What to Look for in Children's Car Accessories
One of the enduring nightmares of parenthood is the long distance car journey. Visits to family, inter-State vacations, traveling home for the holidays, all can bring even the most composed family to their knees with the endless noise and boredom-induced frolics from the back seat. Parents themselves could probably relate, having no doubt been the source of such high jinks in their own childhood, if it weren't for the fact that they themselves are faced with the rigors of the road ahead, as well as the incessant bedlam from the rear!
Toy manufacturers and inventors alike have pondered the problem for many years, and a number of distractions have come to market, which can usually reduce, if not completely eradicate, the root of all annoyance. Having scoured the market myself, and inadvertently tested myriad gadgets along the way, here are my recommendations for the qualities you'll need in an effective child car accessory:
A Feast for the Senses
Whatever you choose to engage your child with, it should be a focus for the senses; be it visual or aural, a child is usually mesmerized by something that busies their eyes and ears. The more senses you can stimulate, the fewer there are left to cause annoyance. Such has been the success of the in-car DVD player, that many a vehicle has waved goodbye to the wrong kind of noises.
Portability
An obvious requirement for something that need to travel, you might think, but children also need distractions when they get to their destination, and will often switch their allegiance from one toy to the next in the blink of an eye, and so you may need to pack them high! Whatever you choose, keep it small enough to sit in the lap or hang from the chair back.
No Jigsaws
Not to be taken literally, this really refers to any accessory which breaks up into many pieces. Pieces get lost under seats, between seats, and more seriously, in any orifice your child deems fit to house them!
Non-marking
Junior would love to get the opportunity to draw all manner of pictures and scrawls all over your lovely upholstery, but such an event would cause more frustration in the front seats than the noise you were intending to turn the volume down on. Replace a felt pen with an etch-a-sketch, for example.
In summary, those long journeys need not be a chore. Your children need distractions as much as we do, but our concentration on the road needs to be paramount, for the safety of all inside. By thinking through your children's car accessory choices, you'll enhance your vacation experience for everyone.

Kicker S12L7, S8L7, S10L7, S15L7 Subwoofer Review 2006-2008 Model - High Performance, Quality, Power
Kicker's ingenuity is the reason why they're one of the top contenders for the best car audio components. The result of that ingenuity is the production of Kicker's L7 Series Solo-Baric subwoofers. We will review in this article particularly the S12L74; a 12" dual 4 ohm L7 subwoofer.
Pros
Power handling, that is all I have to say. But really, this mighty subwoofer could handle monstrous 1500 watts max with 750 watts RMS. Unlike other cheaper companies, when Kicker say they feature a 750 watts RMS, they really do mean 750 watts RMS. This means you can put out consistently loud (if supplied with proper power) bass on any given day and is capable of peaking at 1500 watts.
The cone is surprisingly not made of any unusual material but uses injection molded polypropylene. However, it is a one piece construction in a patented design Kicker dubbed as "SoloKon". And of course with Solo-Baric construction, it is a square design, allowing for more surface area and more bass production. To top it all off, the surround is Santoprene rubber that is stitched to the cone, providing a highly durable construction that will sure to prevent tearing during high power usage.
Cons
The subwoofer is pricey but you get what you pay for and this subwoofer will definitely impress you with its quality and SPL. With all these great punching features, the subwoofer does have one more drawback other than the price, and that is its break-in period.
The design requires the consumer to use the subwoofer at low levels for at least 20 hours or about two weeks. This will allow for the suspension structure to move around a bit before it is pushed to its optimum capability. It's a lot like how stiff baseball gloves are when you buy them brand new from the store, and they require a bit of breaking in and wear before it could be at all usable on the field. Unfortunately users will run a huge risk of blowing out the speakers if they do not properly follow Kicker's recommendation.
Newer Model Changes Notes
The 2008 and newer models will feature a modified SoloKon design with full back bracing to allow more efficient air movement, giving the new L7 subs the ability to punch much more powerful bass. Unlike the 2006 model, the new 2008 models have perimeter venting. It looks a lot like a hand holding a square bowl; where as the older models have virtually no openings for venting. As a result, there is no need for extra mounting space for venting-giving you the same powerful subwoofer with a much shallower mounting depth. The cone design has changed a bit as well, giving the 2008 models a fresh but stylish new look; and don't worry about power handling because power ratings are rated at the same as the older models. Binding posts have also been repositioned to the corners of the subs. This will allow for a more convenient installation for multiple-subwoofer setups.
Note: This review covers S8L72, S8L74, S10L72, S10L74, S12L72, S12L74, S15L72, S15L74. 2 or 4 at the end of every model refers to dual 2 ohms or dual 4 ohms. Features are generally the same except for power handling and SPL.
