Im sure a SB 12" sub would be better, but Im sure you guys would know more about it than I.
It is for an Accord, and right now I have my kicker comp vr, but I am thinking of getting a 12" solar baric.

Q: Do you guys think that the sb would hit alot harder and deeper than the kicker? The kicker is in a band pass box and the solar baric would be in a regular box, thats why I wouldnt know. before i shell out the 200 bucks for the solar baric, i thought I'd ask you guys first. :biggrin:

The kicker would hit a whole hell of alot harder especially because of the band pass box. Band pass boxes give you more boom.

One advantage over the Kicker's is that the Solo 12's have the cone range of a 15". If you are buying the L7 then you will see the advantage. But I have heard the Kicker CVR's and they bumped pretty good also. It all depends on what you are looking for. If you are gonna buy the L5's I would stick with the CVR's, but if you are gonna buy the L7's then go with the Solo's. Oh yeah both subs are made by the same company Stillwater Designs.

Thanks.
I was looking into the L7's.
I'll just stick with the kicker cvr.

i know i'm bumping a really really old topic, but oh well....lol
i'd say the cvr's have an advantage, a major one, over the l7's, or l5's, because of one instance, cone weight.....

 

[BIG DIRTY]

Not the L7, the CVR is no where near the capabilities of the L7. Well it does depend on what your running. A L7 without enough power sucks

indeed, but you can get cvr's for alot cheaper, and get just as loud.

L5 = L7 Don't let the price fool ya, they are damn near dead on identical. While they are a tad louder than Comp VR's in most cases, the Comp VR sounds superior. The fact that you are comparing 2 different box styles as well, there is no way to say "this is better", not knowing how much power you have either.

Thank's for going ancient, now this topic will remain pointless.

I look at it this way, the solos do slam decent, but, are the coive coils squared also? Nope. A circle pulling down a square means.....FLEX. The corners are designed to flex. Get a high dollar camera and take a pic of one during some pretty NICE xmax. you'll see more flex than you think. Flex=lost bass. but, they're SUPER clean when butted up against each other in a wall, lol.

Ever notice that the cone has ridges in it? That prevents flex! There is flex with virtually every speaker cone, most of the time its so minimal it would take a laser grid to show you. Flex = poor sound quality. One big reason they sound like ass is the cone material. Plastic cones suck ass, especially ABS like they use.

I like the sound of 'SOME' aluminum subs.

And those aren't plastic are they..... Ya know why you like the sound of SOME aluminum subs and not all? Look at the thickness of the cone and that will probably tell you right off. Push on an Audiobahn aluminum cone and watch it flex. Push on an Eclipse and it wont.

but both of them suck

I had some Esclipse that worked very well, but what are we looking for as far as sound. A sub is primarily used to produce Low Frequency, Kicker Solo Barics do that very well, yeah they are overpriced, but they are a very nice Low Frequency speaker.
