Kicker Solo X...?


Gearstix

Recommended Posts

ive seen way to many solo x's blow off their RMS, hell, ive seen the solo x's blow off of half their RMS, shops in my area promote kickers all the time, and I go up and hang with them alot.. I just think they are pretty crappy for what they claim to be.

Ive seen BTLs in person, on double their rms and never got warm.. so I dont know.. But I guess ill keep my comments to my self on it. My opinion still stands that BTL > solo x for what ive seen first hand.

maybe noobs were running the solo Xs because of the hype... underpowering can be worse than overpowering!

i claim that no sub is blowing off half the rms going to it IF its clean watts and a proper box. (and no 10 hz tones).

install is way more important than the question btl vs solo x.

Too many things can come into play when talking about people blowing subs. If you have the right electrical and a good clean signal, you can over power almost any sub, including the solo x. If I recall someone used two solo x 18s and did close to a 170 or more?

You know what they say about opinions though :D

How is underpowering worse than overpowering. Isn't underpowering a sub the same as having it turned down on a good amount of power? I've never heard a bad review of a btl, but I've heard of a couple with solo x's. But I'm no fanboy.

i have a solo x 18 and it is huge man! if you do fit it in the back chances are you are going to do damage to the sub because the box has to be built big enough for them..so make sure you go to kicker website and check the specs for boxes..but yea, never been near a btl but heard greatness about both..i love my kicker solo x though.. well gl and lets see some pics when you get that bitch in there ;)

which size are the DCs?

actually you can also get the solo x sound great! just tune it very low ~25 hz in a 12 cft enclosure or go 12 cft sealed and polyphylled.

You DO remember were talking about the back seat of a truck. And you wanna bring up 12 cft?
