Thank's for taking the time to do this, Big D, great information! To all the people complaining about the fully Loaded= with 4- 600 watt square kickers, in the Kicker Quad Box for $1799. Now you see what a Kerf Ported, Internally Braced, and Double Baffled enclosure is worth!
Good video. I only tried one prefab box since i have been into car audio. Once you go custom you don't go back. I have had some great builders but that mbe gets the job done. Simple and effective is the key. Much love to all.
I would go with the GP Car Audio. They will literally build you any box you want. You have one sub? Sweet. You have 6 subs? Let's do it. Just give them your sub specs, and your space requirements, and they'll make it happen.
I am with you on that. For the price of the Gately box I could buy a used Delta Unisaw, used Makita jigsaw, some birch plywood and still have money left over for the Subwoofer, lunch etc.
Yea he works exclusively with these brands and knows the specs to the T of what kind of box the subs need with as much port area you can get!! MBE for the win.. Those Gatley boxes are six tho!
In free air, these have a lot of aerodynamic noise (presumably because of their cooling and that aluminum piece on the top of the pole to cause turbulence and act as a shorting ring). Does it sound clean/low distortion in the box. Older L7s I’ve heard always sounded really bad from a sound quality perspective.
Most of the popular brand prefab boxes I've come across in last 30 years seem to always break on seams because they use a thick almost caulk type glue that doesn't soak into MDF.....and fails...maybe thats just me
I built a box for my 3 SL7 15s out of 1 inch Russian Baltic birch and I can tell you it's beastly.. no flex... Hits crazy highly recommend it is verrrry expensive wood tho
Awesome video as ways my dude, i do have to agree with some of the gentleman in the comment section about the prices of some of the listed boxes, for the price of some of those boxes yoi can get your self two of these solo x subs and a middle grade box and bump. In my case i make my own boxes based on my installation needs, i got the mobile solutions gear to make them look pretty now lol, on another note some of the boxes you showed here are priced very well. If i didn't make my own stuff, i would buy one of those.😎👌
Gately has such a nice box but come on....thats too pricey. For the price of the single enclosure box you can buy another 12 inch and a cheaper box and still bump
I use to think like you but you have to put yourself in his shoes. He's probably getting stacks on stacks on orders. High prices slows it down and reinvest in new and better technology like He's been doing. Your also supporting him by paying that price. Now all that aside he could drop the price at least 20-30% lol
I thought it was. My x8 is great in it's Gately box. I see it as he did the homework. He has the tools. He and his people built it. All I did was throw money. It's beautiful and sound amazing.
@@JeepAndBass Well your kinda right, I do have a few credit cards im paying on, but Gately charging $2k for a "two" 12 inch sub pre fab? Ill make you a deal, buy that box and post it, then Ill will too. We will see who can afford it.
@@JulianJohnston919 means I have plenty of his boxes to the point I don’t care what anybody says, they are worth the price and can literally withstand an entire vehicle parked on them. You’re buying something more than others even come close to offering by paying his price. Just saying 🤷♂️
is kicker paying these guys to advertise their subs???? Its spamming every channel lol. Never seen any other sub manufacturer get the attention to a new sub vs what kicker is getting.
Kicker has been in business since 1973 and this is only the second coming of a true SPL sub from them. We should all be excited. They are providing some samples for review but I don’t need another subwoofer so I don’t see this as payment. I’m making this content since it’s getting a lot of interest
It’s arguably the most anticipated woofer in the last idk 5 years. It’s just a matter of everyone is getting them now, excited, and posting content. Some are likely paid something. But many are not. I’ve seen plenty of normal bass heads or installers just happy to get them. Heck, I don’t think Gately is a kicker dealer and definitely not a fan boy but he whipped up those gorgeous Boxes right away.
@Andrew Connor if I was making a living building boxes I would as well. Lol my very first subs were some 15 inch competition kickers with a linear power 5002 on them in the late 80s. I'm familiar with them since I've owned Several. I was watching a video from Sundown and they were displaying them. I'm wondering if JL audio is going to do so as well. I looking at this youtube video of them saying what other sub can you buy that's $700 and handles 2000rms. I was thinking there are a ton of em out there that can for that amount of money or less.

Thank you for sharing our enclosure. Just so everybody knows. We are all free shipping so the price you see is the price you pay. Thanks again
Awesome 👏
Hell yeah Tyler!
