SoloBaric "C" series....

[NeverEnuffBass 10+ year member]

I just downloaded the manual to my newfound sub which is the old school Solobaric "C" series. It said that it is designed to be in a small sealed enclosure .66 cubic ft. Not recomended to be ported. Does anyone remember this series? It was way before I got into audio. Just looking for opinions and any info I can get on them.

If you can catch Polecat logged in he's our resident Kicker guru and would be the best qualified (most likely) to ask about some old-school Kicker gear.

He provided me with a spec-sheet for some old Kicker stand-alone tweeters I have had for who knows how long that I could find absolutely ZERO info on by searching the 'Net.

I have a pair of s10c's 2 ohm models. what do you want to know? They hit hard need to have .66f3^ and MUST be sealed tight or they sound like crap. They take alot of power and stay clean. It is hard to find grills for them since thay are about an inch larger than the normal 10".

round solo's...tastey. before my time and i cant find one either.

Less than a cubic ft of air space should be interesting, by far the smallest box I will have ever built. Hopefully have everything installed sometime next week after my amp gets here.

whenever i see that basket + little tab style leads it reminds me of a cheap fleamarket sub

I remember when they first came out. They were marketed toward people who were looking for a lot of bass out of a single sub setup with very limited space. If I remember correctly, they had double thickness cones and needed roughly twice the power of other Kicker subs of that time.

I'm installing an old set of Kicker FX65 components to go with it as well

It will have 550 watts on it, Ramos.

at the time there was no such thing as a "small" enclosure sub. Isobaric setyups were all the rage . Then along comes kicker with the solo's . The first actual small enclosure sub . I remember our kicker rep bringing in a demo enclosure made of plexi . It looked just like a little minature pool table with a sub in it . Twas cool //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif

Ahh , that should be plenty . Stick as close to the .66 as possible . The bigger the box get's the quicker the power handling drops with them. I'm running a pair of the 12's in .75 each with only 50w each . The output is quite amazing for only a 100w combined. Very clean, and tight sounding subs. Keep the enclosure small and the power high, and they will hold there own against most subs today //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif
