Well just like last week I got another call from the local store. My new Kicker QS65.2 components were in. As I have mentioned in my review of the new solo-classic I am trying to simplify my system and since my first real system was mostly kicker I thought I would give them a shot just for old times sake. I know they are not the same company and have had some very questionable products released over the years but what the hell... First impression of the mids.....They are really heavy and large. They remind me of the Image Dynamics kevlar mid. Everything appears to be extremely well made. The xovers are huge and bi-ampable but I will not be using them, at least for now. They will be run active via a kenwood ddx-812 to a ppi dcx-730 to a mcintosh mc404 (4x100) I will first try them with the eq off on the 730 and just fiddle with the xover settings. If that works out to be succesful I will be able to use just the mcintosh for xover settings since it has a bandpass filter for the mids and can eq from the head unit. Again I am hoping to simplify! The tweeters look smaller then the ss series components that I actually kinda liked. There mid was a little lacking in the lower regions but by the looks this new version seems like it might have some more hmmmmm.....balls! (I think thats the technical term) The tweeters will go on the dash of my dodge ram quad cab for now. The mids will go in the over sealed/damped doors. I am going to go put these in now. I will give first impressions but will not get very detailed regarding songs and my scoring until probably thurs/friday since I will not be spending much time in the truck till then. (road trip
