The Kicker Comp subwoofers were specially designed for "Livin' Loud" out in the harsh automotive environment. Comp subwoofers are extremely versatile, excel in a sealed or vented box, and surpass the competition on an infinite baffle (free-air) installation. They are made of advanced materials and construction techniques to maintain optimal performance for years to come.

InfiniteBaffleMounting
The infinite baffle mounting method effectively utilizes the rear deck and trunk space of most sedan type vehicles. The Comp subwoofer does not require a sealed enclosure for thump in performance. Carefully install the subwoofer in the baffle. Mark the rear deck or parcel shelf for the hole cut-out diameter of the subwoofer and cut the hole. The rear deck may need to be reinforced to help hold the weight of the subwoofer and to keep it from flexing during playback. Mount 3/4" (1.9 cm) thick MDF (Medium Density Fiberboard) to the bottom of the deck. Mark the MDF and cut the holes. If MDF is not available in your area, use high grade plywood. It is important to isolate the sound coming off the front of the subwoofer from the sound radiating from the back of the subwoofer. This isolation is usually accomplished by using the driver in a factory speaker location, or in a location with a semi-isolated rear chamber. See Figure 1.
Note: All specifications and performance figures are subject to change. Measurements based on 4 ohm voice coil models. Please visit the www.kicker.com for the most current information.
SealedEnclosureApplications
The Comp 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 smootherest 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 amplifier power.
The Comp 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 flat response curve and superbly extends the subbass response.
Comp woofers perform well in any size sealed enclosure between the Compact and SQ volume recommendations. These systems will exhibit benefits 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 filled to 50% loose poly-fil (polyester fiberfil) stuffing.

Carefully mount loudspeakers in the trunk space or in other compartments of the vehicle. Pay attention to cable lines, trunk springs, hinges and seat mechanisms that could cause problems with the operation of the vehicle or stereo system. Carefully lay the stereo system cables; pay attention to seat listeners and other items that could harm the cables.

Ported Comps? Absolutely...and with a vengeance! These enclosures incorporate massive slot-loaded (rectangular) ports with ultra low air velocity for ground pounding street bass that will make your "skin bounce on your bones!"
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 Comp, try one of these ported designs. You will not be disappointed.
The ported Compact design increases bass efficiency and fits 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 efficient enclosure design. The SPL / Deep Bass delivers the sonic output needed to win SPL contests and it produces bass notes "all the way down to the cella". This design turns heads and jump starts your heart.

BoxBuildingNotes
Use 3/4" (1.9cm) or thicker MDF (medium density fiberboard) and seal the joints with silicone. Use the "template" inside your Comp'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 final design. Use the outer dimensions of the port and multiply "X x Y x Z", convert to cubic feet, for example the C12 vented compact design's external port dimensions are, using 3/4" (1.9cm) MDF: [(12.5" + 1.5" total MDF wall thickness) x (2" + 1.5" total MDF wall thickness) x 16"] x (1 ft³ / 1728 in³) = .45 ft³, and add this number to the internal volume of the enclosure, C12's 1.75 ft³ + .45 ft³ = 2.20 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 airflow.
If you prefer an ultra-smooth bass response, you should loosely fill your Comp enclosure with poly-fil stuffing. 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-fil from exiting the port. The use of poly-fil will slightly decrease efficiency, but will deepen and extend the low frequency output.

Pro Tip: You are one ZX Mono-Amplifier and a few cables away from a slamm'in system! The Kicker ZX line of mono-amplifiers make it easy to upgrade to rock-solid bass with your existing or stock source unit. Please ask your dealer about the Kicker ZX Amplifier upgrades.

The dimensions for X, Y, and Z may vary based on the thickness of the material used to make the port.
A Note on PowerHandlingCapacity
Comp 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 infinite baffle (free-air) mounting method will handle moderate amounts of power and take up less trunk or passenger space.

International Warranty
Contact your International Kicker dealer or distributor concerning specific procedures for your country's warranty policies.
WARNING: KICKER products are capable of producing sound levels that can permanently damage your hearing! Turning up a system to a level that has audio 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.
