Solo X Advice

[destined2race 10+ year member]

hey guys just picked up an older solo x in nice shape for $100 in a box. I think it was a good deal. It has a large box that sounds decent in but the lows. I remember hearing over the years these weren't the best for low end.

I did download the manual from kicker and it says it can operate sealed to give good low end... any thoughts? Its in like a 39"w x 14 x 14 ported box right now. Its a d2 and currently am running it with an os RF 800a2. Just threw it in last night so haven't messed with it much.

Thanks for any input, any specific box types/dimensions would be great.

Well a 2500rms subwoofer on 800rms could be the cause.

Yeah if I keep it ill probably end up throwing my AQ2200 on it, more so I wanted ideas on enclosures people have had with them.

I owned a solo x 18. It was in a sealed box with around 1200 watts. I thought it sounded really good especially for the low power I had it on.

If all you really want is lows, go ported

It is ported and it doesn't hit the lows in a pretty large box... I put that in my original post. And if its just because of low power than ill have to test it out on the other amp

Sorry, I missed that bit. It might be the low power, but like you said, Solo X's are not exactly known for their low end.
