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 CompVX enclosure with poly-fi l
stuffi ng. Vented 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.
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.
If mounting in trunk space or 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 fasteners and other items that could harm the cables.
