Man I just saw this thing on Kicker's website, does anyone know I much this thing is gonna go for? If by any chance it's under a grand I'm gonna get it. But after reading the spec's on it, this thing might be in the 12 to 2 grand rang.

Well guy's I've found out how much this thing is gonna cost all you bass loving freaks out there. After days of my question being unanswered here, I finally realized that the only way I was gonna get my answer was to go straight to the source of the problem to begin with. So as you guessed, I emailed kicker and this is what they told me: Hello Pervy.... the beast retails for $1599. Love your bass! To whom it may concern, Love your products especially the L5 series. I own a single 15 L5 and the thing pounds like hell.Anyway I have a question regarding this new L7 that you guys announced at CES this year, which is the SoloX, I was wondering how much is this monster of a subwoofer is gonnna retail for? I just have to know cause whatever it cost, I'm gonna have one of these before the end of the year. Thanks a million Your favorite Customer Mr.Pervy So there you have it, the SoloX 18 is gonna cost a mere $1600. ------------- live & die 4 tha luv of BASS!!!!

As far as to what type of amp to use on this thing, I was thinking about going with a single amp that would be able to generate that kind of power at a 1 ohm load so I was searching last night and I came across this Mono block amp from Harrison Labs: | AE4800.1 | | Audio Engine 4800 watts @ 1 ohm Amplifier (Black) with free FMOD 4ohm output: 1200w RMS draw: 90 amps
2ohm output: 2400w RMS draw: 180 amps
1ohm output: 4800w RMS draw: 360 amps |  |

Tell me what you guys think about this amp? ------------- live & die 4 tha luv of BASS!!!!

As for the price of this thing yes it does retail for 1500 to 1600. Kinda spendy but if you want the bass you will pay the price. As for the amp(s) that you would use to get this kind of power to it.... I am an authorized soundstream dealer and the perfect amp for this sub is the Tarantula Series which retails for 2600 but we sell them for 1600.00. If you want the most watts for your money here is the amp you need. This bad boy has 2000 watts RMS of power and 10,000 + peak. I orderd one of these solox subs today and am going to stick two tarantula amplifiers on it. I'll be sure to let you know what kind of db's I get out of this thing. Here is the link to the amplifier https://www.knu-konceptz.com/Webpage/main/soundstream/tanrantula.htm . If anyone is interested in it just send us an email at sales@knu-konceptz.com and we can get you hooked up. Mike https://knu-konceptz.com

Make sure that you weld your trunk lid shut, that way they cannot steal it. Make sure that your insurance covers it and save your receipt.

As soon as I get all of the system installed and setup I will for sure get some pics on here to show all of you.... Its going in a 1998 honda civic ex, the only think im working on is getting a 5cubic foot box in the back of that thing. I will make it fit if I have to extend the rear end of the car lol!! As I said before here it will contain two Tarantula Series amplifiers.. here is the stats on that amp... RMS @4ohm 2000x1 RMS @2ohm 2000x1 Here is a link for more info on the amp... https://soundstream.com/TARANamp1.html If any of you would be interested in purchasing it pls let me as I am an authorized soundstream dealer. 
I will have two of these on kicker solox hoping to achive 18,700 watts which I think will not be a problem because this amp peaks at over 10,000. With all these watts I have to upgrade to a stinger alternator and two optima redtop batteries. To supply the source to the amp I will be using Pionners 6.5" DVD reciever. Im hoping to get 160db's out of this system at least but only the meter will tell :) . What do you guys think it will hit??

With that amount of power going to just one sub, I'm pretty sure your gonna hit in the high 160 range, maybe even 170dbs if you tune the box right. But like I said, please post the pic when you start the install. I really wanna see you put one SoloX in a Civic.....LOL.........

Hey knukonceptz, Just hook up a hitch to your civic and put a trailer on it and build the box into the trailer. That way if you have a garage you can store it and take it out and boom. People are going to wonder where that sound is coming from, not thinking that a trailer is going to have that kind of sound. ------------- Sound Pressure

Well so far I have took out my 3 Jl's and custome inclosure out of my civic... here is a link to show you what that looked like... https://sounddomain.com/id/mike_schmitz02 I went the the hardware store today and picked up 3 sheets of 1" MDF and orderd 3 Dynamat Extreme kits for the trunk. Tommarow I will probably start stripping everything apart and figure out how the hell im going to get the 5 cubic feet out of there lol... going to for sure have to use the spare tire well. Well I get my ass in gear and get moving on this project and get some pictures of for you all!!! You guys are probably looking forward to this just as much as I am!!! Mike

Great looking car knukonceptz. That custom hood is off the chain. I just want to know how are you gonna get 5 cubic feet out of that trunk? Hey maybe if you do a little fiberglassing as well, you might could pull if off. Oh well, I just can't wait to see it.
