Solo-baric L5 Enclosures
Installation
Vented Enclosures
VS Series vented enclosures combine KICKER’s award
winning Solo-Baric subwoofers with computer-modeled and
human fine-tuned enclosures to offer a level of bass performance
never before thought possible from a commercially available,
ready-to-install subwoofer system. The VS Series enclosures are
available with a pre-loaded 10 or 12 inch Solo-Baric L5.
To get all the amazing performance potential from your new
enclosure, you need to follow some basic rules. Please read
these instructions carefully. Then, you will be ready to install the
subwoofer enclosure and be on the road and “Livin’ Loud™”.
The location and orientation of your VS enclosure will affect
the quality and quantity of the bass. Designed for use in SUVs
and sedan type vehicles, the VS enclosure offers you several
mounting options.
The vent opening in these enclosures can not be obstructed.
At some frequencies most of the bass will come out of the vent.
Therefore we recommend you leave at least four inches (10 cm)
of clear space around the vent.
If the enclosure is to be mounted all the way in the back of the
vehicle, it works best to point the woofer toward the front of the
vehicle. Conversely, if the enclosure is going to be mounted
closer to the back seat, pointing the woofer toward the rear of the
vehicle will give you the best results. These guidelines pertain to
enclosures mounted in the vehicle as outlined in Figure A.

When it is more convenient to mount the enclosure along a
side wall, put the enclosure on the right side of the vehicle as
outlined in Figure B. This orientation will make the vent point
toward the rear of the vehicle and will produce the most low bass
output. Remember to leave at least four inches (10 cm) of room
between the enclosure and the back of the vehicle.
