Planning to compete in Bass Wars with a pair of these in the best burp box I can build. For day to day driving in the same car I plan to run a Kicker Quad box for better SQ.
I've been running a single l7q 12 for awhile now. Sounds terrific with surprising output. It does a 143 on music. I just got me a l7x 12 last week. Built a box for it and it did a 141 on less than half rated power after a half hour of run time. I'm running it on a rockford fosgate t1500-1bdcp. With the gain set to 900 watts while breaking it in. These things are nuts.
That's killer man and 34Hz to boot (or as my British friends would say "in the boot"). Can't wait to more of these subs arrive so more people will have a chance to experience them 🤙
Pumped to see it in action, thanks Andy had to sub with this channel because i have my build on it, waiting for the 18's my sponsor is a kicker dealer i got to see it in person really pumped to see how these perform🤙
Wooowwweee, I knew it was loud. My single Solox 12 in my Camaro is way louder than my 2 CVX 10s. And I couldn't even play it full tilt because my electrical isn't up to the task, and it was only on 1200 watts. And after seeing you score 147.2, it's just more confirmation that these subs are fantastic.👍💯
@@todayslawncarellc6786 I built the recommended enclosure of 3 cu.ft net, i have a 93 so it's sitting in the backseat because it folds down. My Camaro is a project car so it's perfect to play around with speakers.
@LivinLoudwithAndy I was impressed when Spark Ed had featured 2 Rockville 18 inch(which I own that particular 18 he tested) and it hit 147 db. 1 12 inch as loud as 2 18s...now that's impressive. My buddy says he has 3 of those 12s on a 3k in his Denali. I think I may have to up my game if we street bass battle lol.
Some people are impressed with the numbers, others at the numbers with 34Hz. Me? I'm in awe at all of this with only a little over RMS which means you can literally be a loud daily driver!
@LivinLoudwithAndy that's my goal 150 + been chasing that but never have got there yet ..I just got to work harder .this time this build Its gonna do it ..but I never would have thought a single sub would be able to do it on music well sine wave music. Oh do you have stock alt on that eclipse ...I know cookie monster has just wondering about the electrical on your wife's car
@@LivinLoudwithAndy what? Your comment doesn't make any since ? All boxes have a peek frequency as in the frequency that us then loudest it will play so im not sure whats your talking about?
I doubt it. That sub doesn't have the xmax to do a 148 at 24 Hz lol. Ironically even though they are called xmaxx subs, they don't have near as much xmax as this kicker has. You can Google the t/s parameters of both subs if you don't believe me. American bass makes good subs for the money, but physics don't lie. You want loud, low bass, your woofer has to move a lot of air. To do that, you need cone area, as well as xmax. At higher frequencies, xmax matters less, but if you you want it loud and low, you better make sure that woofer can move. I'd believe you if you said you did a 148 at something like 40hz, but 24hz? Nah lol
hmm but the results should be a lot lower on the spl in a 4 door small sedan. That means I have to buy a hatchback car to get those numbers I DO NOT THINKS SO :D LOL I SMASH THE LOWS ONLY
@@LivinLoudwithAndy oh cool i just looked em up . Yah over the years sorry but ive not been a huge kicker fan for the price for the sound quality and bass output has always been lacking compared to many others for the same price or cheaper. The cheap subs seem to not hold up either compared to Ct sounds or audiopipes . But this one put down some good numbers low so it might be worth it . Over all my customers that have wanted kicker , its never made me want to go out and buy one but thats because i dont like the plastic sound and high punchy bass lacking the lows from most kickers for the last 10 years .
Every application is different unless you have the same vehicle and same power Even then the boxes need to be different for each driver You technically can’t compare drivers - so many variables The sundown U is a great driver - I hate how people assume kicker guys have no love for other brands Simply stating .. kicker is back
i seen someone get a 149db from 2 sundown zv6's on a salt 8k and the box was 4.5 cu/ft tuned to 31hz. for 1 kicker solo x being the good imagine what 2 could do 🫡
Are you going to run an L7X ? What are your plans with the new SPL driver 👊🏼
Going to run run mine on a D4S 13.2ab bridged to 4Ω mono. 2.5 cubic feet sealed. SQL
@@johnclark3067 freaking sweet! Love the D4S amps !!!!

