Note: All specifi cations and performance fi gures are subject to change. Please visit www.kicker.com for the most current information. To get the best performance from your new KICKER Subwoofer, we recommend using genuine KICKER Accessories and Wiring. Please allow two weeks of break-in time for the subwoofer to reach optimum performance.

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.

SEALED ENCLOSURE APPLICATIONS

These sealed enclosure designs give the smoothest response with increased energy at the lowest frequencies, 20Hz–30Hz. These designs deliver massive amounts of highly-accurate bass and can be driven with punishing levels of amplifi er power. The high performance suspension system can operate in a larger sealed enclosure. This maximum enclosure volume application is ideal for ultra sound quality installations. The maximum enclosure generates a very fl at response curve and superbly extends the sub-bass response.

CompQ woofers perform well in any size sealed enclosure between the minimum and maximum volume recommendations. These systems will exhibit benefi ts of both designs: Minimum produces high-impact bass, and maximum 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. Do not make the airspace greater than the maximum enclosure volume recommendation.

VENTED ENCLOSURE APPLICATIONS

These boxes are the enclosure of choice for outrageous bass, so if space is not a problem and you want to get the most from your CompQ, try one of these vented designs. CompQ subwoofers will handle massive amounts of power in any of the recommended enclosures, minimum or maximum. The smaller enclosures are best for use in limited-space applications. The larger recommended enclosures will yield slightly more bass at the lowest frequencies.

The vented minimum design increases bass effi ciency and fi ts in many space-limited applications. Although it is the smallest recommended vented enclosure, the output from 30Hz–80Hz will be considerably higher than that of a sealed box. The maximum vented design has even more output in this frequency band. The maximum vented enclosure is the largest and most effi cient design.

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 CompQ’s shipping carton to mark the mounting hole, then cut directly on the line. See Figure 1.

These designs need internal bracing. Add triangular bracing between each of the larger unsupported panels. See Figure 2.

CWQ12, CWQ15: D = 3” x 3” CWQ10: D = 2” x 2”

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 fi nal design. Use the outer dimensions of the vent and multiply “X x Y x Z”, and convert to cubic feet, for example the CWQ12 Vented Minimum design’s external vent dimensions are, using 3/4” (1.9cm) MDF:

[ (13.25” + 1.5” total MDF wall thickness) x (2.5” + 1.5” total MDF wall thickness) x 22.5”] x (1 ft3 / 1728 in3 ) = .77 ft3

Add this number to the internal volume of the enclosure. The CWQ12 is:

1.75 ft3 + .77 ft3 = 2.52 ft3.

Due to the necessary length of these vents, you may want to fold the vent along the bottom and back walls. It will be impractical to use round vents for these designs. Do not install a vent opening against a solid surface, such as an internal brace, back-panel or trunk wall, seat or interior panel of your vehicle. The vent opening must remain

unobstructed. Use the smallest dimension of the rectangular vent as the minimum amount of space between the vent opening and any solid surface to insure unrestricted airfl ow.

If you prefer an ultra-smooth bass response, you should loosely fi ll your CompQ enclosure with poly-fi l stuffi ng. 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-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.

For more advice on box building, refer to your Authorized Kicker Dealer, or click on the Support tab on the Kicker homepage, www.kicker.com. Please e-mail support@kicker.com or call Technical Support at (405) 624-8583 for specifi c or unanswered questions.

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.

APLICACIONES PARA GABINETE CON SELLADO

Estos diseños de gabinetes sellados proporcionan la respuesta más suave con energía aumentada a las frecuencias más bajas, de 20 a 30Hz. Estos diseños transmiten una cantidad masiva de bajos de alta precisión, y se pueden lograr con altísimos niveles de potencia del amplifi cador. El sistema de suspensión de alto rendimiento puede funcionar en un gabinete sellado más grande. La aplicación máxima de volumen del gabinete es ideal para las instalaciones de calidad ultrasonido. El gabinete máximo genera una curva de respuesta más plana y amplifi ca la respuesta de subgraves de forma estupenda.

Los altavoces subwoofer CompQ se desempeñan bien en cualquier gabinete sellado entre las recomendaciones de volumen mínimo y máximo. Estos sistemas exhibirán benefi cios de ambos diseños: el mínimo produce bajos de alto impacto, y el máximo genera prolongación de frecuencia de graves bajos. En general, el sistema sonará más como el diseño de gabinete recomendado que se asemeje más en relación al volumen de gabinete. Estas recomendaciones de gabinetes han sido calculadas

con el espacio disponible dentro del gabinete e incluyen el desplazamiento del altavoz de baja frecuencia. Todo el espacio del gabinete sellado debe incluir un 50% de relleno de polifi l leve (fi bra de relleno de poliéster). No permita que el espacio sea mayor que la recomendación de volumen máximo de gabinete.
