Kicker's site does have the box specs though, it's in the manual. S18X Recommended Enclosures Tuner : 5 cu.ft. Port: 60sq.in. x 14.5" Fb= 35Hz, Pmax= 5000W ( with 25hZ subsonic filter) SUV: 10 cu.ft. Port: 150 sq.in. x 21" Fb= 35Hz, Pmax=4500W ( with 25hZ subsonic filter) SPL: 10 cu.ft. Port: 300sq.in. x 9" Fb= 56Hz, Pmax= 10000 (Above tuning freq. only) See below! This enclosure is intended for SPL ONLY! It is designed to be used with test tones above 56Hz! Playing music with frequencies below 56Hz will result in very, very bad things happening!! For more advice on box building, see the Choosing and Building Enclosures page in the Tech Tips & FAQs section of the Support area on the Kicker website, www.kicker.com Or call Technical Services at 1- 405-624-8583. ATTENTION! The hardware we include will work with baffles up to 1.5" thick. For thicker baffles you will need to use longer 1/4" x 20 hardware. |

Post Number: 9316 Registered: Jul-06 | SoloX Series Sealed Enclosure Applications The SoloX is designed for Vented enclosure/ High SPL applications and that is where maximum output and power handling will be achieved. If you are willing to give up maximum SPL and power handling for more low bass output, then you can utilize our sealed enclosure recommendations.These sealed enclosure recommendations will give the smoothest response with the most energy at really low frequencies, around 20 to 30 Hz. The recommended Tuner sealed box will deliver massive amounts of high impact bass and can be driven with punishing levels of amplifier power. One of the benefits of the SoloX series high performance suspension system is that they can operate in larger sealed enclosures for ultra low bass performance (SUV applications) while still maintaining excellent control and power handling. SoloX series woofers also perform well in any sealed enclosure between the Tuner and SUV 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. These enclosure volume recommendations are for the airspace inside the enclosure and include the displacement of the woofer. Do not make the airspace any greater than recommended. S18X Recommended Enclosures Model Tuner: 6 cu.ft., Fb= 51.3Hz F3= 24.6Hz, Pmax= 2800W SUV: 12 cu.ft., Fb= 48.8Hz F3= 22.2Hz, Pmax= 2400W For more enclosure choices check out our website www.kicker.com or call our Technical service line at 1-405-624-8583. Ecoustics sucks major d1ck. |
