I have only one 10" solo-baric and it pounds like crazy. The sub-bass from these speakers are incredible but they do lack mid-bass. I can't complain too much though because they are only designed for ultra-low bass and to just rip you to shreds. I have an MTX Blue Thunder Amp, bridged into mono putting out around 430-460w rms. I love the amp by the way! I've also heard a 12" solo-baric with only 200w and it hits nice. The more power you feed it along with a good quality amp will deliver tremedous low-bass. Even my little 10" turns my stomach a little! Overpower these monsters and set your amp to a maximum of 100hz or lower and get ready to hurt. My only complaint is, they need to be a bit cheaper for being a primarily sub-bass speaker. |

I have 1 15" Solo-Baric and it's LOUD. I have a kicker amp that is 1200 Watts and 4 channels. 2 of the channels are for the one 15. I hope to get another 15 but it is a stress on my bank account. I would recommend this sub. But the only problem is I keep blowing it. I am on my third sub!!! I thought it was my factory deck so I replaced it with a panasonic dayglow. |

In my opinion,the Kicker Solo-Baric subs are great for both Sound Q and SPL.Solo's are power hungrey,but preform well even in thier lower power ratings.For their size and mass,they can keep up with rock and even speed metal bass lines.They give a nice tight kick drum and skull crushing low bass. Sound Q is were they shine,but still a basshead will love them.They were made for sealed boxes only,hint the need for power.With all the subs I have owned......the Solo-Baric's leave the rest behind. |

Strength:
These subs bump. And I mean BUMP! They can handle lots of power too, which means even more bumpage (LOL). They look cool too. But honestly, I think Kronik Audio subs look the best.
Weakness:
Don't sound crisp and clear and loud without max power to the subs. Costly if bought new. I bought these two 12" solo-baric with enclosure for $200 at a salvage yard. Some jack-@$$ wrecked his car and totalled it and just left his system in there. So the owner of the salvage yard sold them for $200 cash. Talk about a good deal eh? Now about the subs, these subs are terrific in my car. The bass is clear and crisp. Currently I have a Rockford Fosgate 800.2 amp powering them with a 24v audiobahn lightning cap helping it out. At the time I thought the price of the amp was exspensive ($600) but now I know I would do it again, this amp works great. Powering my mids and highs is a $550 Sony Xplod head-unit with sub controls. It works very nice and the mechanical fold-down face is the $hit. Similar Products Used: Single 10" Eclipse w/ Boss 400Watt amp with angled enclosure. Haha, Solo-baric blows this out of the water. |
