The KICKER KS-series Substations are versatile high performance enclosures
intended for use as subwoofers in multi-speaker installations. These enclosures
are designed to fit in the rear of a hatchback-type car or the trunk of a
sedan. There are three different tuning options available, depending on your
musical preferences, and with the included Bass Contour Adaptors you have
the option of dynamic vented performance, or maximum low bass extension.

GENERAL INSTALLATION INFORMATION
Since these enclosures are designed with the driver on one end and the port on the
opposite end, different tuning options are available.
In a truck the boundary loading effect is provided by the corners of the cargo area.
In a hatchback or sedan trunk the boundary effect is provided by the corners of the
cargo area (See Diagram 1).
Your musical preference will determine which tuning is best for you.
For Pop, Rock and Universal applications:
The most efficient and versatile application of KS-Series Enclosures is with the Bass
Contour Adaptors out and the ported end of the boxes facing into the corner of
the vehicle.
For Rap, Industrial and hard-hitting music:
The best performance for this type of music is achieved by leaving the Bass Contour
Adaptors out and facing the woofer end of the boxes into the corners of the vehicle.
For Jazz, R&B and Classical music:
The most extended low frequency response is obtained by leaving the Bass Contour
Adaptor in place and mounting the boxes with the ported end facing the corners of
the vehicle.
