Box Building & Mounting Hints

If you would like to use a vented enclosure, but the box designs we provide you with (in this manual) do not fit because of width or depth, the designs can be modified. The shape of the enclosure is not vital, but The Volume Is. The volume, of the design you choose, must stay the same. The following diagrams provide you with some help to insure your enclosure is built correctly.

Remember:

If you are going to bend the port at 90° you will need to add 1/2 of the ports height to the length! See Below.

L7 specifications

The Kicker L7 series is renowned in the world of car audio for delivering impressive bass and unmatched performance. Known for its square design, which maximizes cone area, the L7 subwoofers are engineered to push the limits of sound quality and output. One of the standout features of the Kicker L7 is its unique Solo-Kon technology, which incorporates a square cone shape to deliver more surface area than traditional round subwoofers, resulting in deeper bass and higher sound pressure levels.

These subwoofers are crafted from high-quality materials, ensuring durability and consistent performance. The injection-molded cone is lightweight yet incredibly strong, paired with strong reinforced ribs that help to support the cone during high excursions. This combination minimizes distortion and provides a clear, powerful bass experience. The subwoofers also come equipped with a strong motor structure, which ensures precise control over the cone movement even at high volumes.

In terms of power handling, the Kicker L7 subwoofers excel with their ability to handle significant wattage. They often feature dual voice coils, providing flexibility in wiring configurations, and making it easier to achieve the desired impedance for optimal performance in any system. This ability to handle high power input translates into an impressive output level, making the L7 a favorite choice among serious audio enthusiasts.

The Kicker L7 subwoofers also integrate advanced cooling technologies, such as a vented pole piece and perimeter venting, which help dissipate heat during prolonged use. This ensures reliability and longevity, reducing the risk of thermal failure – a common issue with many high-performance audio components.

Additionally, the Kicker L7 subwoofers are designed for customizable installation, allowing car audio enthusiasts to build their systems according to specific needs. With a variety of sizes available, including 12-inch and 15-inch models, users can easily find the perfect fit for their vehicle and audio system.

Overall, the Kicker L7 series stands out for its innovative design, superior construction, and penchant for delivering powerful, deep bass that bass enthusiasts crave, making it a cornerstone in the realm of car audio. Whether you are looking to enhance your daily drive or bolster your sound system for competitive use, the Kicker L7 delivers uncompromising quality and performance.
