Overview
IMPORTANT SAFETY WARNING
PROLONGED CONTINUOUS OPERATION OF AN AMPLIFIER, SPEAKER, OR
SUBWOOFER IN A DISTORTED, CLIPPED OR OVER-POWERED MANNER
CAN CAUSE YOUR AUDIO SYSTEM TO OVERHEAT, POSSIBLY CATCHING
FIRE AND RESULTING IN SERIOUS DAMAGE TO YOUR COMPONENTS
AND/OR VEHICLE. AMPLIFIERS REQUIRE UP TO 4 INCHES (10CM) OPEN
VENTILATION. SUBWOOFERS SHOULD BE MOUNTED WITH AT LEAST 1
INCH (2.5CM) CLEARANCE BETWEEN THE FRONT OF THE SPEAKER AND
ANY SURFACE. 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.
The CVX Subs are a case study in what
makes KICKER subwoofers the absolute
best in the business. They feature the
highest-power handling possible and with
dual-voice coils give you all the wiring
options you could want. The aluminum
basket reduces weight while achieving
higher heat dissipation than steel. Perimeter-
venting is present as usual, but KICKER-
quality means we need our products to
go above and beyond. KICKER has now
introduced our latest innovation of Forced-
Air Cooling, which uses the excursion of
the woofer to force out hot air while drawing
in cool air. This results in a 20% reduction
in heat, increasing the already industry-
leading reliability of our subs. Get ready for
signature KICKER bass, and make sure
you’re using these subwoofers with KICKER
accessories and amps to get the best
results.

Specifications
Note: All specifications and performance
figures are subject to change. Please visit
www.kicker.com for the most current
information. To get the best performance
from your new KICKER speakers, we
recommend using genuine KICKER
accessories and wiring. Please allow two
weeks of break-in time for the speakers to
reach optimum performance.
Pro Tip: You’re a KICKER amplifier and a
few cables away from a full system upgrade
that will dominate any factory system!
KICKER line of amplifiers make it easy to
upgrade to solid bass with your existing
or stock source unit. Also, ask your dealer
about KICKER Speaker upgrades.

Wiring Configuration
CompVX-Series subwoofers are made with
dual 2Ω or 4Ω voice coils. Both coils must
be connected to a source of amplification.
The Dual 2Ω will provide a 1Ω load wired in
parallel or 4Ω load wired in series. The Dual
4Ω will provide a 2Ω load wired in parallel or
8Ω load wired in series. Make sure your
source unit or amplifier is rated at the
correct ohm load for operation.
The speaker wire should be kept away
from sharp edges and avoid the possibility
of getting pinched by the trunk. If a factory
hole and grommet do not exist or are
inaccessible, you must drill a hole through
which to run the wire. Be careful not to drill
into other wiring or existing mechanisms.
Any time a wire is run through a hole, it
is necessary to insert a rubber or plastic
grommet to protect the wire from damage.

Box Building Notes
Use 3/4” (1.9cm) or thicker MDF (medium
density fiberboard) and seal the joints with
silicone. Use the “template” inside your
CompVX subwoofer’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.
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 CompVX12
Vented Minimum design’s external port
dimensions are, using 3/4” (1.9cm) MDF:
(12.5” + 1.5” total MDF wall thickness) x
(2.5” + 1.5” total MDF wall thickness) x
(20”) x (1 ft3/ 1728 in3) = .65 ft3
Then, add this number to the internal
volume of the enclosure. 1.75 ft3+ .65 ft3=
2.4 ft3
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.
You can loosely fill your 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 by
making your subwoofer think it’s in a bigger
box.

Sealed Enclosures
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-accurate bass and can be driven with
punishing levels of amplifier power.
The CompVX-Series 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 Maximum
enclosure generates a very flat response
curve and extends the sub-bass response.