Atleast we know for sure they will be impressed ❤️
its ya boy big d here
Thanks!
Troy!!!!!!❤️🔥
Finally 😃😄
That’s impressive for one 12 now to add some electrical power and some sound deadening and it will get louder awesome video
Absolutely!!! And Thankyou 👊🏼
Dude i like the 90s background music !! Nice touch
Thankyou man! Love it as well 🔥👊🏼
Pumped to see it in action, thanks Andy had to sub with this channel because i have my build on it, waiting for the 18's my sponsor is a kicker dealer i got to see it in person really pumped to see how these perform🤙
Game changes for sureeee!!!!
Appreciate ya man !!!
Good result on a single 12 well done
Kicker FTW🔥👊🏼
Huge sub, huge box, adequate power. Love it. 👍🏼
It does the trick ! THANKYOU
Impressive. But I'm patiently waiting for the 15's to come out
15s are gonna be INSANE
12s sound better to me

Thankyou bro 👊🏼

A 12 doing those decibel levels...outstanding!!
Truly incredible for a 12

Thankyou Elijah!
Weee almost a 150db from a 12" subwoofer.
Close enough 😅👊🏼
You would have to be almost twice as loud to hit a 150
@@K-Effect really?
@@RyanBassForLife Every 3 dB you gain you’re twice as loud. I think he did a 147.2 so if he does a 150 that 2.8dB, that’s almost twice as loud.
Ha now I want to hear it in person
It’s awesome man 🔥
Noticing that car seat, i sure hope that box is literally welded to the frame of the car.
Oh it ain’t going anywhere lol
more info pls on the electrical... stock alt? big 3?? 0 gage ofc wires.. second battery.... verry impressive single 12"👌♥️🔉
Stock other than a rear Group 31Agm 👊🏼
KXA amps are awesome
Crazy man! Awesome
That’s what I thought as well! 🔥❤️
Crazy numbers
Big time
Some of us are waiting on the 8" model 💪
👀👀👀👀👀👀
That's really strong bro
Dude I know🔥👊🏼
@ 34hz.....that's really good
Definitely! I was surprised honestly
Can some one make a video Kicker Solo X 12 vs Kicker L7X 12?!?!? old vs new
Check out Big D - he will be doing a comparison video shortly 👊🏼🔥
damn, my old dual L7's on 1500wrms each plays 139db's in my sedan, 147 on one! nice
What’s up were you get the box from?
Link in description! SDK enclosures 👊🏼
Car is shaped for SPL. Reminds me of the Honda CRX that is used for SPL because of the shape of the rear
It definitely is nice for bass - but the trunk being so shallow 12” really limits what you can run in the cargo area unfortunately
What batteries do you use?
Just two Group31 Agm’s for this vehicle currently! Stock alt 👊🏼
KXA amps are amazing and deliver power for less
@@LivinLoudwithAndy thank you
Man this really makes me wanna put a couple in the ELogtra ❤❤
Do it 🔥🔥🔥❤️
Also great video !
Thankyou Paul!!!!

What year is your Eclipse?
I have an 07 &12
That's frikkin scary. 147 on one sub. I need one. 😂
Insane to say the least ❤️🔥👊🏼
How is the lows? Is it windy ? And sick for a single 12
Crazy … thing was built to be a demo machine
It can be windy as you make it 💪🏼
@ thanks for the reply. So you’re saying it’s just a boomy shaking type of sub ? I’m on the fence of this or a deaf nonce
Impressive for single sub numbers. Should eek out a 48 with better electric.
It definitely may! Love those KXA amps tho
They make up for low electrical 🙂
Omg, this isn’t the solo x?
New version since 23’👊🏼
What are the dimensions of that box?
Oh man got to get that 15 inch l7x do a 150 with one in a hatchback pt cruiser
Easy!!
@LivinLoudwithAndy that's my goal 150 + been chasing that but never have got there yet ..I just got to work harder .this time this build Its gonna do it ..but I never would have thought a single sub would be able to do it on music well sine wave music. Oh do you have stock alt on that eclipse ...I know cookie monster has just wondering about the electrical on your wife's car
Do they plan on making a solo 15?
Yowza!! It do bump doe!!!
It do doe!
I think you’ll start seeing them in the lanes soon and some people not gonna be happy
You’re dead on bro 👊🏼
Was that with windows all rolled up ?
Both windows down does a 146.7 dash ❤️
This was outlaw one door opened
Where can i get that box from?
Check out SDK Enclosures on Facebook! Tell him I sent ya to get 50% off 🔥❤️
how does it do sealed up?
Very nice 👍
Pre-Fab? Hell no! Jake makes an awesome enclosure.
Any problems running it .5ohms? I got 2 kxa1600.1 and 2 dual 1 ohm subs. Makes me want to try.
I had 2 10” l5 in ported box. In civic si hb I hit 149.9 db. On a mtx . Thunder 1500 watt amp.
I want to see that.
So jealous...my shop wont have them for few more weeks. Some nice numbers for one 12
They can’t get them out fast enough it’s nuts 🫠
Awesome stuff for a 12 🔥
Damn that ish was dope
Bet🔥❤️
I have a pioneer mono amp that runs rms 1200 watts at 1 ohm.
Should I buy the new two ohm solox 2 ohm and wire down to one ohm?
Think i need to change my prefab box! Oh my goodness!
Easiest way to get louder is by enclosure design!
Damn. Almost broke 50 with a single 12? They are pretty pricey tho.
Pricey but not when compared to their competitors 🤘🏼❤️
BRO! how does 1 12 inch go louder than my 2 l7 15s xD
I got 2 12s in a ported 30hz but there wired to 2 ohm each
My 1 15" American Bass xmaxxx monster still got you beat 148.2db @ 24hz at the headrest driver windo 1/3 down and clamping a little over 2k
Sounds like a big box that’s already maxed out
This is flat - I’m surprised I found an actual peak 😉