GP Looks good. Significantly less than the other reputable brands and excellent product specs
GP Tyler makes some killer boxes. I've bought 4 from him 😎👍
Got one for 2 12 L7S?
Thanks for the shout out
Like a boss!!
Recognize~ your stuff looks good.
MBEnclosures for the win!!!💯
$900 for an enclosure is nuts. I don't care what it's made of.
Thank's for taking the time to do this, Big D, great information! To all the people complaining about the fully Loaded= with 4- 600 watt square kickers, in the Kicker Quad Box for $1799. Now you see what a Kerf Ported, Internally Braced, and Double Baffled enclosure is worth!
Crazy there are already so many choices out already! Rumor has it someone might be doing a box build and putting out free plans for it 😉
Wonder who dat may be? 👆
Rumor has it he or she is gonna give it away too 🙄🤔
sub & enclosure
It might as well be me😁😁
Good video. I only tried one prefab box since i have been into car audio. Once you go custom you don't go back. I have had some great builders but that mbe gets the job done. Simple and effective is the key. Much love to all.
I know the Gately cabinets are nice, but damn!
Exactly... my pockets ain't deep enough lol
Where can you buy solo x?
I would go with the GP Car Audio. They will literally build you any box you want. You have one sub? Sweet. You have 6 subs? Let's do it. Just give them your sub specs, and your space requirements, and they'll make it happen.
I’m soooooooooo glad I can build and design my own boxes
I am with you on that. For the price of the Gately box I could buy a used Delta Unisaw, used Makita jigsaw, some birch plywood and still have money left over for the Subwoofer, lunch etc.
That’s totally up to you guys 👌
MB Enclosures makes some nice boxes & he knows his stuff💯👍
Yea he works exclusively with these brands and knows the specs to the T of what kind of box the subs need with as much port area you can get!! MBE for the win.. Those Gatley boxes are six tho!
Man, I'm still wondering where my Kicker x 12 is lol. can't wait to see it bump.
Looking forward to hearing this beast bump doe
👌😬👍
MBE is the way to go. Now that Atrend box looks affordable.
His boxes look unfinished. Yes, I'm aware they sound incredible.
@@kennymccormick8295 they look stained and cleared lol
Awesome 👌 thank you !
Thanks for the video 👍👍
That Dual 12” box by Gately is so sweet. I can see at JP63 hooked up to that and those Solo’s flexin like a MOFO!!!!!
In free air, these have a lot of aerodynamic noise (presumably because of their cooling and that aluminum piece on the top of the pole to cause turbulence and act as a shorting ring). Does it sound clean/low distortion in the box. Older L7s I’ve heard always sounded really bad from a sound quality perspective.
I bought the biggest 15" box from atrend and my comp Q class on 1500 watts made it falll apart. GP high output 15 box has been amazing for 2 months.
Most of the popular brand prefab boxes I've come across in last 30 years seem to always break on seams because they use a thick almost caulk type glue that doesn't soak into MDF.....and fails...maybe thats just me
Can it be put in a sealed enclosure?
I built a box for my 3 SL7 15s out of 1 inch Russian Baltic birch and I can tell you it's beastly.. no flex... Hits crazy highly recommend it is verrrry expensive wood tho
Awesome video as ways my dude, i do have to agree with some of the gentleman in the comment section about the prices of some of the listed boxes, for the price of some of those boxes yoi can get your self two of these solo x subs and a middle grade box and bump.

What happens if I put two in number 5 atrend box?
GATELY AUDIO for the win🎉🎉🎉
And I was complaining about spending $350 on materials to build my box. BTW. Got my design from “Intune” very good deal with them.
I was not expecting this sub to need 3 ft.³
any one know the tuning on the atrend box I do t know why they dont list it. most of the time they don't list it it's 40 hz or better ..
I thought you were going to actually buy the boxes and do the hearing test. That would be epic.
Gately has such a nice box but come on....thats too pricey. For the price of the single enclosure box you can buy another 12 inch and a cheaper box and still bump
That box is probably 300 in wood. Don't cheap out on the box, that's where the performance comes from.
@LouisianaGator Gatley craftsmanship is A1.
