The KICKER CompVR woofers are real performers in sealed enclosures, producing the tight, defined, and accurate

bass response you would expect from a KICKER. They will operate in larger sealed enclosures for ultra sound quality

(SQ) applications without significantly sacrificing their power handling. This extra bass extension and smoothness

can be obtained by simply using a larger sealed enclosure. The box can be "sized up" all the way to the maximum

SQ enclosure, which has a very flat response, with greatly extended sub bass. These sealed enclosure SQ recom-

mendations will give the smoothest response with the most energy at really low frequencies, around 20 to 30 Hz.

The recommended Compact sealed boxes are in line with our traditional CompVR enclosures. They deliver mas-

sive amounts of high impact bass. And small size means they can fit just about anywhere.

These versatile subwoofers are equally at home in a small Compact enclosure as they are in the larger SQ enclo-

sures. As the sealed enclosure volume is increased, the response begins to shift from high impact bass to a

smoother and more extended low bass response. Some of the impact is diminished, but the deep bass is actually

enhanced.

reach optimum low bass performance.
