2010 CompVR f01.indd 2-3
CompVR subwoofers are available with dual 2 (ohm) or dual 4 voice coils. Both coils must be connected to a source of amplifi cation. The dual 2 woofer will generate a 1 load if the coils are wired in parallel or a 4 load in series. The dual 4 woofer will provide a 2 load wired in parallel or 8 load wired in series. The terminals with the white dots are for the fi rst voice coil. The terminals with solid-red and solid-black markings are for the second voice coil. See Figure 1.
SEALED ENCLOSURE APPLICATIONS
The CompVR 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 CompVR 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.

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 CompVR, try one of these ported designs. You will not be disappointed. CompVR 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 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.
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 CompVR’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 fi nal design. Use the outer dimensions of the port and multiply “X x Y x Z”, convert to cubic feet, for example the CompVR12 vented Compact design’s external port dimensions are, using 3/4” (1.9cm) MDF: [ (12.5” + 1.5” total MDF wall thickness) x (2.5” + 1.5” total MDF wall thickness) x 20”] x (1 ft3 / 1728 in3 ) = .65 ft3, and add this number to the internal volume of the enclosure, CompVR12’s 1.75 ft3 + .65 ft3 = 2.4 ft3. See Figure 4. Due to the necessary length of these ports, you may want to fold the port along the bottom and back walls. It will be impractical to use round ports for these designs.
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 airfl ow.
If you prefer an ultra-smooth bass response, you should loosely fi ll your CompVR 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.

CABLEADO
Los subwoofers CompVR están disponibles con dos bobinas de voz de 2 ó 4 (ohmios). Ambas bobinas deben conectarse a una fuente de amplifi cación. El woofer doble de 2 presenta una carga de 1 si las bobinas están cableadas en paralelo (asegúrese de que su amplifi cador sea estable para 1 ), o de 4 si están cableadas en serie. El woofer doble de 4 presenta una carga de 2 cuando se lo cablea en paralelo, o de 8 cuando se lo cablea en serie. Los terminales con puntos blancos corresponden a la primera bobina de voz. Los terminales con marcas en rojo y negro corresponden a la segunda bobina de
voz. Vea las Figura 1.

El CompVR 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 CompVR 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.

A
Los woofers CompVR 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. No haga que el espacio de aire sea más grande de lo recomendado.
