Kicker SoloX 18 or.... not?

Hey guys,

I am hearing mixed reviews about the SOLOX 18. I was wondering if anyone had experience with them? A lot of people are saying that they heat up quick on very little power and are garbage, and other say they take every bit of the RMS and hunger for more. Also, are there any sub(s) out there that I should be looking at instead? My build is spl > sq but I still want a bit of sq. 6 cu box @ 35hz and 2600 rms (for now). Thanks for the input guys!

Not going with the solox anymore! Looking at what other options I could go with for this application! Suggestions are welcomed and appreciated :)

(P.S I hope this is the right place to post)

Look at a DC XL 18, or the Sundown NS 18....for the cost of the Solo X thIs would be a better choice

solo x's get pretty loud on the power u have, u go over 3.5k and you will start smelling the coil after hearing it for a bit. i had 2 18's and one of them i blew and the other one, the cone separated from the glue joint inside underneath the cone.

this is what happened when i put my atomic 7k to one 18 solox, it definitely got very loud but u smell coil fast.

I love car audio so much because I will never be done. I can never win, and I will never get it finished or perfect. It always has me coming back for more, I can never get my fill of it, but I get what I need.

on the bright side, that's one hell of an air freshener :P

Just say no to Ground Pounder Customs.

More box builds

some cars do over 170db with one sub, so clearly my two 12"s can do that in my car, with my knowledge too! look out bitches!

I'm with captain stupid.

i have never heard a kicker setup that sounded good... loud yes but sounded like :bull:

6cu is a little big for a sundown woofer but with that power i would recommend the nightshade (i was doing to say Z but box is a little big i think) i know for a fact that a single NS 18 can take 20K on burp no problem so for your 2600 rms daily you should be set

Btw that was the first person. Ever banned by me while dropping a deuce. Feel privileged
