Has anyone heard how kicker impulse subs sound?

[lukeman269]

I am building a little home system with all car audio parts and I have a chance to get a pair of kicker impulse 10's for 40 bucks. Do they sound good at all or should I keep looking around?

Any other opinions on small subs to use for my little project? I only have about 140 watts to work with for a pair of subs. Space really isn't an issue but I do want to keep the subs at 8 or 10 inch. I just need a nice clean sounding low end, doesn't have to be super loud. Any help is appreciated! Thanks!

i used them back in the day
if you use one it will have some good sound off 140 watts they were a avery sub but being older they don't need alot of power to get louder
imo they were a small step down from the jl10w1 again i used both with my v2 m25

Do you think the Kicker impulse subs sound better than jl w0v1 10? I had a pair of those 10's awhile back and they sounded pretty good on 250 watts.

they do sound good some people like the sound of jl and some don't. these subs are not low end monster but for $40 and the low power your going to use they are nice
these are the black one with purple writting on them right?
I love jl sound there a littel bump at about 60hz. now i have gone to focal k2 series. yes they are alot of money but these sub are very very fast. so to make up some volume im going a 16" selaed 2.2 and have 700w rms on tap. I love the 15"spl i had just was not super loud like a good 12 imo

Yep these are the black with purple writing on them. They seem to be in pretty solid condition too for their age. I like jl sound as well. They make good equipment. My friend has a JL w6v1 10 and it rocks! I had to refoam it for him but it was really easy to do.

I have heard great things about Focal products, but yes they are pricey! I have had a couple of different 15's and like you said, a good 12 is where it's at for the sound.

I currently have a Boston Acoustics G3 12 in my car hooked up to a Ti 400.2 at 4 ohms and it will definitely turn some heads when the bass is kicking.
