Ya this dude is just real.

Thank you for the information, kicker definitely know's their subwoofer.. they know 500 watts is perfect for the 8" subwoofer.. I've always been a kicker fan.. this is good knowledge ty once again..

What youre saying is 100% true and i hope everybody learns from you dude! Very knowledgeable stuff here. However the key thing to also remember is in a perfect world this would all be to the T. But everybody owns different vehicles some hatch, some tiny coupes and sedans or huge suv’s. Trying to cram larger subs and larger boxes in a tiny trunk will sound terrible. There would be no room for the woofers to breathe. Some setups in trunks can actually benefit from smaller woofers. That being said you can just do a behind the seat build and forget about the trunk but for those looking for a daily build. Larger subs arent always the better option. Id say for small trunk builds. Go with a high power handling high excursion woofer in a very well built box. But if you HAVE the room to properly fit bigger, i definitely would go with that!

I'm ready to see those kickers moving.

Aw man you ready, can't wait to hear them sir. I have a sundown x12 about to put that in the midgate of my 2008 avalanche z71, but I can't wait, and im running a rockford fosgate t1500-1bdcp on it keep the great content coming. ✌🏿

This Dude is the truth 👍

When space is limited...corners are KING

Man I can listen to you all day. I'm from South Mississippi That's how we talk real talk

Yo! I’ve played with ALOT of subs in truck applications, I’m convinced 8’s work best! I’ve settled with DD 608’s, great electrical running 2500rms solid. Now You got me thinking about going to high school days and running Kicker!

Good information, I'm learning.

All true as long as excursion is the same. THe new SoloX series is gonna be badass

He’s 💯 correct!!

My guy!! Coming through with this video. I had 2 Kicker 12 inch CVX, wired down to 1 ohm, and had a Rockford Fosgate T1000 push those bad boys. And that amp and subs worked hella well together. Best freaking setup I've ever had!!!!!! I had the subs in a ported box, with the port in between each sub. My lips felt like they were going to fly off when bumping some DJ Laz.

Dem joints are beautiful 🤩. Can’t wait to order my set. You stay wit the full info, keep doing ya thing ach. 🫡🔊🔊🔊🦾

The other bit of info you left out is the excursion potential of the driver. You're pretty close with the surface area surmise, but the truth is the displacement capability of a driver, which is surface area x excursion. That's the real performance metric there. That is also the reason higher performing drivers need more amp power, to drive the woofer in further excursion. All things being equal, you are correct if a pair of drivers have the same excursion capability, then yes, the one with more surface area (cone area) will in fact play louder. Great video btw! 2 thumbs up!

Say my brother byou are the truth sir love the way you break shut down no sugar coating on nothing keep pushing my brother wish I could speak with you personally I have a pair of db drive G2 12s in my 2012 infiniti fx35 would like to rap with you if possible ✊

Man we had 2 of the blue barics 12s in my buddy Sebring back in the day in a super bass box we built in not the trunk would make the dirt on ya porch lift up love them subs and as long as you don’t dog ‘‘em they rock for years. Shoot seeing these I may get a couple in my truck this year

Hell yeah, kicker ! Last long !

I like the lookes of those L7 8s I run 18s Soundqubed but for small subwoofers the Kicker L7 is good.

All fact my brotha 💯 🙏 💪.

You gained a subscriber. The only thing I could add is efficiency.. IF your amplifier/power source can support a lower impedance you can in theory gain more output. Thank you for the content!

I have been doing car audio for over 20yrs. You should try some dd audio sw2508 or the sw9510 esp they get low but they also sound amazing

I've had my kicker solobaric l7 15s since 2007. Just bought a new amp a few months back because the subs out lasted the amps. Now I traded in my Yukon and got a 2021 trailboss, been trying to figure out what I wanted to go with that would work with my 2500.1 amp. Had been thinking about 4 8s. Think I'm going with the l7 8s. Wish I could hold out until the solo x comes out, but I honestly am not that patient. Now to see if I can get a box made that will fit under the seat and still allow these bad boys to breath.

Just found your channel and I’m enjoying your perspective. How would 2 of these compare to a single 12 for output and low end? I have a ssa demon and like it but want to try something different

I'm wanting on those kicker solo x.

I know one 8 I haven’t seen evl Skar 8. I just purchased two of them building a enclosure now hope I make you prod lol

I have a pair of kicker cvx d4 and a pair of skar evl d4 12s. Playing them in my bed room I notice on the same low power at 250 watts each at half volume. The kicker Xmas way less than the skar but had more output. Think about this look at the bottom and top of most kicker's cones. It has both dips and Peaks which equals up to extra area. Them 3D ridges and shape are actually adding more area cone Space. And at the same time making the world's strongest plastic cone woofer ever.

