If anyone is thinking of getting one of these pls read on.
The manual says they're made for both a sealed and ported enclosure. Do not buy one and put it in a sealed box. I bought 2 a while back ( me and a friend each got one) and we put them in sealed boxes and they sucked ass. I had 2 L7 12's in my wheel well so i just put a new top on that box and cut the new hole for the SOLOX. even with 2400 watts it didn't out do the 2 12's i had just pulled out. I made the box for my friend bigger 4.0 cu/ft for his ext cab truck... ASS again.
We went back and forth with Kicker trying to get our money back because they had told us they would outdo 3 nornal 12's. well they didn't help us and we had them slated to be sold. Just for kicks I talked my friend into getting another piece of wood and doing a ported box. We made it 6 cu/ft and had the proper port. BINGO! 147.7 db with no EQ or anything. just HU and amp.
I swapped mine out for a 10 and put it in that same box( with a port added) and i am getting more that the 2 12's.
Not a bragging post, but if you're concerned with space and like the Kickers go witht he L7s (.88 is the smallest enclosure compared to 3.5 smalled SOLO X ported enclosure) but if you can sacrifice the room and have 1400+ watts and love a loud boom.. get the solo x>>> just make sure to put it in a ported box!
