Kicker 08S15L72 Solo-Baric 15-Inch 380mm 2-Ohm DVC Subwoofer

Bottom line this sub pounds. Have you ever been sitting in traffic, at a stop light and felt bass from someone else’s car? You start wondering who or why, would anybody play music that loud. Why should I have to hear this Stuff or it’s to early for that crap. These are the subs that will get that reation from all us old farts out there. Not sure why people need to be heard before they are seen, but these things can be heard blocks away. My son bought one of these and as a father& son project we built a bandpass box tuned at 35hrz. The box is just a little over 3cu ft. I can now hear him turning into my subdivision. When I first heard how loud it was, I told him, I would take it out of his car at the first neigbhor compliant or noise ticket. I can acutally hear him coming into the subdivision and then turning it down. I asked him were he was when he turned it down, and it is a little over a half mile (measured in my car). As for pure audio files like myself, I would never, ever, have this. The bass is just way to over powering. You find yourself bracing for every hit. If you like being heard way before you are seen than this is the speaker to get. For the price of two good twelves you can get one 15 and Bang Bang Bang. Build a ported box/ Get a high powered amp, (we used a High-pfonics brutus 2000 watt amp, wired the speaker to one ohm, get good clean power, 4gauge or lower to a capicitor, and let fun begin.

I hope this helps some one on the fence, I know my son was for a long time. Two twelves or this thing. Which brand speaker what amp? and so on.

I only gave it four stars, because I just don’t see the reason for something like this.

I have never seen or heard a kicker sub sounding bad. This solo baric 15 will beat any 10 inch round speaker money can buy. This speaker hits hard. Highly recommended.

theese speakers sound horrible. the cones are just tooheavy to move fast enough for any kind of music note to would be buyers of theese subs GO ROUND amazon has lots to choose from stop looking at theese… a friend ran max wattage to two of theese in kicker boxes and well lets just say ive heard 3 10inch pioneers from walmart sound better.. for the price of 2 of theese you can get 4 good 12′s and an amp check theese out>>>>Infinity Reference 1262w 12-Inch 1200-watt High-Performance Subwoofer (Dual Voice Coil) Power Acoustik BAMF5500/1D 1700W Class D Mono Amplifier
