Sealed Enclosure Applications; Recommended Enclosures - Kicker L5 Owner's Manual

Solo-Baric L5 Sealed Enclosure Applications
The Kicker Solo-Baric L5 is designed to give more output than an equivalent round speaker and excels when used in the
recommended sealed boxes. These sealed enclosure designs will give the smoothest response with increased energy at the lowest
frequencies, 20 to 30 Hz. These designs deliver massive amounts of high impact bass and can be driven with punishing levels of
amplifier power.
The Solo-Baric L5 high performance suspension system can operate in a larger sealed enclosure without sacrificing its power
handling ability. This maximum enclosure volume application is ideal for SQ (ultra sound quality) installations. The SQ enclosure
generates a very flat response curve and superbly extends sub bass.
Solo-Baric L5 woofers perform well in any size sealed enclosure between the Compact and SQ volume recommendations. These
systems will exhibit benefits of both designs: Compact produces high impact bass and SQ generates low bass frequency protraction.
Overall, the system will sound more like the recommended enclosure design it is closest to in enclosure volume.
These enclosure recommendations have been calculated with the airspace inside the enclosure and include the displacement of
the woofer. Do not make the airspace greater than the SQ (Maximum Enclosure Volume) recommendation.
