... WHAT! - I still have the subs to prove it.... ( So much for the car though )But hmm, yeah -What vehicle?

I have an '07 Taurus... I'm not sure what you're talking about though?... What are you trying to prove? Lol.

I've also heard someone say the same thing... I'm not exactly sure why but from what I've heard; the square shape allows the sub to catch more air which in turn gives better sound. Or something like that... I honestly have no clue in the actual difference in the square subs vs. round subs. So... My question is: If the Kicker Solo Baric is round isn't it pretty much just a Kicker CVX? That makes sense to me... But of course I do not have much car audio experiece (a few months).

You said it was Unrealistic....

... But that's besides the point

You gonna have a BF ( B*tch Fit ) - puts those in that trunk...

Well after re-reading the whole post I found out that there was clearly a misinterpretation... I meant that the rms being:

bout tree fiddy //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/fyi.gif.9f1f679348da7204ce960cfc74bca8e0.gif

didn't seem realistic. I didn't quote him because I thought it was implied. I was referring to your post when I said:

^

Thanks that sounds more realistic. Now I have to see if I want to keep 10s in or the 15s lol

Definitely a misunderstanding. I was wondering how I was throwing a "BF" when thanking you. Lol.

lol....

... Understood now!

But putting those in that trunk is gonna be hell - You might have to do subs up port back...

... Cause ( just puttin' some dimensions out there ):

38" W x 15" H x 23" D ... that ain't happening!

( if you take off that plastic piece around the trunk lash )

... You can put a 38"W x 14"H x 23"D in there - That's with the subs facing UP - Port Back

That's:

External: 7.08ft3

Internal: 5.67ft3 ( Without the sub and port displacement )

Internal: 3.38ft3 - 3.63ft3 ( With Sub and Port displacement )

Port: Tuned @ 33hz

OR - You can just go (2) 15s Sealed

... in that same size enclosure ( 38"W x 14"H x 23"D )

This definitely shows me I have no knowledge of the dynamics of car audio... Lol. So I'm guessing my box is no where near specs...

 

[NissanKicker 10+ year member]

You have Maximum sealed specs... and right at minimum ported specs...

.... Go sealed - It'll give you a heart attack.

Can I please design you a new enclosure? Tiny port area FTL.

I picked up an oldschool round solo 15 about 2 years ago. played with it for about 6 months before I sold it to a friend and went to my audioque. Definitely liked it alot. one of the only subs I actually liked sealed.

had a 12inch L7 i got in a trade sound like sh it but got loud for sure.

I had a 12" Kicker L7(the 2nd gen after the black ones), I shred the tinsel leads when I tried to put 1100 watts RMS into it. Dual 4 ohm coil became like dual 10 ohm...
