I have recommended products to friends due to the unbeatable prices and great shipping. I would definitely recommend these products with the guarantee Sonic provides customers. I will purchase more products in the near future.

Big power for a great price.

The following review is for 08S12L52, which is a part of the bundle you are viewing.

I bought 2 kicker L5s about 6 months. I put those in a custom ported box,and am giving them power via a Memphis PR.1000. once i tuned the subs in......WOW. I was shocked how good they sounded and how much power they delivered. First couple hard bass notes set off my neighbors car alarm. They accurately reproduce music even at high volume. Country-Rap-Rock-HipHop-Metal-Classical-Swing-Blues-Dance/Techno....What ever your into, you'll love these subs. i have them in the trunk of a 2000 honda civic. It looks like king kong is trying to get out of the trunk. You can crank them all day and not worry bout hurting the voice coil....before i put these in i had Hart EKG 12 inch squares, but the kickers just out perform them by a mile. All i can say is that Kicker Kicks a$$.

The following review is for 08S12L52, which is a part of the bundle you are viewing.

This woofer is amazing. I have one in my jeep grand Cherokee installed in a ported box at 2.30 cubic feet and it sounds so good and hits hard. They blow away my orion c10s. they are hooked up to a kicker 1000.1 amp. HIGHLY recommend. Only bad thing its heavy as hell

Great Subwoofer!!!

The following review is for 08S12L52, which is a part of the bundle you are viewing.

I Have One L5 In My 03 Camry, And I Love It Hits Extremely Hard And Is Loud For One Subwoofer! Only Problem Is That The Ported Box I Have It In, Well The Sub Is Actually Starting To Beat It To Death Literally....So Now I Need A New Box.....And Its Doing All Of This On A 400 Watt Mtx Amp...Awesome!

Great Speaker!

The following review is for 08S12L52, which is a part of the bundle you are viewing.

I love this subwoofer from Kicker!! I've been using it for about 6 months now and would recommend it to anybody. I have it in a 4 door accord and it sounds great. I have the speaker in a 3.25 cubic feet ported enclosure. It is powered by a Hifonics Brutus BRZ1200.1D wired at 1 ohm. This amp and sub combo sounds great in my accord. Kicker has always built quality speakers and they did a great job with this one.

My Kicker Experience

The following review is for 08S12L52, which is a part of the bundle you are viewing.

I am running a 1800 watt/650 rms Hifonics bruits amp to two Solo-beric L5 kickers, one already blew with in the first week of having it. I took the time to break them in, but I guess it was too much. so be advised to take it easy for a few weeks

I have 2 of these in a dual 12" vented enclosure with a layer of dynamat on the inside of the box, hooked up to a 4000watt power acoustik. I would recommend these subs to anyone, They cracked my windsheild.

Great Sub but too expensive

The following review is for 08S12L52, which is a part of the bundle you are viewing.

Bought this sub 2 months ago from this website it only cost $180.00. Very disappointed with the $120.00 increase in price, I guess the website is selling out. Any way the sub is great hits hard and very tough. The bass is clean all in all it is a great sub. I liked this website for its low prices, I guess they were losing money.

Awesome sound

The following review is for 08S12L52, which is a part of the bundle you are viewing.

I got two of these and put them in my Jeep Wrangler running them both on a Kenwood Excelon 1200 amp at 1 ohm. The sound that comes out of the subs is amazing, I have set car alarms off on the lower levels of parking garages while I was on the higher levels. If you hook them up to the right amp and do your homework you will not regret getting these.

Kicker is the best

I own 2 of these and they straight knock. For now i am running one alpine PDX 1.000 watt amp to feed them the power they need until i get a new car and get another PDX. I recommend all kicker products to everyone. BUY THESE WOOFERS!

Intense, as expected...

Holy crap these are loud! With 2 L5's in a sealed bow with a 1000x1 class D amp, you can lift the dust from your seats into a visible cloud in the air. You can feel air currents moving aruond your body. You feel your hair flap in the wind. You can't see out of the rear view mirror, ever.

The down side is that the midbass is very flat as the frequency response rolls off, and even with 6.5" midbass speakers, there is a big gap around 100hz. Oh well, I don't like the way 100hz sounds anyways. I want my bass from 30-80 hz. With sealed box and lots of power, 30-80 hz is very tight (low Q factor) and very loud.

Best subs

Have 2 l5's with a ZX1000.1 amp they really pound.Wasn't really sure what subs I wanted but I am glad I chose these ones. So recommend, you won't be disappointed.

Extreme Bass, High Price

I just got this sub about a month ago, it really does pound to the point you can damage your car. I'm feeding it around 575 Watts RMS. Although not all songs are not meant for bass, you will find that this improves all the sound. Certain songs I play can be heard down the block, however mix-tape songs don't play as good. Kicker makes great products, very high quality, although they are quite expensive. This speaker is a little too expensive I think, my next sub will be from Hifonics because they're affordable and just as good quality. If your on a budget or shopping in this price range check out Hifonics, for the same price you can get a GOLIATH which will literally break your car into pieces with the same price tag.

This L5 Rocks for SPL

Bought 1 from Sonic (excellent service and delivery BTW! keep up the great work and the great website!) for a friend's system .
I have to say that in my 20 years involved in car audio I have heard my fair share for subs, and this one is a gound pounder. We powered it with a Kicker 400W Rms x 1 class D amp and installed it in a ported 2.4 cu-ft enclosure in the trunk of my buddy's jetta.
Definetly not an Sound Quality sub (compared to other SQ subs like Boston G5's, JL W6's, Image Dynamics IDQ's) but it will play a wide range of music nicely being rap it's favorite..
An A+ for SPL, a B for SQ.
Of course that's my 2 cents...

Slammmm

I currently have two of these in the back of my car, they hit pretty hard. i have them in a smaller sealed enclosure due to lack of space.
im powering this with the 750.1 running them at 2ohms. they hit very nice.
