This is the second pair of Solo Baric Square subs that I've owned, my first being older L5s w/ a 1,000w Xplod amp. This time I went ahead a bought the higher model L7, still in a 12" setup. I have them wired down to 1 Ohm on a brand new 1500w Crunch amp in a dual slot box w/4ga wiring. These subs hit much harder and clearer than any pair of subs that I have ever heard(Almost as loud as my buddy's 6-12" CVR bandpass setup w/ two 1500w crunch amps) The Powerzone line from Crunch is AMAZING, I know they're not a big name brand but their amps are built way above standard and I know that they can take a punishment(I knew a guy that had the amp for 9 months running 4 DVC Pioneer subs and had it wired at 0.5 Ohm, the amp last over 9 months before burning up, in which he had it replaced for free by Crunch. The amp is capable of making over 1800w at 1ohm. The Kicker L7s can handle much more power but I want to make sure that my investment will last. HIGHLY recommended, with the highly reinforced surround it's extremely unlikely you'll flex the sub, making no reason not to buy SQUARE (=

I've always had a soft spot for Kicker, and have had a few friends who own them, but by now I will absolutely never by another Kicker product, and I will not allow any of my friends to do so either.

I wanted to free up trunk space from my last system, so I bought a zx750 an an l7. Out of the box the zx never worked and Tech support confirmed it was defective, with the help of my old rockford amp. So I bought another l7 so that I could run a 1500 watt amp I had on hand. Once I got them running I couldn't believe how disappointing these were. These would only be good as a strictly compteition subwoofer. They put out great numbers, and move alot of air, but the sound just isn't there, its not even quality, it litterally sounded like 300 watt setup despite how bonkers the vibrations and rattles were (all the bad of subs none of the good). Every time I'd drive somewhere I'd play with the levels trying to get it to sound as good as my old JLs A few times I pulled over before i got where i was going to play with the levels. This isn't to say its not doing anything. I think that these operate at a subsonic level (hence all the rattle and vibration) that I can't appreciate which is great for competitions were its all about volume, but I just want to enjoy my music. Maybe it would be better with the zx and its subsonic filter, but I dont think I ever would not be disappointed in these subs. Which brings me to the icing on the cake. Both of these blew in under a month, taking my Rockford Amp with them.


4 months later I have written Kicker twice about all both L7s and the zx, my issues were never even acknowledged much less attempted to be remedied.

I finally got my L7 12" I've been wanting for a few years. I'm running a Hifonics Zeus series 1000D @ 2 ohms and its pushing around 750 RMS in a custom 3.5 Ft^3 vented box. It sounds super loud and clean, not to sure why everyone always says they sound distorted and like crap cause mine sounds good the only distortion I can hear is from my car being pounded to crap by this sub. I'll never buy another subwoofer for my car except a matching L7.

Awesome Sub... best price, and believe me I did my research. I've had this for almost a year now, and it hits so hard. I'm in love with it. I think I may get another one soon. Take that neighbors!

IF YOUR LOOKING FOR SUBS WIT GOOD QUALITY AND CAN REALLY BEAT I RECOMMEND YOU GET THE KICKER SOLO BARIC L7'S. I HAVE THREE KICKER SOLAR BARIC L7 12INCH SUBS MOUNTED IN A CUSTOM SEALED BOX INSIDE OF MY CHEVY TAHOE RUNNING OFF 1 ORION HCCA- D5000 WATT CLASS D AMP AND ITS REALLY BEATING UP THE BLOCK AND MY AMP AINT EVEN MAX OUT AND ITS STILL PUSHING THE SUBS WITH OUT A PROBLEM.

i had this a 2 days and the sub was somking in my trunk the gains were low and the sub just gave out on me i wont buy this sub again. my setup was perfect to the sub with a 10zx750 mono block 2 cubic air box and it just dumped out on me
