Although I prefer my Phoenix Gold to just about anything on the average consumer level , I have heard some decent Kicker setups . It ' s all about preference . If you like the sound of it and it does what your expect it to do then stick with it . I just hooked up my Phoenix Gold 10 ' s after 5 years of sitting around and they sound great and it ' s what I like . So don ' t let anyone tell you that your Kickers are crappy . They do what they expected to do and sound good for what you want . No need to shatter your opinion on your equipment over others opinions . <| sep |> White Bear by far , and then Hated in a Nation . <| sep |> That ' s so weird , BJJ has gotten consistently more fun for me as I ' ve gotten better at it every year . What about it stopped being fun ? Just harder to make progress or tired of rolling with the ' same ' whiteblue belts all the time or what ?
