I have heard that these subs are the loudest and most economical one's you can get? Can anyone give my any feedback...Laterz

i had a single 12 inch solobaric L7 .. and i was pushing 800 watts into it .. damn that shit was soooooo loud .. i highly recommend the subs .. plus it doesnt need a big box .. that is always a plus

yea i also have a kicker square l7 sub in a sealed box with 1200 watts to it, i love it, lots of hit u in the chest bass. hey EVO do u have any dynamat or anything? and what kind of box do you have? im thinking of redoing a custom plexiglass enclosure and port it through the ski hole, it could be a LOT louder if i did something like that, and can you hear your bass out side the car? or is it that bmws are pretty sound proof? i was also thinking dynamat may be a solution too.

I just bought 1 10" Solobaric L5 and I will be picking up the enclosure this weekend. I will let you know how it sounds. I am running 500 watts bridged from a RF amp BTW.

When I shopped around Solobarics filled all my requirements: I wanted to find 1 sub instead of 2 and use a small sealed enclosure to free up trunk space, I wanted it to have power handling of at least 400 watts, and I did not want to spend too much money (sub $130, box $80).

KmanM3, do you have a grille on the sub? I was looking at the Crutchfield catalog a the L7's and saw that they grille was this strange looking, spoked, design. Not much protection provided. Also, any pics?

No pics yet..the sub is still in the box and it looks like the enclosure will not be here until next week..:mad:

I did not buy a grill yet but I kind of like the spoked design, looks kind of evil. You can even buy them unpainted and do some custom paint. I think I may buy the black one and paint some ///M stripes on it somehow. :buttrock

theres a bimmer here with 2 15in L7s, that car is insane, not looks wise but sound wise, it can out bump a suburban with 8 12s. The L7s are a nice woofer but too much bass for me

Kman let me know how that sounds when its in. I have 2 jl 12w3s but I'm seriously thinking about a different set up because the box, subs and amps is a lot weight

Hey ... no i didnt have any dynomat in my trunk hehe .. my liscence plate rattled so bad .. i had it in a sealed box .. its was pretty small .. the bass was insane .. i mean u definitely felt it in your throat and chest .. the amount of bass u get also depends on your box . i mean i had a pretty small box .. so the bass was tighter .. my friend had a larger box and it was just bass everywhere hehe .. hmmm my friend used to have 2 - 12 JL W6s with like 300 watts into each .. and i always thought his car was loud .. bu my 1 solobaric with 1000 watts into was just crazy ..
i sold it all but i am planning on doing another system .. this time i want 2 - 12 solobarics .. custom box and an orion 2250xtr (old one or an old zeus amp =)

my 12s are gettin bout 500 a piece and i think about 1 cube per speaker (maybe a lil less). I love the sound and the feel, but i know the weight is killing me. i just dont know if i can get close to the sound i have now with just one 12.

I bought them on Canal St. in NYC. There are tons of car stereo stores there with very low prices and they are also authorized dealers. I also saw a lot of L5's on Ebay for $130-$150 from various dealers.

By the way, Kicker is now outsourcing the production of L5's to China. Absolutely nothing against Chinese people, but a very big something against Chinese government letting their environment and people be grossly exploited.

Anyone know where I can get a single 10in or 12in enclosure for a Solobaric L7?

I got mine from a local store who carries the audio enhancers brand. It is very good quality 1" MDF and is the right volume for the L7. Highly recommended. :buttrock

did you install the sub yet? how's it sound?

I still have a 12" solobaric from 7 years ago. It's now been in 3 different cars. The box is barely larger than the woofer. about 14" cubed. out put is more than I need.

Yeah, I have had it installed for a few days and I am very happy. It sounds better than the 2 10"s I had before and takes up very little space. With the seats up you can still feel the bass pretty well. The rearview mirror does not rattle like crazy, etc.. but I am definitely happy with the tradeoff (more trunk space = very decent bass). I may remove the rear speakers and see how it sounds through the empty holes. If you want to hear it in person let me know. We can set something up. :)