I was running 3 JL Audio 8w6 on a MTX THUNDER 2300 back in 1996... Also had 4 Kicker 03 L7 12"s on 2 MTX 1501D. POWER × CONE AREA =LOUD 🤷🏾‍♂️

What you recommend for a 2016 Ram, amp and speakers?

Wow ......I never looked at it that way

Hi , I was wondering if you ever heard of xleon amplifiers and what your opinion on them.

How do you feel about the cxa kicker amps. I got the 3600, and 1800, and the skar 4500.1 there best amp. How efficient are the kicker amps

What are you thoughts on the Kicker Solo L7X coming 2021?

So if I go from two db drive 12s 1000 rms, to two Kicker L7s Solobarics 1000 rms, I’ll get significantly more bass or would it be a minuscule difference? Assuming both boxes are tuned to 30 hz

Installers techniques without the upsale, so applicable in this better to do it yourself, world we've become. Good game

What American Bass 8s did you run? How'd you like them? I just got two HD 12s to replace my SA classics

Is kicker getting sloppy with their stitching? whats going on with the sub on the right?

Is it the same case with midrange speakers? More cone area = more output or is it, more wattage rms = more output? Or is it a mix of both, any help would be great, cheers!!

What's the best cone area subwoofer 18"

Which would hit harder those kickers in a ported box or a 4th order box? I want something that will not take up a lot of space in the rear of a 2006 Honda Odyssey.

question ? would modifying your box by adding more ports to it make it louder ? for example if the box has one 4 inch port on it, by adding 2 more four inch ports now total of 3 ports, that would be moving more air.. right. i know it will change tuning, but will it be louder or have more output ?

I didn't like the L7 12s that I had. People that didn't understand systems thought they sounded great, but I didn't like them and nothing was wrong with the box.

I understand cone area being king but what about xmax a cheap sub being bigger with no xmax vs a smaller sub with lots of xmax would be louder more expensive yes but louder where am I wrong

I've been seen alot of ppl putting 8s they're popular nowdays

Wait cant you get louder at lower frequency by also using same cone area but buying subs with more xmax

In a Ported enclosure the port controls the XMAX of a subwoofer particularly at tuning. At tuning it will not really move at all

Much respect to JL Audio one of my favorite’s and definitely a member of my Big 4

U got too much kicker subs ! Those subs will kick u out ur house MB !😅😅😅

He's forgetting about sensitivity. Subs with a higher sensitivity will be louder with the same power as subs with a lower sensitivity rating. The customer who got the two XFLs could be lower if they are more sensitive than what he had.

Theres others factors that go into what performance you get out of your subwoofers others than just cone area the materials used to build said subwoofer the stiffness of the spiders and cone material the weight of the parts magnet material (neo) type of box (t-line etc)

Q class is still good ppl don't know not all L7s. are created equal

For once a man that understands what a L7 is about. I know they aint the biggest on rms, but if u after deep hard hittin bass. I recommend any L7 in the right box with a Kicker KXA/KX amp. Non refurb on the kx amp take my word extra 100$ is worth it to have it bought new. But that setup will b. Beast. I dont know anything about Q class amps. But there subs are beast. And they will last forever if u under power them by just a lil wattage. I got 2nd gen square solobaric no sewn tinsles still running. Not once have i had to sauder. N best L7 to me is the gen that came out right after the chrome and blue ones. And moat of all i like that deep bass so i got them in a sealed box i have 9 in total just 4 12s running now. 2 2nd gens and 1 chrome gen and 1 next gen after the chrome. All on a anniversary Phoenix Gold Titanium 1200.1 wich is guaranteed for life some HOW. But the amp dynoed after leavin P.G HQ 4 ohm 800 2 ohm 1300 1 ohm did 2300 Certified. But i know my voltage isn't keeping with those numbers. But i swear i roll up bout 5. Grab my book of cds and turn radio 23 and JUST ride for hours at a time. No bs 1 time i bumped the exact sytem i have for more than 12 hours straight a few breaks to eat piss and buy n roll more blunts. N still hav them.bumping today Sry for long ass message

The L7s look cool and the area efficiency is awesome, but I don't think they look cooler than traditional circular subwoofers. There's just something so mesmerizing about watch a circular cone move up and down.

Technically incorrect.. if the cone was flat that this math would be correct. But air has volume.. the raised logo and the concave shape of the cone actually increases the it significantly.. this would be closer to a usable 61-62 not 55. Kicker knows this which is way it has that huge logo in the middle resided off the cone.. other company do the same with large dust caps or textured paper cones like the sundowns or old school Vegas or any number of subs. Keep in mind this is also a limiting factor for sq.. the smoother the surface of the cone the better the quality will be but pressure and loudness will suffer.

LL cooj

So fuk motor force huh lol

Love the misinformation!
