Congratulations. You have just purchased one of the car audio world’s pre-
mier subwoofers. KICKER® Solo-Baric™ D-Series subwoofer’s unique design
delivers all the performance advantages of isobaric pair enclosure technolo-
gy in a single driver. The result is truly incredible levels of bass using enclo-
sures only half the size of traditional boxes.
SOLO-BARIC™
D-SERIES SUBWOOFERS
SOLO-BARIC FEATURES
Every element of the Solo-Baric’s design is optimized for accurate reproduction of bass
and sub-bass frequencies. The Solo-Baric has one of the most massive moving structures
in speaker design history, yet it still has the ultra-low distortion and lightning-fast transient
response essential for critical bass reproduction. New to the D-Series is the Solo-Baric
hemispherical cone, KICKER's most distortion-resistant cone technology to date. Voice coils
are made from ribbon copper wire, wound in multiple layers on black Kapton® formers for
superior heat-dissipation. The rest of the motor structure incorporates design/perform-
ance features that make Solo-Barics world-famous for performance and
durability...UniPlate™ construction, one-piece extended pole, deep-bump backplate,
stitched surround, heavy-duty terminals, high-power PVC-sleeved speaker leads, and more.
Additional Solo-Baric Performance Enhancements:
• Cast aluminum basket for superior support and great looks
• Flat progressive-roll spider for superior control and linearity
• Perimeter Venting to release pressures between spider and top plate
• Heavy-duty nickel-plated terminals for positive connections
POWER HANDLING
Power handling ratings on Solo-Baric subwoofers reflect the largest power amplifiers
suitable for use on each model. We feel this rating is more useful to you than misleading
“music power”, “continuous”, or other ratings often used.
The power ratings refer to the speaker’s ability to dissipate heat from the voice coil,
not the mechanical limits of cone excursion. Because the enclosure largely controls cone
travel, we have provided enclosure designs that will best prevent problems due to cone
over-excursion.
The minimum power rating suggests the least amount of RMS power per driver we
recommend when designing a system using Solo-Barics. Too little power can result in low
output and distorted sound. We recommend using as much power as possible, up to the
maximum power ratings listed in the Specifications section.
