Page 3: Overview
VENTILATION. SUBWOOFERS SHOULD BE MOUNTED WITH AT LEAST 1 INCH (2.5CM) CLEARANCE BETWEEN THE FRONT OF THE SPEAKER AND ANY SURFACE. KICKER PRODUCTS ARE CAPABLE OF PRODUCING SOUND LEVELS THAT CAN PERMANENTLY DAMAGE YOUR HEARING! TURNING UP A SYSTEM TO A LEVEL THAT HAS AUDIBLE DISTORTION IS MORE DAMAGING TO YOUR EARS THAN LISTENING TO AN UNDISTORTED SYSTEM AT THE SAME VOLUME LEVEL. -

Please allow two weeks of break-in time for the speakers to reach optimum performance. Pro Tip: You’re a KICKER amplifier and a few cables away from a full system upgrade that will dominate any factory system! KICKER line of amplifiers make it easy to upgrade to solid bass with your existing or stock source unit. -
Page 5: Installation
Installation Wiring Configuration GOLD-Series subwoofers are made with dual 4Ω voice coils. Both coils must be connected to a source of amplification. They will provide a 2Ω load wired in parallel or 8Ω load wired in series. Make sure your source unit or amplifier is rated at the correct ohm load for operation. - Page 6 Series Wiring Dual 4Ω Voice Coils = 8Ω Load Parallel Wiring Dual 4Ω Voice Coils = 2Ω Load English...

Page 7: Box Building Notes
Box Building Notes Use 3/4” (1.9cm) or thicker MDF (medium density fiberboard) and seal the joints with silicone. Use the “template” inside your GOLD subwoofer’s shipping carton to mark the mounting hole, then cut directly on the line. These designs need internal bracing. Add triangular bracing between each of the larger unsupported panels. - Page 8 Do not install a port opening against a solid surface, such as an internal brace, back- panel or trunk wall, seat or interior panel of your vehicle. The port opening must remain unobstructed. Use the smallest dimension of the rectangular port as the minimum amount of space between the port opening and any solid surface to insure unrestricted airflow.

Page 10: Sealed Enclosures
Sealed Enclosures These sealed enclosure designs give the smoothest response with increased energy at the lowest frequencies, 20 to 30Hz. These designs deliver massive amounts of highly-accurate bass and can be driven with punishing levels of amplifier power. The GOLD-Series high performance suspension system can operate in a larger sealed enclosure. - Page 11 Panel Dimensions for Minimum Sealed Enclosures using 3/4” (1.9cm) thick MDF: GOLD10 GOLD12 GOLD15 Volume ft3 [L] .8 [22.7] 1 [28.3] 1.8 [51] Panel A in.
