Default kicker square sub

ok, i did a little more looking and i found within this newsgroup the
opinion that being square is mostly a marketing ploy.

Yes, the subject of Kicker's Square woofers has come up from time to time
(along with Bazooka's triangle subs) and indeed, the consensus is that it
has more to do with marketing than anything else.

The ONLY exception to this being if you were going to design a solid wall of
woofers (like for an SPL vehicle). Obviously with a square woofer, you
would be able to squeeze them together more effectively (more total cone
area over a given area) than round woofers. But that's the ONLY benefit I
see.

That being said, I do think the Kicker L7's are damn good subwoofers, square
or not.
