Description


Kicker brand icon

Authorized dealer

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.

BASSSSSSSSS

I helped my friend order a new system, including this and a MTX JH1200. Hooked up at 2 ohms for a total RMS of 800 or so in a 2007 Grand Prix. It banged but we only had it at like half gain and a quarter bass boost. The lows are crazy on it for just one twelve. I told him to get another so we could wire them at 1 ohm to get 1200+ RMS. Great Sub, don't hesitate. I give the Ease of Use a 4/5 because the coil springs are hard to wire, it would be easier to have them all together. But all the others are 5/5!

very pleased!!!!!!

this sub blows away many of the dual twelve inch setups that i have had. I'm running a single 12" l7 dvc 4ohm sub in a slot port with 750matts rms from a Hifonics amp in a Mitsubishi Eclipse. It has broken my rear view mirror off twice. This sub follows in Kickers tradition of building subs that you can beat to hell and still expect them to deliver.

Very Loud

My brother had this in a custom 3 cubic ft ported box and it pounded. It lacks a little on sound quality, but if you are looking to be really loud, buy this one. It is louder than a 15. Just make sure that if you port it, dont give it more than 600 rms, It wont handle it. Its a pretty good price too. I would definitely recommend this one.

Good for Output.

For those of you that like to get loud, like 45hz tuning on your box burps this is the way to go. For those of you that like some sort of quality in your music, please look far away from square woofers. I love SPL but these seriously just sound like a fart rolling down the road. Give em 1k-rms and smell the voice coil.

Best square out!!!!!!!!!

I have been a fan of kicker products for over 6 years now. i have owned many different kicker models and now presently own this sub. it is the best sub i have found for the money. i have it paired with the kicker zx750.1 in the biggest specs that kicker says for it and people here me coming from blocks away. this sub looks really nice and performs much better. the spl output is loud and makes everything shake and its clarity is amazing for its spl output. not to mention for it being a square sub it moves more air compared to a matching round sub that is comparable with it.

chad,,lafayette La,

I have 2 of these things wired up to a Planet Audio RXD2400 in a slot ported box and these things slam...my amp is 3000 watts max and I never turned it up past 25%...they play really clean deep bass...I broke my rearview mirror 3 times...my doors and roof flex, I was behind my friend at a red light and he said the inside of his car was vibrating...these are some of the best speakers I have had...don't have anything bad to say about them except for some breathing difficulties and hearing loss.lol..

monster of a sub

A lot of people hardcore into car audio nowadays always seem to say "squares are bad, they sound like crap, theyre over priced" etc etc. well i have four of these powered by a sundown saz 3500 and let me tell you they do not sound like crap, ported box tuned to 30. the sundown wired to .5ohm puts out 4k plus rms with proper electrical and i have proper electrical. im not cranking my gain/bass boost by any means but these things can take a beating. one thing is they love huge boxes. 4-5 cubes per sub 14-16 inches of port area per sub. thats when they really start to shine. my box is 23 cubes before port/sub/bracing displacement with 250 square inches of port. true there are lower priced subs out there that are equivalent in performance but these are very good subs. plus kicker has awesome customer service and warranty :D i cant give five stars for everything because i havent had them long enough to tell. one bad thing is that the terminals are a bit small for 2 12awg wires (wiring parallel/parallel)

very nice

I have two of these at one ohm hooked up to an audiofonix (for now) and they are just being broken in and the they are incredible. They are the best subs I have owned. The bass is very solid. 5/5 hands down.
