The Kicker S10L52 is a 450 watt RMS, 900 Watt peak power subwoofer. The sub itself is meant for general everyday purposes, rather than hard pounding bass. If you are looking to use this speaker for competition or to rattle the nerves of your neighbors, you’ll have only minimal results. You will still keep up your neighborhood at peak, but it definitely isn’t going to be enough to shake their house at the same time. The basic premise of this particular type of speaker is purely sound quality and clarity. This is a great speaker if you are just looking to enhance your overall sound quality while at the same time giving you the big bass lift to crank up the volume from time to time. I personally love this speaker as it gives great crystal clear clarity without purely pounding hard for the sake of pounding hard. Durability If you use these speakers the way that they were meant to be used they will last you for years. The major reason why many people even have issues with these speakers blowing is purely because they are trying to do far more with them than they were intended. Like I said before if you are looking to blast your speakers all of the time, try upgrading to a more powerful subwoofer, otherwise you are going to find yourself blowing through money as you blow through one after another. However, as a regular everyday speaker, they seem to last forever. Appearance One of the best things about the speaker is the appearance of it. Kicker has always created some of the most appealing speakers on the market. The square shape of the speaker is already unique enough that it still to this day draws second looks. The black surround of the speaker with the aluminum center really makes the speaker stand out and look aggressive. Most importantly everyone can see the Kicker stamp and name on the subwoofer so everyone knows that you aren’t messing with anything but the absolute best in the industry. Setup The S10L52 is relatively versatile, however, I would personally recommend an Alpine PDX-1.600 amplifier. While you could easily go with another Kicker, such as the 400.1, I personally have had the best luck utilizing the power and reliability of Alpine amplifiers. With the PDX-1.600 amp you will have a solid Class D mono amplifier. As for the box, you are going to need a kicker style box. Typically I would use some type of a vented box. Use the specifications for airflow that I have included below, create a box with a square opening.
