ok, my boy has a grand prix, and you know like the elbow rest thing that comes down in between the 2 back seats . . he want to put a single 10 or 12 back there and build a box around it. he wanted to put a solo-baric in the hole since it is a square-ish hole. but you guys always talk down about solo-barics. i was wondering if y'all have ever seen that done or can give me a different sub . . by the way he couldn't tell the worst sq sub from the best, he just wants an a$$ load of bass!!!

thanks

Look into the hinfonics atlas series squares. these were orginally made to be sq drivers but have shown high spl preformance they put the l7 to shame in preformance and reliability. i am switching my competition system to these. maxxsonics is conducting tests against the kicker solo x's and when i get some information on them ill let you know!

yea i just use them when i cant do something normal...for instance in a small pickup....just run the port in through the cab wall behind the seat....you give up some things obviously but if you plan well the sound can be amazing and quite loud too.....

ive never had much luck with sq in a forth order. mainly because they dont like to play alot of frequencys.

If you want to go with kicker, try the CVX's. Not a big fan of the Square subs, they have never sounded good imo. But like you said he couldnt care less about SQ, so look into some Digital Design subs.
