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.

WIRING

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.
