I don't have any experience with eclipse, however i have always used kicker subwoofers. They have been great. I have a 12" s12L7 and it rocked, its in my closet now, because i didn't wanna put it in the trans. I have 2 8" L7's and they are just crazy. I have them in a sealed box and they just sound amazing. Plenty loud for me. I would recommend them to anyone looking for tight accurate bass and wants to crank the volume every once in a while.

What specific models are you comparing? Are you considering speakers or subwoofers? What price range are you in? I have installed and sold both Eclipse and Kicker products and have always like Eclipse stuff over Kicker as it always as a great sound quality to it compared to Kicker. But if you just want to make yourself retarded for cheap bucks Kicker does offer some good sub $100 subs and amp to match them.
