Solo-Baric L5 Improves Upon Square-Woofer Supremacy

STILLWATER, USA – Superiority has always been the guideline behind the award-winning technology of KICKER’s square subwoofer family.  We’ve done it for years, but improving on a trendsetting yet affordable product like the KICKER Solo-Baric® L5 Subwoofer is no easy task.

The Solo-Baric L5 inherits all the same patented technology as the dominant L7 square woofer, with a hot new look and improved design for an even mightier performance.

The cone and basket take on a more macho feel in 2008. Like its ultimate SoloX Subwoofer big brother, the Solo-Baric L5 utilizes SoloKon™ technology, a vacuum-formed, ultra-rigid design with vented 360-degree back bracing used to push mass quantities of air. A Santoprene® surround handles the force of the L5’s motor and cone, and a rear foam gasket secures the stamped-steel basket to any given baffle. The logo-bearing steel basket with spring-loaded terminals, a stout magnet, and the logo-bearing protective front gasket also allow the L5 to take on any punishment given.

The L5’s motor structure also handles extreme power with high-temp dual voice coils covering a new heat-dispersing, solid pole piece, a polycotton semi-progressive spider with perimeter venting built into the spider landing, and long-lasting Spiralead™ tinsel leads. Altogether it’s a
square-sub recipe for delivering superior bass.

The four sizes of Solo-Baric L5 are available in 2-Ohm or 4-Ohm DVC and deliver force from sealed- or vented-box applications.

KICKER audio systems and SoundGate integration products, divisions of Stillwater Designs and Audio, Inc., are available for the mobile and home audio aftermarket at authorized dealers worldwide, and also through selected Original Equipment Manufacturers. Consumers needing
