A little History about Kicker Car Audio Subwoofers and Speaker Systems.




 I'm a Hugh fan of Kicker car audio subwoofers and speakers. From the first time I heard their subs I was Hooked. From the coaxials to the sub boxes, Kicker Car Audio subwoofers can turn any car into a beast.

Music…It’s deep in their roots. They live it, breathe it and make it kick!

In 1973, KICKER’s Livin’ Loud legacy began as a two-man operation, hand-building professional-speaker systems in a narrow one-car garage. With very few resources and an intense love for music, company founder and current President Steve Irby invented the mobile-stereo enclosure market in his northern Oklahoma community, when he developed the Original KICKER. It was the first full frequency-range speaker box designed specifically for cars and trucks. From that historic moment, delivering concert-like audio quality across a wide volume range with renowned bass and accurate sound has always been the KICKER way.

As a continually evolving brand, KICKER reached new heights 35 years later with the development of its gear for portable media players—digital docking systems specifically for iPod, iPhone and Zune devices. High-performance headphones and noise-isolating in-ear monitors were not far behind.
