Kicker SOLO-BARIC L7 Serie Manual Del Propietário página 3

Do not install a port opening against a solid surface, such as an internal brace, back-panel or trunk wall,
seat or interior panel of your vehicle. The port opening must remain unobstructed. Use the smallest
dimension of the rectangular port as the minimum amount of space between the port opening and any
solid surface to insure unrestricted airfl ow.
If you prefer an ultra-smooth bass response, you should loosely fi ll your L7 enclosure with poly-fi l
stuffi ng. Ported designs will require covering the end of the port (located inside the box) with grill cloth,
chicken wire, or expanded metal to prevent the poly-fi l from exiting the port. The use of poly-fi l will slightly
decrease effi ciency, but will deepen and extend the low frequency output.

The Solo-Baric generates more sound pressure
than an equivalently-sized round speaker and
excels when used in the recommended sealed
boxes. These sealed enclosure designs give
the smoothest response with increased energy
at the lowest frequencies, 20 to 30Hz. These
designs deliver massive amounts of highly-
accurate bass and can be driven with punishing
levels of amplifi er power.
The Solo-Baric high performance suspension
system can operate in a larger sealed
enclosure. This maximum enclosure volume
application is ideal for SQ (ultra sound quality)
installations. The SQ enclosure generates a
very fl at response curve and superbly extends
the sub-bass response.
Solo-Baric woofers perform well in any size sealed enclosure between the Compact and SQ volume
recommendations. These systems will exhibit benefi ts 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.
All sealed-enclosure airspace should be fi lled to 50% loose poly-fi l (polyester fi berfi ll) stuffi ng. Do not make
the airspace greater than the SQ, maximum enclosure volume, recommendation.
VENTED ENCLOSURE APPLICATIONS
These boxes are the enclosure of choice for outrageous street bass and high performance SPL contests.
If space is not a problem and you want to get the most from your Solo-Baric L7, try one of these ported
designs. You will not be disappointed. Solo-Baric subwoofers will handle massive amounts of power in
any of the recommended enclosures, minimum or maximum. The smaller enclosures are best for use in
limited-space applications. The larger recommended enclosures will yield slightly more bass at the lowest
frequencies.

The ported Compact design increases bass effi ciency and fi ts in many space-limited applications.
Although it is the smallest recommended ported enclosure, the output from 30 to 80 Hz will be
considerably higher than that of any sealed box. The SPL / Deep Bass ported design has even more
output in this crucial frequency band. The SPL / Deep Bass is the largest and most effi cient enclosure
design.
