7Solo-baric L5 SubwoofersInstallationRecommended EnclosuresSolo-Baric L5 Sealed Enclosure ApplicationsThe Kicker Solo-Baric L5 is designed to give more output than an equivalent round speaker and excels when used in therecommended sealed boxes. These sealed enclosure designs will give the smoothest response with increased energy at the lowestfrequencies, 20 to 30 Hz. These designs deliver massive amounts of high impact bass and can be driven with punishing levels ofamplifier power.The Solo-Baric L5 high performance suspension system can operate in a larger sealed enclosure without sacrificing its powerhandling ability. This maximum enclosure volume application is ideal for SQ (ultra sound quality) installations. The SQ enclosuregenerates a very flat response curve and superbly extends sub bass.Solo-Baric L5 woofers perform well in any size sealed enclosure between the Compact and SQ volume recommendations. Thesesystems will exhibit benefits of both designs: Compact produces high impact bass and SQ generates low bass frequency protraction.Overall, the system will sound more like the recommended enclosure design it is closest to in enclosure volume.These enclosure recommendations have been calculated with the airspace inside the enclosure and include the displacement ofthe woofer. Do not make the airspace greater than the SQ (Maximum Enclosure Volume) recommendation.Recommended Sealed Enclosures - Moderate EfficiencyModel Compact (Minimum Enclosure Volume) SQ (Maximum Enclosure Volume)S8L5 .33 ft3 Power Handling = 80W RMS .75 ft 3 Power Handling = 55W RMS9.34 L 21.24 LS10L5 .66 ft3 Power Handling = 450W RMS 1.0 ft 3 Power Handling = 450W RMS18.69 L 28.32 LS12L5 .88 ft3 Power Handling = 600W RMS 2.0 ft 3 Power Handling = 500W RMS24.92 L 56.64 LS15L5 1.5 ft3 Power Handling = 750W RMS 6.0 ft 3 Power Handling = 450W RMS42.48 L 69.92 L
