Kicker sure ain't the worst, I've used their equipment over many years, and it's always held up very well.

Kicker is a solid brand. Their products aren't going to win you Sq competitions, but there are FAR worse options to go with. The kicker boxes with the passive radiators put out a solid amount of bass for their size and wattage. Unless you're looking for amazing Sq I think you'll be happy.

Having best buy do the install on the other hand...

Where are you located? I could possibly recommend some shops (or if you're near me i could do it lol). I don't have anything against best buy, I used to work for them as a tech. But I've seen how they train their guys. And honestly they fired most of their experienced installers after covid to save money, so ymmv on the quality of the install.
