Kicker LED speakers and subwoofer modifications - 100% complete now!

[Jackew]

Ok - here I'm run down. Last year when my boat was new, I added Kicker cans and tower speakers and 2 10" subs. All LED enhanced. My plan was too see if I liked the product and sound. I must admit, I was 100-% satisfied. In fact I was impressed. So I knew my replacing all the Polk speakers was next on my list.

This brings me present. So last weekend I get 3 sets of kickers LED speakers in to replace my polk's. I was disappointed to learn that one of my sub and the 2 tower speakers LED we not working properly. Well that lead me now a path to trouble shoot the problem and a long story short had me get 2 tower speakers and a sub replaced under warranty. I am now less stratified with the product due to this and I hope it was just a fluke.

Now the project is done and I am finished my stereo modification job.... Please not my signature list all the components of my system with the apporate links. Fell free to,ask any question you have after review my photos.

Can't wait to get to Florida for some harbor night riding .. Trip to LuLus in Destin is a nice night out !

Swim platform is one sweet spot to listen to some tunes

I’ve learned that the LED issues was not a one off issue. As this spring all the LED are out in all my speakers and I am totally scraping my approach to my Kicker speakers. Kicker has no support to my issues. The boat is garage kept and covered so it’s not a weather or exposure problem. I have replaced the subs with 10 JL subs with LED blue lights. Already done and a real difference in sound and quality of sound - I was fooled to think Kicker was as good. So now am on a new path, as I will replace tower speakers with 7.7 JL tower speakers and the swim platform will be 6.5 JL . This will leave me only 2 more pairs to replace later on. I am also avoiding LED lights and will only have them in the subs, I don’t want the hassle that these lights gave me with Kicker.

I am glad I ended up going with the JL speakers.
