WIRING

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.

Solo-Baric L7 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.

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.

Use 3/4” (1.9cm) or thicker MDF (medium density fi berboard) and seal the joints with silicone. Use the “template” inside your Solo-Baric’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 S12L7 vented Compact design’s external port 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, and add this number to the internal volume of the enclosure, S12L7’s 1.75 ft3 + .77 ft3 = 2.52 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.

3

9/9/2010 3:15:45 PM

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 L7 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.

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-

The Solo-Baric 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

A

 

 

 

very fl at response curve and superbly extends

 

 

 

 

 

 

the sub-bass response.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Solo-Baric 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. Do not make the airspace greater than the SQ, maximum enclosure volume, recommendation.

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 Solo-Baric L7, try one of these ported designs. You will not be disappointed. Solo-Baric 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.

Nota: Todas las especifi caciones y cifras de rendimiento están sujetas a cambios. Visite www.kicker.com para obtener la información más reciente. Para obtener el mejor rendimiento de su nuevo Subwoofer KICKER, recomendamos usar accesorios y cables genuinos de KICKER. Deje pasar dos semanas para que el subwoofer logre su rendimiento óptimo.

CABLEADO

Los woofers Solo-Baric vienen con dos bobinas de voz de 2 ohmios o dos bobinas de voz de 4 ohmios. Las dos bobinas deben estar conectadas a una fuente de amplifi cación. El woofer doble de 2 ohmios presenta una carga de 1 ohmio si las bobinas están cableadas en paralelo y 4 ohmios si están cableadas en serie. El woofer doble de 4 ohmios presenta una carga de 2 ohmios si las bobinas están cableadas en paralelo y 8 ohmios si están cableadas en serie. Las terminales con marcas rojas y negras sólidas son por el segundo de las bobinas de voz. Las terminales con puntos blancos son para las primeros bobinas de voz. Vea las Figura 1.

Use siempre Plancha de Fibra de Densidad Media (Medium Density Fiberboard, MDF) de por lo menos 3/4 de plg. (1.9 cm) de grosor y asegúrese de que las juntas están bien unidas y bien selladas. El soporte de cartón que viene dentro de la caja de envío del Solo-Baric se puede usar como plantilla para cortar el agujero de montaje del altavoz en la caja que usted construya. Después de marcar el bafl e con la plantilla, corte justo sobre la línea para hacer la abertura de tamaño correcto. Todos estos diseños necesitan cierta medida de refuerzo interno. Agregue escuadras de 5 x 5 cm (2 x 2 plg.) a

8 x 8 cm (3 x 3 plg.) entre cada uno de los paneles grandes sin soporte. Vea la Figura 3.

Todas las cantidades en pies cúbicos (L) dadas en las páginas siguientes incluyen el desplazamiento del woofer. En las cajas con puertos, el desplazamiento del puerto debe agregarse al diseño fi nal. Calcule las dimensiones exteriores del puerto y multiplique “X x Y x Z”, y agregue este número al volumen interno de la caja. Vea la Figura 4. A causa de la longitud necesaria de estos puertos, usted puede doblar el puerto por las paredes del fondo y la espalda. No es práctico usar puertos redondos en estos diseños.
