I am not sure what Kicker will do with the stuff. The old PPI products were a little different situation because I had paid for the products in the beginning. Many of those woofers were signed, raffled off and the proceeds went to local charities. I have a feeling Kicker will probably do some type of promotional thing with the woofers - since there will be no more of them available.
As soon as I find out, I will let everyone know. 2002 is going to be a great fun filled year for us.

Alma, what does the Bronco have in it such as amps, subs, quantity of both and the loudest it hit? Just curious, hear a lot about the Bronco but never heard what's in it. Thanks.

Jammin, as of yesterday, we had 48 Kicker S10L7g woofers, 48 Kicker Zr1000 amps, Panasonic head unit (CQ-DFX802U),4-280amp PowerMaster Alternators, Tsunami accessories including over a mile of wire (yeah, we counted it), Lots of Dynamat, and a Python Security system (we make use of all the goodies included in it-remote start, windows, etc.) At finals, we recorded a 172.3db. With all the problems we had with the install last year, we did alright.
Yesterday, the bronco was gutted. It's first appearance will be at Daytona in March with its brand new look. We will not be competing this year, but instead will be on a tour promoting our sponsors, the organizations, and the industry. I am looking forward to a season doing something that I really love doing - sharing that bronco with everyone!
Thanks for asking.

Me too. I also wanted to win one of those woofers last year.
Last year at SBN i was 1 Nunber off on the raffle ticket at winning a PPI Pro 10" and was 1 # off again when they raffled off a 15" Kicker L7. Talk about a bad day!! lol. Not to mention inside the biulding at the MA Audio booth I was yet again 1 number off on numerous items, I was hoping to get a free set of components and subs with maybe an amp, lol high hopes came craching down by 5PM on the 1st day of the show! Anyway, please keep us informed, I would love to own a Kicker L710G Signed by the Queen of Bass.
