Description


Kicker brand icon

Authorized dealer

The Kicker Solo-Baric L5 woofers inherit all the same patented technology as the dominant L7 square woofers at a more affordable price target. The 08/09 series offers a hot new look and improved design, specifically with the new SoloKon technology and heating disbursement. The patented square design allows for 18% more cone, which translates to more sound for you compared to competing round subs. The SoloKon one-piece, injection-molded cone offers full-coverage back bracing that pushes more air and creates louder bass than ever before.

The Santoprene rubber surround of the L5 handles the power of the motor and cone, and a rear foam gasket secures the stamped-steel basket to any given baffle. The logo-bearing steel basket with spring-loaded terminals, a stout magnet, and the logo-bearing protective front gasket also allow the L5 to take on power like never before.

Kicker still outstanding

The first Kicker I owned was a competition 12 and it was really amazing. I think the solo-baric series is even more amazing in terms of output and box size. I built a custom box for my 8" solo-baric and installed it behind the seat in my Honda. It took a lot of planning to get the box design right, but once you decide on the dimensions and port length, it will really sound awesome and that's what matters. Keep in mind, that because of the square cone, you will be getting a surface area that is more similar to a 10".

Wow!!!

I installed this in the center console of a 2003 Tundra with roughly .35 of vol. It is amazing. It won't rattle your doors off but will allow you to get a solid sound with virtually no space.
