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.
If
you prefer
an
ultra-smooth bass response, you should loosely
fill
your CompVR enclosure with poly-fil
stuffing. Vented designs will require covering the end of the port (located inside the box) with grill cloth,
chicken wire, or expanded metal to prevent the poly-fil from exiting the port. The use of poly-fil will slightly
decrease efficiency, but will deepen and extend the low frequency output.

Sound Check: Poor bass response?
Check
the system phasing by reversing the positive and negative
speaker connections on the subwoofer.
If
the bass improves, then the subwoofer was out of phase
in
reference to the rest of the audio system.

If
mounting
in
trunk space or other compartments of the vehicle, pay attention to cable lines, trunk
springs, hinges and seat mechanisms that could cause problems with the operation of the vehicle or
stereo system. Carefully lay the stereo system cables; pay attention to seat fasteners and other items that
could harm the cables.
WARNING:
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.
The threshold of pain
is
always
an
indicator that the sound
level
is
too loud and may permanently damage your hearing. Please use common sense when controlling
volume.
