KICKER Releases Under-Seat Loaded Enclosures with Factory Fit for Ford, GMC and Chevy Trucks – RAM to Follow

STILLWATER, OK (02.27.24) – Created to match every curve and contour of today’s most popular trucks, KICKER announces three under-seat, loaded subwoofer enclosures featuring dual Solo-Baric L7T square subwoofers, with a rated power handling of up to 1,200 total watts (RMS). Dual L7T-Loaded Truck-Specific Enclosures will be available for purchase at Authorized KICKER Dealers in-store and online. Soon to be introduced to the world on the KICKER UnMASKED! Live™ streamed show, Truck-Specific Loaded Enclosures will retail starting at $799.99 and will also be available for purchase online at www.kicker.com.

Each version of enclosure has been verified to fit each truck model perfectly and look every bit as good as it sounds. Both the KFDL7T (for many models of Ford) and KGMDL7T (for many models of Chevy and GMC) are down-firing enclosures loaded with 10-inch and 12-inch subwoofers, respectively. Shipping later this quarter, the up-firing KRDL7T is made specifically for various RAM truck models and includes pre-installed grilles to further protect its 10-inch L7T subwoofers. Consumers can check kicker.com for fitment in specific truck models.

Covered in thick black carpeting and sporting a custom KICKER logo, these enclosures are pre-wired to a single two-Ohm terminal for easiest installation. Thick MDF construction and extensive internal bracing keep the enclosures stable.

The L7T subwoofer’s extended top plate includes a KICKER-patented “bumped” design, allowing extra excursion and longer throw for deeper overall bass from its extremely thin design. The L7T’s unique square cone provides up to 20 percent additional cone area compared to a standard round sub of the same size, making a 12-inch square sub perform like a 13-inch subwoofer. The listener enjoys more volume and deeper bass.

SSR hosted the first SSR University session on Wednesday, January 31st. “We had a great turnout with over 40 seated in the area that was setup in the warehouse. I conducted the sales training session. Douglas Romero and I conducted the tech session with the AutoTech alternators that were recently added to our stocking lineup. Attendees were engaged and the feedback was terrific. All were smiling with their framed certificated in the group photo after the session” Galanos offered.

After the SSRU session ended attendees are all smiles as they hold their framed certificate to hang on the wall at their store.

The free monthly sessions in the Houston area for dealers and their respective staff are designed to help set them on a success-path with a steeper incline for success. The SSR University sessions will a begin in Dallas in March to assist serving dealers in the Dallas market.
