kicker is AWESOME, rockford foscate isnt

so i already had a soundquest 4 gauge wiring kit for an amp but i found a deal on the internet for a 2 gauge rockford foscate wiring kit so i went out and bought it. the 2 gauge has thick insulation on the wire but the actual wire part was WAY thinner than my 4 gauge. and i thought they were supposed to be a reputable company???? but anyways i hooked up the 4 gauge wiring kit up to my 520 watt amp and it had my 2 kicker EIGHTS hittin so hard the sun visers were moving up and down and it was rattling the roof really bad. i had no idea 8s could hit so hard. they hit just as hard if not harder than my old sony explode 12s. and have a good sound quality too. if your looking to buy speakers kicker is the way to go for sure

Rockford FOSGATE (with a G, not a C) is a reputable company. Their amp kits are some of the best in the buisness. Rockford FOSCATE (with a C, not a G) is a cheap knock off. Kinda like Alphine or Rockwood. You, sir, got hosed.
