Installation Information

The position of your KICKER Impulse BassStation will affect the quality and the amount
of the bass it reproduces. The best results will come from boundary loading the output of
the BassStations into the corners of the vehicle. Both PC & PT speaker systems contain
woofer(s) on the front side of the enclosure and then ports on either end, depending on
model and amplifier location. Directing the ports toward specific locations in the vehicle will
control which portion of the bass gets reinforced. Firing the ports into the corners of the
vehicle will boost the lower frequencies while positioning the ports away from the corners
will increase the output of the upper bass.

Mounting

After determining the mounting position, turn the enclosure upside-down and attach
the four mounting brackets to the bottom of the enclosure using the enclosed small
screws. Each bracket must be positioned so the rounded end protrudes approximately
3/4 inch from under the cabinet to allow a screw to easily pass through it for attachment
to the vehicle.

Position the enclosure in its mounting position and securely attach it to the vehicle with
the enclosed large screws. If the brackets and screws are not applicable to your installation,
some other means must be used to secure the enclosure to your vehicle.

Mounting brackets are included with the PC car speaker enclosures for
secure installations.

Position the PT truck speaker enclosures in a secure location within the cab of
the vehicle.

Controls

The gain control is used to match the output of your KICKER BassStation to the rest of
the system. After mounting and wiring the BassStation, turn the gain control all the way
down. Turn the system on and check the level of the bass in relation to the mids and highs.
If you require more output from the BassStation simply turn the gain control up until the
sound suits your listening preference.
