Congratulations! You have just purchased one of the most flexible subwoofers yet
from KICKER. Your Comp sub is designed to give you great bass performance in a wide
variety of applications. These installations instructions will help you get the most out of
your new KICKER sub. Thanks for buying KICKER. Enjoy!
Hemispherical Polymineral Cone with a larger Inverted Structural
Dome™ (ISD) means high rigidity under pressure for accurate linear control, low
enclosure pressure loss to reduce "pump-down", high internal damping, and
excellent sunlight, pollution and moisture resistance.
Double-Stitched Pleated Surround prevents cone/surround separation at
high excursions.
Blackened Extended Pole Piece allows cooler operation for superior power
handling and magnetic field linearity around voice coil gap for enhanced control.
Vented Pole Piece relieves low bass-robbing pressure under the center
dome.
Extended Backplate prevents damaging voice coil "bottoming".
Perimeter Venting for measurably lower operating temperature and freer
cone motion.
Hi-Temp Kapton® Voice Coil Former protects against warped, rubbing
voice coils.
Long-Throw Voice Coil for enormous cone excursion capabilities.
High Power Sleeved Tinsel Leads resist breakage and reduce power rob-
bing resistance losses.

- Page 2 Installation Instructions The Comp subs are designed to be as universal as possible. Great performance can be obtained when using them in sealed or vented boxes as well as on an Infinite Baffle (freeair). Infinite Baffle Mounting The infinite baffle or freeair mounting method is very effective in a sedan type of vehicle.
- Page 3 Sealed box mounting A very smooth bass response with good low bass extension is achieved when the Kicker Comp woofers are mounted in a correctly built sealed box with the correct airspace. Sealed (acoustic suspension) designs have been a favorite here at Kicker since the original Competition Series was introduced.
- Page 4 Vented Box Mounting Almost as easy to build as the sealed box, the vented or ported enclosure can give you more output at certain bass frequencies. Although this design has an output advantage at some frequencies it also has a sharper rolloff characteristic which will only affect the lowest of bass frequencies.
- Page 5 Multiple Woofer Enclosures If you are building enclosures for more than one woofer, they should always be divided to maintain the correct airspace for each woofer. There are a couple of reasons for this. First of all, not all woofers are exactly the same. If there are slight differences between the woofers in a common enclosure, at certain fre- quencies one woofer may think it's in a larger enclosure than intended.
- Page 6 Don't use silicone sealers around the woofer. For more information and additional box plans, see the KICKER Comp Technical Brief on kicker.com or call the Technical Services Line at (405)624-8583.
