kicker vs rockford

When you think of car audio you think of a couple of big names and Kicker and Rockford Fosgate are huge. The kicker was the first to use a solo baric and also was the first to use a square as a shape for more cone area.Kicker has made many amps and has come along way but by far the largest amp they have made is the Warhorse, and the is a 10000 watt amp at 2 ohms at 14.4 volt which will run 14500 watts at 16 volts.
 Rockford has made a name for itself in car audio for building quality car audio componets. Rockford fosgate was the first to use Titanium in there cones with the T series. The T1 has been understated and uses between 500-1000 watts of clean watts and produces an impressive amount of SQ or SPL from so few of watts. Rockford watts are now being used as a measurement in wattage. Some people say they have 5000 watts or 4500 rockford watts which has many more stipulations. Rockford does make a tk15 which is a hybrid 15,000 watt amp and stores power when not being used and is a worlds first.

These amps are crazy awesome. Maybe one day after the zombie apocalypse I can run by an audio store and snatch up one of these as I'm blowing holes in geek brains... but not until that day comes.

How do you blow the seal in your windows? Does that take a lot to fix? These two systems sound like they pack a lot of power - more than the average person needs.

if the SPL or Sound pressure level gets above a certain level the windows react like someone is pounding on them and no it isnt much to fix it just gets frusterating
