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.

Big power for a great price.

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$$.

Great Speaker!

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.

Cav

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.

My Kicker Experience

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
