Hopefully I'll be selling my two L7s soon and I'm thinking of buying one Solo X. My question is would you guys recommend the 12" or the 18"? I listen to alot of rap and rock but I wanna have something for Spl comeptions. Either way it will be under-powered for now because I just have a Zx1500.1. Thanks in advance!

Are you totally 100% stuck on kicker man?? And from my experiance it's hard to get something that sounds amazing to rock and rap both at the same time cause those types of music are so completly different

I have used both. I think if you are coming from 2 L7s then go with the 18. They both can be extremely loud and I don't care what people tell you, they can sound very good in the right setup. But the 18 is a huge step up from the 12.

I have the 12 in my CR-Z right now and I'm surprised how good it sounds. Don't go by kicker's recommendations when it comes to box designs though. They like smaller boxes to sound good, but can get VERY loud in large boxes.

I would go with the 18". I've been watching your build and you seem to like what kicker has to offer so just stick with it and go big this time. Obviously upgrade that amp but I think it will be really loud.

18= loud and a lot of flex

12=loud and bit less flex

[kam311]

Just go with the 18" man, so you don't wish you would have gone bigger! I watch your build log, where are you gunna put it? Lol just take the seat out man haha

I do love kicker lol. You guys are really convincing me to go with it!

Hm.. I'm glad you posted that. I never thought about the flex.

I really just think a 18" Sub in the backseat would be intimadating as hell. lol
