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 subwoofer 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.
Installation Wiring Configuration CompVR-Series subwoofers are made with 2Ω or 4Ω voice coils. Make sure your source unit or amplifier is rated at the correct ohm load for operation. The speaker wire should be kept away from sharp edges and avoid the possibility of getting pinched by the trunk.
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 CompVR-Series high performance suspension system can operate in a larger sealed enclosure.

Vented Enclosures CompVR subwoofers will handle massive amounts of power in any of the recommended enclosures, minimum or maximum. The smaller enclosures are best for use in limited-space applications. The larger recommended enclosures will yield slightly more bass at the lowest frequencies.
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 CompVR subwoofer’s shipping carton to mark the mounting hole, then cut directly on the line. These designs need internal bracing.

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.
