The Kicker Solo-Baric® SL7 woofers are designed to give more output than an equivalent round speaker. The SL7
is amazing when used in the recommended sealed boxes. These sealed enclosure SQ recommendations will give
the smoothest response with the most energy at really low frequencies, around 20 to 30 Hz.
The recommended Compa a ct sealed boxes are in line with our traditional Solo-Baric enclosures. They have the
highest power handling capability of all our recommended enclosure designs. They deliver massive amounts of
high impact bass and can be driven with punishing levels of amplifier power.
One of the benefits of the L7-Series high performance suspension system is that the Solo-Barics can operate in
larger sealed enclosures for ultra sound quality (SQ) applications without significantly sacrificing their power han-
dling. This extra bass extension and smoothness can be obtained by simply using a larger sealed enclosure. The box
can be "sized up" all the way to a .707 Qtc. enclosure, which has a very flat response, with greatly extended sub
bass.
Solo-Baric® L7 series woofers also perform well in any sealed enclosure between the Compa a ct and SQ sizes. These
systems will exhibit some benefits of both (high impact and low extension) generally sounding more like the box to
which they are most closely sized.

Barics to reach optimum low bass performance.
