 dont get me wrong i like L5s.  ive been following solo barics since they were circular.  But i still think the kx600.1 is to much amp for the 10".

Yeah my certificate says, 705 watts, I dont know about getting a twelve in a truck box but I could always get an L7 my friend has pretty much the same setup as me except with a 10" L7 and that thing hits damn hard.
And to Jeff damn that sub mustve been slammin, how much power was she running?

at the show we clamped and measured 74 amps and 48.2 volts on the speaker leads, using fluke meters, so that comes to 3566.8 on (2) 12" L7's      Alot of power.
we didnt get a measurement but we did find a bad ground. Im sure we saw more power the second day but had a sub thatwas down a coil and we didnt catch untill after she ran
*Note to self, when you have many many batteries, be sure to have more then (1) single strand of 1/0 grounding them all, when it goes it makes everything fail*

50-75 full tilt testing burps
about 100-150 mid volume testing burps
and 10 runs with everything with everything thrown at them in the lanes
I burp is typically 3-5 seconds

Have you ever done a Solo X Kicker setup Jeff?
I got a hold of the manual for the Solo X12/X10 off their site and read the recommended box builds, I am wondering about fiberglassing it but having it still be the right measurements.
I have not failed. I've just found 10,000 ways that won't work.
When you do not know what you are doing and what you are doing is the best -- that is inspiration.
