- new video of #soloX 15 inch compared to the #L715 includes lbs of each and some of the issues with the new subwoofer that the older L7 seems to have be equipped with for example coil 1 and 2 are labeled. #kicker (L715 , L7X and L7qclass all have the same cutout specs as per kicker website)
One Solo X 15 in a custom box with that single KXA 2400.1 he has would destroy the previous setup he had with the 2 L7's. The setup he has now is so hindered by his current subwoofer box that it would have been better to have built a custom box for the L7's because that prefab box is hindering those subs too.
You never really experienced the regular L7s because that box is no good.
this people with any knowledge on car aufio never eer use pre fabs always build a box for a certain sub for BEST Sound
I like the fact you’re doing this video. The outcome will not show the Solo X’s full potential due to the box not being specd and the amp will barely move them. I have (2) X 12’s on 3700 rms and they are laughing at that power.
Agreed, he would get more for the money buying or building a custom enclosure. These Solo X 15's are not drop-in replacements for the L715. Also yes he is going to need a second one of those 2400 amps for those subs or more, preferably gain match sense the subs in this case share the same air space ... This is the thing I love about car audio. You mess around and find out. Keep testing! .... Suggestion: Go ahead and look into a new enclosure. Port Tuning, mounting and air space will differ. But I do understand the need in the mean time. You gotta have something until then. Basshead doing basshead things, Bass on!!! I'd love to get my hands on those but waiting on the 18" Solo X.
yeah a friend have yeah he max out go get a bigger amp it's taking it and not clipping at all
This kxa 2400.1 makes around 3800b watts
Kxa does 3500 to 3800 at 1 ohm I got mine wired to . 5 and it's quite a bit of power kxa line uses all high quality components so it handles the low ohm load decently my smart 3k does more power but don't sound half as good as the kxa kicker amp
@@PhiMobileSounds- This QBomb ported enclosure is divided in the middle, so each 15" is in it's own chamber. Also, Last time i heard, that Kicker will Not be making the New Solo L7X in a 18"😒😢
Sound like you got good deal on them online.. Over all how did you like them?
I posted the invoice for them 700 each free shipping and i bet shipping wasn't cheap these weigh 60+ lbs each They definitely handle the kxa2400.1 with no problem. The regular L715 would start to smell after so long slamming bass with that kxa2400.1. But here in a little bit I'm going to hook up a #taramps8000 to feed more power to them. But I like them.
@@jerebo84 got em for 700 big Jeff will do that for anyone he don't turn down money
Glad you made this video. When you get time, build or have someone build you a box for 1 of those and have another one built for 2. I have one solox 15 in a box built to spec (5 cubes) and 1 JL 1500 on each coil and its still not enough power for it but it gets down. I have it in an Audi Q7. I also have a solox 12 in my lexus es350 powered by two strapped JP2300 at 2ohm. Now that set up is killing the all the notes. You need more power so the sub will see more power after rise ao you need more available. Enjoy your subs. You should probably sell one of those 15s cause i promise you only need one. I plan to get the 18 too when it comes out. I have not need to try the 10
Isn’t one coil solid colors and other coil has the dots that’s enough to tell the coils apart ? As of wiring for 2 dual 1 ohm subs is wire both in series than parallel them for a 1 ohm final load. But the way you’re saying it is correct for the ones who don’t know nothing or care audio terms .
I love the video, no diss on your box but it looks to be made with to thin of wood for this hi wattage type of build. You can buy the best , better equipment but if you dont have a proper box its not going to perform well.
Those subs look really good. Do you have plans for power and box upgrades?
Lol-ol-ol, "what can I prop the box up with" an experienced car audio enthusiast walks up and just flips it onto its back which is how you should load/unload woofers 😂
Bi+
Also both models of subs are the same size the main difference is the size of the surround being significantly bigger and therefore the corners have been re-engineered to allow the massive amount of excursion the SoloX7 is capable of.... Also usually anybody who spends the kind of money on a pair of woofers like SoloX 15's is going to either build a box according to existing box designs for these woofers, have a custom box made for them or spend the big bucks and spring for a Gately Audio box! There really is no point in buying these if you're only ever going to run them in a very thin single layer MDF Qbomb prefab which is literally tacked together with brad nail and some wood glue 😂 if you had some real power to feed them they'd blow that poor box apart within playing your first song!
I had same exact set up L7S on a kxa 2400.1 wire to half ohm got 3500 watts out of it pretty easily.
