SEALED ENCLOSURE APPLICATIONS
The Comp generates more sound pressure than competing subwoofers on the market and excels when used in the recommended sealed boxes. 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 amplifi er power.
The Comp high performance suspension system can operate in a larger sealed enclosure. This maximum enclosure volume application is ideal for SQ (ultra sound quality) installations. The SQ enclosure generates a very fl at response curve and superbly extends the subbass response.

Comp woofers perform well in any size sealed enclosure between the Compact and SQ volume recommendations. These systems will exhibit benefi ts of both designs: Compact produces high-impact bass, and SQ generates low bass frequency protraction. Overall, the system will sound more like the recommended enclosure design it is closest to in enclosure volume. These enclosure recommendations have been calculated with the airspace inside the enclosure and include the displacement of the woofer. All sealed-enclosure airspace should be fi lled to 50% loose poly-fi l (polyester fi berfi ll) stuffi ng.

VENTED ENCLOSURE APPLICATIONS
These boxes are the enclosure of choice for outrageous street bass and high performance SPL contests. If space is not a problem and you want to get the most from your Comp, try one of these ported designs. You will not be disappointed. Comp subwoofers will handle massive amounts of power in any of the recommended enclosures, minimum or maximum. The smaller enclosures are best for use in limitedspace applications. The larger recommended enclosures will yield slightly more bass at the lowest frequencies.

The ported Compact design increases bass effi ciency and fi ts in many space-limited applications. Although it is the smallest recommended ported enclosure, the output from 30 to 80 Hz will be considerably higher than that of any sealed box.
The SPL / Deep Bass ported design has even more output in this crucial frequency band. The SPL / Deep Bass is the largest and most effi cient enclosure design.
INFINITE BAFFLE MOUNTING
The infi nite baffl e mounting method effectively utilizes the rear deck and trunk space of most sedan type vehicles. The Comp subwoofer does not require a sealed enclosure for thumpin’ performance. Carefully install the subwoofer in the baffl e. Mark the rear deck or parcel shelf for the hole cut-out diameter of the subwoofer and cut the hole. The rear deck may need to be reinforced to help hold the weight of the subwoofer and to keep it from fl exing during playback. Mount 3/4” (1.9 cm) thick MDF (Medium Density Fiberboard) to the bottom of the deck. Mark the MDF and cut the holes. If MDF is not available in your area, use high grade plywood. It is important to isolate the sound coming off the front of the subwoofer from the sound radiating from the back of the subwoofer. This isolation is usually accomplished by using the driver in a factory speaker location, or in a location with a semi-isolated rear chamber.
Note: 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.
BOX BUILDING NOTES
Use 3/4” (1.9cm) or thicker MDF (medium density fi berboard) and seal the joints with silicone. Use the “template” inside your Comp’s shipping carton to mark the mounting hole, then cut directly on the line. These designs need internal bracing. Add triangular bracing between each of the larger unsupported panels. See Figure 3.
All the cubic feet (L) measurements in this manual include the displacement of the woofer. For the vented enclosures the displacement of the port must be calculated and added to the internal volume of the

If you prefer an ultra-smooth bass response, you should loosely fi ll your Comp enclosure with poly-fi l stuffi ng. Ported 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-fi l from exiting the port. The use of poly-fi l will slightly decrease effi ciency, 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.

APLICACIONES EN CAJAS SELLADAS
El Comp de Kicker ha sido diseñado para dar más rendimiento que un altavoz equivalente y es asombroso cuando se usa en las cajas selladas recomendadas. Estas recomendaciones de cajas selladas dan la respuesta más suave con la mayor energía a frecuencias realmente bajas; entre 20 y 30 Hz. Estas cajas producen enormes cantidades de bajos de alto impacto y se pueden hacer funcionar a niveles punitivos de potencia de amplifi cador.
El sistema de suspensión de alto rendimiento del Comp puede funcionar en cajas selladas grandes. Esta aplicación de caja de máximo volumen es ideal para instalaciones de ultra Calidad de Sonido (Sound Quality, SQ). La caja SQ genera una curva de respuesta muy plana y una gran extensión de bajos de subwoofer.

Los woofers Comp también tienen buen rendimiento en cualquier caja sellada de un tamaño entre Compact y SQ. Estos sistemas tienen algunos de los benefi cios de los dos diseños: la Compact produce bajos de alto impacto y la SQ genera prolongación de frecuencias bajas. En general, el sistema suena como suena la caja recomendada de tamaño más parecido. Estas recomendaciones de volumen de caja son para los espacios de aire dentro de la caja e incluyen el desplazamiento del woofer. Todas las cajas selladas deben tener 50% de espacio lleno de polifi l no compactado.