Definitely not a prefab box but nice score, might change up and do 2 of these especially seeing they don't need a huge box cause I have no room much
What about on music, where it really matters?
DJ Rusticals or music we normally play is sine waves tbh - it keeps up all day - very musical enclosure
Thank you for the awesome content.
that traffic easily addss 3dbs
That’s it 🫠😆
🤣
I would get two 12s if they could handle the jp83 :(
I definitely think two could ! Clamping 2-3k to mine now
4500rms amp 😉
@LivinLoudwithAndy really? I was always afraid of getting kicker because of that reason. If they can handle 3k clean, I'd look into it for sure.
Pretty impressive. I just recently got a D4S profab HD3 box for a NSv5 12 and man it’s awesome. Were your windows open?
Does relatively the same windows down or door open other sealed - nice for demos 🔥
Those Ns's are the crazy beast sub. Hope you feeding it mad power.
hmm but the results should be a lot lower on the spl in a 4 door small sedan. That means I have to buy a hatchback car to get those numbers I DO NOT THINKS SO :D LOL I SMASH THE LOWS ONLY
That’s wtf I’m talking about
👊🏼❤️🔥 I was surprised too😳
eclipse are always super loud.
Love the hatchbacks 👊🏼🔥
I won't throw anyone under the bus but I know someone with 4x 12s that ain't that loud... Not bad ✌
All comes down to the user 🔥👊🏼 They’ll learn eventually ❤️
Got to be something wrong .. not enough power
@@joekennonmagnetizedmindz2233 it was the box size and the fact its a sedan focus... not enough room to breath lol
It is sometimes better to be silent 🤫
Of course..we all know someone that should be louder with what they have...I know a guy with 8 18s and the shit sounds like 2 12s🤦🏾♂️🤣🤣
Good number for 1 12.
Heck yeah!!!!!
Dual 1 ohm subwoofer ?
Yes sir ! They are available in D1 and D2

So… Still not as loud as a Sundown U witch is $390 cheaper

You technically can’t compare drivers - so many variables
The sundown U is a great driver - I hate how people assume kicker guys have no love for other brands
Simply stating .. kicker is back
👍
No way that box is 2.5 cubes
Lots of port area - before port
Ya that box definitely looks bigger then my box I had custom built by a shop for my DC Audio xl m2 level 4 15 and it's 3.5 cubic feet
Bruh😮
Same 😅
I don't know... seems like a waste of trunk space to only be using 1 sub. But everyone has their own preference.
You can barely fit 2 12s in a sealed box in these eclipses
Very small trunk space available to begin with
Damn a 12 doing that nice
Insane honestly
jesus christ. 147 single 12 on what like 4000 watts? all of this is just disgusting.
That box is around 6qf not 2. Cheater and lying just to be seen. No good!!!! I meant every word!!!!
Whaaaaaaaat 😂🫠
Forgot you built it 😆
Not impressive
Lol
play some music wtf
just imagine what the 18 is gonna do
Dude I know …. Will be night n day to the old x
