The Kicker Solo-Baric L7 woofers continue to be the best sub in their class. The patented square-woofer technology allows for 18% more cone, which translates to more bang for your buck compared to competing round subwoofers. All new for the 08/09 series is a redesigned and improved SoloKon one-piece, injection-molded cone with full-coverage back bracing that pushes more air and creates louder bass than ever before. The new beautiful look was inspired by the big brother SoloX series, and it's making everyone at Sonic go crazy as it's tougher looking and better-performing.

In addition to the SoloKon improvements, the new L7 woofers also provide a much easier installation. The solid pole piece allows more heat sink capabilities and perimeter venting is built into the spider landing unlike previous years. This also allows for a shallower installation as you no longer have to account for venting through the back of the magnet. To make things even easier on the installer, Kicker moved the binding post to the corners of the woofer allowing for an easier connection when running the subs in parallel or series.

I put one of these in a 2007 Honda Civic and it sounds great. I built a 1.47 cu. ft. box with a 2"x9.5"x21.25" port as specified by Kicker and hooked it up to a Kicker ZX 400.1 and it hits really hard. I was pleasantly surprised by the smooth response and how loud it is. I never thought I would have to use sound dampening with such a small sub but everything in the car rattles. GREAT product at a fair price.

This sub hits hard and accurately - if you build the proper enclosure and give it plenty of power. I am using the sub channel of a JL HD900/5, 500 Watts RMS. 'Not forgiving of low powered amps. ' Huge and heavy magnet, with great post design. Perfect for smaller enclosures. I am using it on a bike! I bought it to replace the L5 which lost a voice coil. This is a beast. Sounds like 2 8's, if you set it up correctly.

I recommend this sub to everyone I ordered it for my buddy he has a single cab Colorado and it pounds its hooked up to a 2000 watt Power Acoustic Stax puts out a lot of bass better than two tens easily and is super clean great for the price as well. This sub is in a ported box as well its way more than I ever expected.

I am using two of these subs in the truck of my BMW 330ci convertible. They fit perfectly underneath the convertible top storage compartment. For the limited amount of space these subs produce a great solid sound that don't over do it.
