some feedback. Best regards.
