Summary:
I bought two Kicker 25th aniversery SE comps in a sweet custom sealed box with 1.7 cu feet per speaker, thinkin i couldn''t go wrong, i was right these things pound. Not quite as good a Fosgate HE2 but almost. I am runnin a 1000 watt crunch amp to them currently and it is pushin them hard. For the price (about what onw HE2 costs) they are great.

Strengths:
LOUD, the bass carrys. I never have to honk anymore when i get my friends, They hear me blocks away and are waiting out side. The bass is punchy and booms. Sometimes it is just too loud for the type of music.

Weaknesses:
Other than the bass seems uncontroled sometime, there are none that find, other than there are obviously louder and better choices. If i ran a little more power i would probably start to hear some distortion. The only complaint is that because of excusion they tend to be off beat slightly on high tempo techno songs. (or maybe its just my amp)