You don’t get the best without paying the price for admission
I use to think like you but you have to put yourself in his shoes. He's probably getting stacks on stacks on orders. High prices slows it down and reinvest in new and better technology like He's been doing. Your also supporting him by paying that price. Now all that aside he could drop the price at least 20-30% lol
Gately haters are strong, but so are his sales. Must be because he’s set his pricing in just the right place ;)
No bumpin with no box 👊🏼
Don't forget our boy Jake Zimmerman.
I added him to the video description 👌
Is the cxa 1800 good enough for this sub
Yes. It could handle more.
Some good info in this video!!
Nice enclosures👍👍👍👍
Perfect video, I hope I'll be able to snag a 15 inch model
MeToo Christmas 2023 gona be lit with L7X-15
@IntuneBoxDesigns Yes sir, bass heads forever lol
KICKER, bring back the Freeair and save us a lot of money!
😝
dude thats awesome.
i must be getting old, i remember when solo-barics were made for small, sealed boxes...
Yeah... Sadly, there's more bass heads than SQ junkies.
This is the solo-x not the solo-baric
Solo barics need big boxes
I remember the old round solo barics. Those were awesome back in the day. In that era, my brother was running a Kicker XPL 15
Anyone know where I can get this sub and if anyone knows when the 15 will come out
Apparently the 12’s have sold out but will restock within 30 days. 10’s and 15’s later this year
Waiting for in sponsored solo x reviews/comparisons on RUclips. You’d think by now…
A few of us got the subs but it will be a couple of weeks before I have a chance to fully review
Kicker good bass. İ think dd bass good too . Thanks.
I miss the real solo x's had the 18" bad sound but got rowdy for Kicker gear
🤫
Almost 1k for a single 12 sub box!? Shoot me dead if it`s ain`t a rip off.
MBE makes them!
MB enclosures boxes are superior!
soooo y'all need to fuck with mbenclosures... he does have a RUclips and he does get down especially with kicker
The Gatley stuff is furniture.... it's too pretty to go in my trunk.
Nice nice I said it twice.
I understand gately is trying to offer quality across the map but the price tag is NOWHERE near worth it. Sorry not sorry
Gately better be careful or he will get sanctions😂😂😂
Square sub square port equals square soundwaves
Lol 😂
It’s hip to be square
You think it would be cheaper to just build your own boxes but wood got so freaking expensive these days it's ridiculous!!
This is SO true!
Hey
I build subwoofer enclosures out of
GRANITE
The best material is the mdf sheet 1 inch or 1 1/8
Hmm.....Gatly or GP? DECISIONS, DECISIONS??!?!?!?
👍👍
Someone pleaSe install these correctly make a box already
$1500 for a box? No thanks that’s ludicrous
No way I’m paying a grand for a box 😅😅 idgaf how “nice” it is
Get the Atrend box. I have a dual 18" box that's actually good. Just had to add extra glue and 1 more layer of wood but it nice.
Get what you want bro I’m just showing options
Gately, come on buddy, you know your boxes aren't worth your prices pal.
I thought it was. My x8 is great in it's Gately box. I see it as he did the homework. He has the tools. He and his people built it. All I did was throw money. It's beautiful and sound amazing.
Julian come on buddy, you can just say you can’t afford it without bashing pal
@@JeepAndBass Well your kinda right, I do have a few credit cards im paying on, but Gately charging $2k for a "two" 12 inch sub pre fab? Ill make you a deal, buy that box and post it, then Ill will too. We will see who can afford it.
@@JeepAndBass Not sure what that means but ok and good luck.
@@JulianJohnston919 means I have plenty of his boxes to the point I don’t care what anybody says, they are worth the price and can literally withstand an entire vehicle parked on them. You’re buying something more than others even come close to offering by paying his price. Just saying 🤷♂️
Gately overpriced just like SMD products
Wow! Not inexpensive
@@CajunReaper95 solve any other mysteries there Sherlock? 😃 jk 🙂
These prices are apsurd, you can build 2 systems for the price of just 1 box and be happy with it, it's like buying the supreme branded brick
Gately over prices everything, crazy people buy anything from him.
is kicker paying these guys to advertise their subs???? Its spamming every channel lol. Never seen any other sub manufacturer get the attention to a new sub vs what kicker is getting.

lol why?
Of course you're number one would be the number one horrrrr in-car audio Gately audio they put the gay in audio
He'll no I just build mine.
For under 100 bucks
