Hey guys using the sub kick,
What are you thinking about it?
Is it a ton better than using an LDC in the tunnel or a 15 in speaker?
Do tell do tell!
Or am I better off to eep savign my pennies for Dimitios' U47?

I have the sub kik and a DIY speaker, and, at least for me the sub kik had
a better sound, although the DIY was good also. I suppose it would matter
what kind of speaker you used. I'm using sub kik now, and loving it. If you
want to DIY there is a thread on gearslutz that shows some mounting soultions.
I think it's on "High End" Mike Wagner's stand, made from Home Depot parts,
is especially cool, IMO
