Well, the manual for the Solobaric C series has a date of Jan. 1997.....so I'd say it was right around that time period.

so was the c series like the first series of solos? i really dont know anything about the round ones

Yes, the C series was first.

Then the D series.

Then they went with the square L7's.

1997, but it was the one with the gold Kicker on the dustcap, then Solobaric in red printed under that, then C, then D, then L7.

I could have sworn that the ORIGINAL solos were the S series. Came out while the original comp series were still around and I know it was before '97. I remember a test report from Car Stereo Review around '94, mabe even '93. The whole idea was a Comp sub with 2 times the Mms and 1/2 the Vas to simulate a iso-pair with a single sub (thus the name) and to allow for use in an enclosure half the size of the Comp series (.75cf sealed for the first year S12).

???

I seem to remember the "a" series. Stamped steel basket that was shared with the Comp series subs. The "c" series were much later and had the Al basket.

cause some asshat is arguing that the solo is a "new kicker". 9 years dont sound too new to me
