Product Description

How do you improve the drivers that totally reshaped how the world looks at subwoofer performance? Turn loose KICKER's sick sub scientists and say WE WANT LOUDER! What you'll get is a sub with longer throw, lower distortion, and impossible power handling for greater gut-pounding power potential than any KICKER sub - ever. From the glowing titanium on the ultra-rigid cone to the sturdy cast aluminum basket, every detail points to one purpose - over-the-top bass beyond your wildest dreams. When you're ready to test the limits of low and loud, you're ready for the Solo-Baric L7.

Strength

Deep, Rich Bass, Unbelieveable Sound, Unique Design

Weakness

The impedance is a little misleading, but nothing catastrophic, otherwise ABSOLUTELY NOTHING!
