Kicker's quality has gone down, I live in the Washington DC area, and I can not think of one shop that even carries them anymore. A shop that I knew carried them for years up until they dropped them about a year ago. No offense to the square subs (solobarics) but yuck, I hate the way they sound, and no way they can hang with a JL Audio W3. Kicker is pretty much special order stuff now, with a huge internet market.
