The L7S square subwoofer has no built-in lighting of its own. Kicker's matching 10" and 12" grilles solve that separately, with multi-color LED accent lighting built into the cover itself rather than the driver. The 10" runs $64.99; the 12" runs $74.99.
Both are purpose-built for the L7S line specifically, the 10" for the 44L7S10/11S10L7 models, the 12" for the 44L7S12/11S12L7 models, not a universal fit for other square subwoofers.
Key Takeaways
- LED lighting lives in the grille, not the subwoofer — a different approach than speakers where the driver itself contains the LED elements.
- Sized specifically for the L7S line's 10" and 12" models, not a universal square-subwoofer grille.
- Multi-color, changeable to match a theme or mood, per Kicker's own description.
- Both function as protective covers for the driver in addition to the lighting element.
- Priced $10 apart between sizes ($64.99 vs. $74.99), a modest gap for the larger cover.
Lighting in the Grille, Not the Driver
Kicker's LED-equipped marine speakers and subwoofers, like the 45KM84L or the 51MWE122, build the lighting directly into the driver assembly. These grilles take a different approach: the L7S subwoofer stays exactly as it ships, no LED at all, and the grille adds lighting as a separate layer on top. That means if a grille's LED element ever fails, replacing it doesn't require touching the subwoofer itself.

Feature Walkthrough
Fitment
The 10" grille is built for the 44L7S10/11S10L7 models specifically; the 12" for the 44L7S12/11S12L7 models. Confirm your exact L7S model number against the grille's stated compatibility before ordering.
Color Control
Multi-color LED accent lighting is described as changeable to fit your mood or theme; the listings don't specify whether a separate controller is required for full color range the way the KLSR speaker rings do, so confirm current control options directly if that matters to your install.
Dual Function
Beyond lighting, both grilles serve as the physical protective cover for the driver, replacing a plain factory grille rather than adding lighting on top of one.
Who It's For
Choose the matching L7S grille if you want lighting on a subwoofer that doesn't include it natively, and you already own (or are buying) the corresponding L7S size. It's not a universal accessory for other square subwoofers outside this specific model line.
Honest Cons
Fits the L7S line only, not other square subwoofers by size alone. Confirm your exact model number.
Control method for full color range isn't clearly stated on either listing, unlike the KLSR speaker rings, which explicitly reference the 41KMLC remote for extended color modes.
No numbered IP rating published on either grille.
Frequently Asked Questions
Does the L7S subwoofer need this grille to have any lighting?
Yes — the subwoofer itself has no LED. All lighting comes from the grille.
Will the 12" grille fit an L7S 10"?
No — each size is built for its corresponding L7S model specifically. Match the grille size to your exact subwoofer.
Do I need a separate remote to change colors?
Neither listing confirms a required controller; check current documentation directly before assuming compatibility with the 41KMLC or 51MSLC controllers.
Does the grille replace the stock cover entirely?
Yes — it functions as the subwoofer's protective grille in addition to providing lighting, not an add-on layered over an existing cover.
Bottom Line
These grilles are the only way to add lighting to an L7S subwoofer, since the driver itself doesn't include any. Match the size to your exact model, and confirm color-control requirements before assuming full compatibility with Kicker's other LED accessories.
