RECOMMENDED ENCLOSURES
Solo-Baric drivers are designed to be used in small cabinets and behave very much as
an isobaric pair of KICKER Competition™ drivers. They are optimized for excellent
performance in a specific range of sealed or single reflex bandpass enclosures. Use of
these drivers in non-recommended enclosures can result in driver damage and loss of
warranty on the driver.
The following shows suitable enclosures for Solo-Baric subwoofers. We highly
recommend that custom enclosures varying from the dimensions…and especially bandpass
enclosures…be designed and built by an Authorized KICKER Solo-Baric Dealer.

‡ Methods used for deriving sensitivity vary widely; therefore, caution should be used
when comparing the sensitivity ratings of various speakers. Solo-Baric ratings are based
on a procedure called Theoretical Piston Efficiency, a measurement which reflects the per-
formance of the speaker in real-world applications.
