The Kicker SoloX subwoofers were specially designed for “Livin’ Loud” out in the harsh automotive
competition environment. When you push your subwoofers to the extreme, you're bound to find the
breaking point, and when you do you can be secure in knowing that Kicker has provided the SPAIR
(Simple Pull Apart Insertable Replacement) to replace all of the damaged elements of your Solo X
without a lengthy or difficult installation. You can simply remove your old SPAIR, unpack the new
SPAIR, reconnect the wires, drop it into the BAM (Basket and Motor Assembly) and screw it back on
to get your system back up and kicking in a matter of minutes.
Installation

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.
A Note on PowerHandlingCapacity SoloX 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 more bass at the resonate frequency of the enclosure.
The listed Power Handling capacities assume that both voice coils are in use with the appropriate sub-sonic/resonate
frequency filter. Always connect both coils in a dual voice-coil speaker.
