[QUOTE="wickedwitt, post: 7286221, member: 622908"] I've heard lower end Kickers in small sealed boxes on low power that would get loud for 250w, but sounded like trash. Every application I've heard with a true 500w or more the subs could hang with any 'multi-purpose' sub out there (meaning no, it won't be more SQ than a strictly SQ oriented sub). I used to think my L7s sounded good, then I moved to Xs. On top of having tons more output, the Solo X puts all of it's cousin squares to shame. A big thing about squares isn't really 'sq' it's just more that square have a retarded low fs and a different mechanics altogether, so they just sound different in general. It is a sound you have to get used to. Once you do, however, you'll notice they don't sound any 'worse' than round subs, it just sounds different. It's more of a full note. They have incredibly long throw. A square cone making conal sound waves takes a couple of feet for the sound to level out right. What this means is that if you stick your ear up to the sub it can sound a little wonky, you get away from the things (say in your seat or outside the car) and the note is shaped correctly and sounds just like any other sub. This excessive distancing for the note to form is also part of the reason why these things carry insanely. People with 2 15's (that didn't really meter anything spectacular mind you) were honestly being heard inside buildings from multiple blocks away. I got a call the other weekend from a buddy of mine that works in a big truck workshop. Amongst all of the rigs rumbling and machinery in his shop, he called me well over a mile away and told me he knew he heard me. I was on my way towards him, down in the bottom of a hill, on the other side of an overpass from him. When he started to hear me I was at a stop light approx. two road miles away. That's impressive carry. On top of that, CVX are the answer to people who don't like the squares. It is essentially an L7 with a round cone.
