WiringOptions
SoloX subwoofers are available with dual 4Ω (ohm) or dual 2Ω voice coils. Both coils must be
connected to a source of amplification. The dual 4Ω woofer will generate a 2Ω load if the coils are
wired in parallel or a 8Ω load in series. The dual 2Ω woofer will provide a 1Ω load wired in parallel or
4Ω load wired in series. The terminals with the white dots are for the first voice coil. The terminals with
solid-red and solid-black markings are for the second voice coil. See Figures 1 and 2.

SealedEnclosureApplications
The SoloX generates more sound pressure than competing subwoofers on the market and pounds
down low when used in the recommended sealed boxes. If you are willing to give up maximum SPL for
more sub-bass output, these sealed enclosure recommendations will be your thing. The 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 amplifier power.
The SoloX 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 flat response curve and superbly extends the subbass response.
SoloX subwoofers perform well in any size sealed enclosure between the Compact and SQ volume
recommendations. These systems will exhibit benefits 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 filled to 50% loose poly-fil (polyester fiberfill) stuffing. Do not
make the airspace greater than the SQ, maximum enclosure volume, recommendation.

Performance
The Kicker SoloX subwoofers were specially designed for “Livin’ Loud” out in the harsh automotive
competition environment. The SoloX is the Legend. SoloX subwoofers have all the latest technological
enhancements available and surpass the competition in a sealed or vented box. They are made of
advanced materials and construction techniques to maintain optimal performance for competition use
and critical listening.

Note: The use of a subsonic filter will significantly increase the power handling. The power handling specifications in these charts are
calculated using a 25Hz (68Hz for the Vented SPL enclosure), 24dB per octave sub-sonic (resonate frequency) filter.
