Kicker’s Kick-Ass New Kit & Clever Caliber Camera

As September beckons, and we start to think of Autumnal days, this news is fresh in from the Kicker people, new toys! And the dashcam that can quietly do three times as much as the competition. How much dinero is a reversing camera in your car’s accessories list? It’ll be WAY more than one of these, thats for certain! The one on my car was list priced at £2,000 for my Volvo, back in 2016….

And BASS TUBES ARE BACK!!! TWO OHM ONES!!! On any amp, these will suck watts and dump lows. PLUS they feature a passive radiator driver, so it looks like two speakers, but acts like a deeply ported box – except it drops to lower frequencies, to the maximum wobbliness of the passive driver diaphragm. Meaning I suspect these of being a bit beyond awesome and want to try one so baaaaad I can taste it! (Meanwhile, the term ‘Bass Tube’ is generic, no matter what the main brand associated with the concept would wish. I was once asked a long time back about the issue as they tried to set a legal precedent. It failed. It’s like ‘Fridge’.)