Yeah the kxa2400.1 is nice . I gained 4.7db with only changing my subs out from the L715 to the L7x 15. I even made the thumbnail a screen shot from kicker.com for the morons who think the soloX isn't an L7 in my part 4 of this seriesof only changingout the subs. And then a bigger amp then box . It's literally in the name lol but I'll buy your kxa2400.1 if you Wana sell it. I'm putting a #taramps8000 on these l7x subs tonight
@@jerebo84 the new warhorse amps made for the solo x subs will be here by April I believe .kicker said they was expecting cting first quarter of 2024 those amp do 3600 RMS and have comp mode that gains quite a bit more power I house design full bridge technology.
@joshholden8561 bro I have access to an og warhorse 10000.1 brand new in the box. I'm just not trying to run 48volts in my range rover. Way to many computers and sensors, I'd be afraid to cook one of'em
What did u do to fix the gaps on mounting the subs i think theres square spacer rings that could fix this or u would build the same thing urself if u have wood cutting tools
Nothing yet gaps still there
Why are those logs there?….. kidding lol, sick system bro!
I was afraid the subs would slide out in the ground. And when removing the left side sub you can see in the video , the logs worked as intended lol
@@jerebo84I was just razzin ya bud, had to razz my kicker fan! Old school you are. Probably dreamed of having that setup for a while hey! Never got my dream system till I was almost 40
You do understand there's a difference between the old L7's and the new Solo X's right? The new Subs require almost three times the amount of airspace. You were going to suffocate those beautiful subs and either blow them or your amp.
I use blown L7 and solo x sub motors add a t. I. Basket on the motors and make custom banger subs the 12 l7S and q class look like same motor design. 2.38 inch coil.
Mmmm, talk to me. I’m currently running an older TC sounds/Eclipse 15”. And have a Solo X 12 laying around that mmmm, is a wee bit squeaky. Hate to see it just sitting around, but I’m past square woofers… What can I do if I’m able to source another Ti basket? Could you mail a drop-in?
@@APinTheAK no I don't have the solo x motor here but I can definitely build a nasty sub using the t. I. Basket and the solo x motor. I've built 5 of them like that using the solo x motor and ti baskets all turned out amazing and still pounding away going strong still most ppl have a 2k or 3k RMS amp on the sub after I rebuild them they are built to handle 2k to 2500 rms
U can wire that kxa 2400.1 I have same amps wired to . 5 half ohm with impedance rise u will around 1 2 ohms if u wire to 1 ohm ur gonna get half the power impedance rise from 1 might arise up to 4 or 5 ohm then ur not getting any power from a amp that does like 3500 3800 watts look up amp Dyno video on CZcams on the kxa 2400.1
Tomorrow I'll look at the birth certificate that came with the kxa2400.1 and see what kicker says it will do and let ya know. I've been looking for another one. And believe it or not I gave my buddy one for free like 1 yr ago and now I'm on the hunt for a 2nd kxa2400.1. But I wasn't sure it would do half ohm if I did one per sub. I was going to wire each sub solo at 2ohms since the kxa2400.1 will do 2400.1 at 2 ohms. But ima add a new video tomorrow adding a #taramps8000 for a temporary amp until either I get the new warhorse or a 2nd kxa2400.1
Now it seems like you like your lighter low watt Kicker L7 subwoofers better. Now if so how come you bought the Solo L7X and not the Kicker Q class L7 subwoofers?
those are temp discontinued
Make a baffle for the box to fit new subs
I'm thinking about upgrading from my L7 15's to some Sundown x15's V3's
Check cone area . I'm about to upload another video further proving my point when I said the new L7x15 is smaller than the regular L715 . The L7x15 has a cone width of only 9-1/2 inches. And since the cone area is square it's not hard to see the overall cone area is not much. According to kicker the square sub has more cone area over round subs but where's the cone area on the L7x15?
@user-lk2kz7nl2f the old soloX subs had more cone area than the new SoloX line. The basket is significantly smaller.
Is the air space going to work properly with the X’s?
Works good enough for me. I only wanted to upgrade my subs because I have to be able to pull the box out from time to time. I'm at 5 cubic ft per sub , the port not included in the length x width x high calculation. The port is small though according to kicker.com.
Bro get a good box for those solo x they need a good low tuned box
They both have the same cutout dude jus you have a prefab box which sucks because they make holes a little bigger to accommodate most square woofers but kicker did slim down on the mounting rings and i bet the l7 would have the same issue on each corner if the screw holes was there too get a custom box and do the cutout of 13 3/4 and see wont u have a perfect fit for them both L7X and the L7
You can see the foam on the back side of the old L7 and the dust on the box, if the old L7 had a screw hole, the screw would definitely hit wood.
I know it's not my build but I hate when people pay good money for subs but use sorry ass boxes and then try to justify them. My enclosure cost more than my sub but to each it's own.
The box I have is 5cubic ft per chamber not including the port area. Kicker recommended 5 cubic for the sub. Once I add a baffle to seal up the corners on each sub the box is the recommended size so.......
