How are Kickers square subs?

I can only fit a single 10 in my car without using a space-robbing baffle or enclosure. I want to get as much surface area as possible so it sounds like a square sub would clearly be the only choice. The only time I ever hear anything about these is from kids that also think wings on fwd cars are mad tite y0. Opinions?

I dont know too much about them, i think i recall when they first came out that alot of people were complaining because they required like a huge box to run them, i think remembered it was like 8 sq ft. per sub, im not sure if thats what it was but im pretty sure thats what some guy told us at east coast back in the day

my friend had a 15" solo baric that had a 8 sq ft box maybe a tad smaller so if u were looking to purchase a 10 u can prolly take about 3 ft off that, just guessing best bet is to go talk to a good dealer....they make some pretty amazing sounding 10" round subs if u buy the right amp if ur looking for bump an quality

It's running 'free-air,' 11cu. ft is the volume of the trunk. I've always been anti-box, infinite-baffle FTW.

This is where it has to go, it's going to replace this sub my friend gave me. Only one 10 will fit.

a kicker L5 or L7 10" sub would work decent there... ideally you might be able to squeeze a 12" L7 in there and get better bass... they are very good for SPL but sound quality unless in PERFECT conditions suffers from these subs...

L7 is the better choice of the two. I personally wouldnt pick that brand, but then again im all about clarity

You should get an Image Dynamics IDQ-10 and call it a day. Flat out one of the best loudspeakers on the market.

I've actually decided that I'm just going to make a baffle and run my 3 Infinity VQ 12's that have been collecting dust for the past 3 years. What the hay, ya know? Might as well get some use out of them.
