Kicker - Livin' Loud

The right Kicker subwoofer depends on the installation space, impedance, and power handling capacity. For compact trunks, an enclosed subwoofer is ideal; for maximum sound pressure, choose the 30-cm SoloX or Solo-Baric series. Use the filters to sort by size, number of channels, and wattage.

An enclosed subwoofer delivers precisely tuned sound without the need for complex calculations. The enclosure is optimally tuned to the subwoofer’s cone and voice coil. This saves time during installation and is particularly well-suited for compact trunks where space is limited.

The enclosure type plays a key role in determining bass character and sound pressure level. Sealed enclosures deliver precise, tight bass, while bass-reflex enclosures produce higher volume and deeper bass. A pre-tuned subwoofer enclosure takes the guesswork out of the equation and guarantees a balanced result.

Impedance affects the power output: A 2-ohm subwoofer delivers more power than a 4-ohm model when used with the same power amplifier. However, 2-ohm operation places greater demands on the amplifier. Therefore, be sure to use a robust, compatible power amplifier.

The key factors are impedance and RMS power per channel. They must match your subwoofer's power handling capacity. Check whether the power amplifier supports the desired 2-ohm or 4-ohm operation. Use the filters by number of channels and wattage to narrow down your selection.

Kicker 5-channel power amplifiers drive the front speakers, rear speakers, and subwoofer from a single unit. This saves space in the trunk and greatly simplifies wiring. Ideal for a compact, high-performance car audio system without the need for multiple separate amplifiers.

A DSP (digital signal processor) precisely tunes your car audio system to the vehicle's interior. It corrects signal delays and frequency responses to minimize sound distortion caused by reflections. This allows you to achieve a balanced sound with maximum detail.

MT Audio Shop carries the Kicker SoloX, Solo-Baric, CompC, and Warhorse series. Subwoofers are available in 25 cm and 30 cm sizes with 2-ohm or 4-ohm impedance, as well as matching amplifiers and precisely tuned Kicker speakers —ranging from entry-level to high-end models.