@@jerebo84your bix ain't made for that sub it's made for the other sub. In other words bass heads like myself get boxes made for the subs. We don't use the same box. Now if you invert the sub that's different.
@@jerebo84I understand what your saying but when you build the box counting motorsize and all your gonna get a better sound.
@biggdame21 the fuq? Did you not see what this series was about? It was intended on or for those who only wanted to upgrade their subs. People spend lots of money on enclosures, and like myself, they may not want to switch out their box. For example, you have an impala SS with a blow through. You have the Chevy Cross ✝️ as your port into the cab, You want more bass to feel it I your chest. And the company you already have the subs for (kicker 10, 12, 15s all L7class) has a sub available, that's better so you think hey, buy it! thinking, Ok same company, same L7 line, it should bolt up , and you order them....... Welllllll it comes, your expecting a bolt in application because you didn't order an L5 or a round sub you ordered a 10, 12, or 15ich L7 sub from them. And it come smaller.....Now everyone who has that custom box is fucked . Because now to suit, all the commenters and dreamers who cant afford these subs wana put their two cents in, and wana say , "it doesn't matter if the new sub is smaller, you must spend the money to accommodate the smaller sub and buy a new fucking box! "
( off topic but I Wana talk shit to the dumb fuck who mentioned engines and Boring out an engine in comparison to these subs, because he was retarded. ) Simply because, when you bore an engine out, you make the hole bigger, has nothing to do with the stroke. And I said kicker was all about cone area with the square subs, over there circular subs because more cone area, ment more air movement, their words not mine!
So, that dummy said something about the engine and boring the engine out in comparison to the cone area and stroke. There's absolutely no correlation because if you bore an engine out, the hole gets wider , but the stroke doesn't get any longer!)
But I suggest watching the series, read a few comments, and see if someone already said similar dumb s#!+
@biggdame21 how do you know what subs the box in the video is for? What crystal bal do you have that would make you think that box is for the previous subs vrs the new subs..... both subs are kicker by brand, both are L7 subs, not kicker comps or L5's , however both are L7 subs and the new L7X15 is smaller than the L7X15 subs. Not a different brand or line both L7 15inch subwoofers
I believe those subs go for 699.99 each from kicker.
Nah go look at them kicker.com has the prices
Those solo x yake up more soace inside the box they wont be as loud as the other subwoofers.
4.7 dB louder in the same box and using the same amp as the other L715s
I was thinking the same thing man.. that enclosure is no where near what those runs require
U keep comparing them they are not in the same category grapes to oranges
Funny the way the tape measured lied right on film.
I know right lol. It was tripping me out. But it's evident the new L715 is smaller than the older L715s
Like comparing a sa sundown to a zv6 lol
The box is shit with L7s in that small air space your tuning prob in the mid 40s you spend 1500 on two subs when all you needed to do was spend 500 on a custom build box, it's crazy how much money people drop on car audio that turns out being spent for no reason. DO RESEARCH BEFORE YOU SPEND 1000S. what the other dude was saying one solo x in the right box would crush both of your old subs.
Do your research to know I didn't buy this box when I got the L7x15's subs. You typed that dumb ass comment not knowing if I already had it or purchased it with the new subs lol you people say the dumbest shit. I already had the box and as the mini series said , these videos are to show people the difference in the sub and for them to make a decision to upgrade only their subs like I intended to do. Not everyone cares what you would do with your subs and your enclosure. However someone will see this video and know they'll have to modify their enclosure baffle to accommodate the smaller subs. You said " you spend 1500 on two subs when all you needed to do was spend 500 on a custom build box" what the fuck ? What made you come up with that in your comment? You clearly didn't watch the series on these subs and my experience with only wanting to upgrade my subs. The older L715 subs sounded great in the box, the new soloX L7X15 subs came out and I only wanted to change out my subs. The box was already there didn't buy it with the new subs. I figured I'd write it since maybe you have hearing issues and didn't hear me elaborate on the situation on only upgrading the subs when I mentioned it in almost if not all of the videos pertaining to this sub
The L7S doesn’t compare to the X at all.
This has to be the worst... what you are talking about is not important. Put things in the correct box and do sht right".. geez
Thats why u Research before you buy.
I built my box before I got my sub.
U have to be smarter than what you're dealing with 😂
You're an idiot. Go read the comments. It's been said a few times all square 15s have the same cut out size . However the soloX is smaller as shown in the video.
cheap assss pre fabb go build a REAL enclosure
Hope you’re not putting them in that garbage box that’s way too small.. a box for one L7x 15 is about as big as that pre fab
Yup, I damn sure did . Now stop pretending you have a crystal ball and can determine enclosure specs magically.
@@jerebo84 it’s not magic my guy.. kicker published specs for what size enclosure they should be ran in.. and that POS prefab isn’t even close to it
