The KICKER Solo Classic subwoofers are built to bring you the best quality bass in a limited space, such as behind the seat of your truck or in the hatchback of your car, leaving you with plenty of storage space while offering high-performance and high-SPLs in smaller, sealed enclosures.

WIRING

Solo Classic subwoofers are available with dual 2Ω (ohm) or dual 4Ω voice coils. Both coils must be connected to a source of amplifi cation. The dual 2Ω woofer will generate a 1Ω load if the coils are wired in parallel (make certain that your amp is 1 Ω stable) or a 4Ω load if wired in series. The dual 4Ω woofer will provide a 2Ω load when wired in parallel or an 8Ω load when wired in series. The terminals with the white dots are for the fi rst voice coil. The terminals with the solid-red and solid-black markings are for the second voice coil. See Figures 1 and 2.

S10C, S15C, S8C, S12C specifications

Kicker's S-Series subwoofers, including models S12C, S8C, S15C, and S10C, represent a powerful blend of performance, technology, and durability designed for both casual listeners and audiophiles alike. Each model caters to different size preferences, making them versatile choices for various automotive audio systems.

The Kicker S12C features a 12-inch subwoofer cone that delivers strong, deep bass while maintaining clarity, making it perfect for those who crave impactful low-end sound. Its polypropylene cone is both lightweight and robust, ensuring durability while producing rich and responsive bass. The S12C also includes a stamped steel frame that enhances structural rigidity and reduces distortion, allowing for improved sound quality during high-volume playback.

The S8C, on the other hand, is designed for compact spaces but does not compromise on performance. With an 8-inch cone, this model excels in tight installations, delivering impressive bass without overwhelming the vehicle's audio system. The S8C's motor structure and durable materials work together to ensure reliability and longevity, while its dual voice coil design provides flexibility in wiring, making it compatible with a range of amplifiers.

For those seeking serious power, the Kicker S15C offers a 15-inch subwoofer that is capable of producing earth-shaking bass. The larger cone area allows for greater air movement, resulting in a deeper and more resonant sound. Its advanced cooling system helps to dissipate heat during extended use, preventing overheating and ensuring consistent performance. The S15C's robust construction means it can handle high power levels without sacrificing sound quality.

Lastly, the S10C combines the best of both worlds with its 10-inch size. Ideal for users who desire powerful bass without taking up too much space, this model features a dual voice coil design similar to its counterparts, allowing users to customize their setup. The subwoofer's high-efficiency design ensures maximum sound output, and its rear vented pole piece contributes to cooler operation and enhanced bass response.

Each model in the Kicker S-Series boasts flexible mounting options and is engineered for easy installation. The subs are compatible with a variety of amplifiers and designed to work well in both sealed and ported enclosures. Together, these features highlight Kicker’s commitment to delivering high-quality audio solutions that cater to diverse listening preferences, ensuring that every user can enjoy their favorite music with the richness and depth it deserves. Whether you prioritize size, power, or space, the Kicker S-Series subwoofers provide a range of excellent options to enhance your audio experience.
