I have it confirmed from the Kicker guys when they came to OZ that they are going bigger. Not allowed to release specifics, but it is big!
not a rumour.

they are already out in the US a few ppl have them apparently

i would go and buy one, but then i couldnt enter s1-2

Krase, that must be last years l7's cos 02's have silver cone but they are still sexy
Damo95
Yes, they look to be last years as my L7's also have the black cones.. Cant wait to see them puppies smashing records..
nemesis
hmmmm real L7's in 18's?? ...hmmmmm interesting
BIGW

actually a 12L7 has the equivalent cone area to a 13-13.5" sub

but yes, the 18L7 has a LOT of cone area

apparently the offical release date is November 5th.

It's big and square, but it ain't a solobaric!
Might be the start of a new kicker square line?...
Daniel
its a Kicker SOLO-X... dedicated SPL sub (kinda line the RFL, but better and bigger!)

it weighs 100 pounds - thats 50kg!! for a sub!! and handles a rumoured 5000wrms

im excited!!

One more pic I found.



Frame of an SL7 12" next to the Solobaric X 18"
Damo95
That is one big mother of a sub..
If i had one (or 2) of them, i'd definately have the basket out..

Whats the max excursion on that thing??
Andu
That thing is huge! I wonder whats the go with the odd looking top plate?

2 x 12" L7's will be enough for me

Is it just me OR IS THE CONE MISSING ON THE 18" Solo
Bassaholic
I guess I wasn't the only one who noticed that..
Blitz
yeah i cant see the cone either

and thats one big mutha !
DD Phil
Looks pretty tough! Let's hope they've improved the sensitivity.

Yes cone is missing, it's obviously a pre-production prototype. (note many magnets to left of picture), did pic come from a Kicker employee??

Phil
narr it is the new cone it is a woven cloth cone so thin it is see thru

hehe

there is meant to b 2 versions i read one for Daily driving and SPL version.
splbound
Yep .. definitely a pre production pic of the frame.

Sorry not to mention the source of the photos which is from Polecat (A kicker Tech) from the Termpro boards.

The sub enables the user to recone it if it blows. So far... I havent found any specs. other than the 10,000W Power handling.
they must be able to play music as that car that they are in in the pic i posted above is a SQ car of gary Briggs IIRC (i have been proven wrong b4 )
Dave
omg im in love. im gonna ask that thing to marry me. oooo imagine the reply

BBUUUUUUUUUURRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRPPPPPPPPPPPPP

uhh ill take that as a very enthusiatic yes
TAB16V
Only KICKER could make such a sub......... I LOVE IT!! LOL
nemesis
i still love it, that side-by-side pic with the L7 12" just puts the icing on the cake. im about 95% certain that if i get a good listen to one ill end up buying one, hehe
basshead
bugger me!
I'd hate to see how much one of them would cost!!!
splbound
I'd also hate to see the odds of custom car soud actally bringing them in!!!

Looks like its going to be an import it yourself job people... just like all the other decent car audio gear!!
