Kicker CompVT 65 subwoofers were specially designed for "Livin' Loud" in the harsh automotive
environment. CompVT subwoofers are versatile and surpass the competition in a sealed box, but can also
be mounted in free air applications and factory cutout locations. The small diameter of the CompVT 65
subwoofers make them ideal for custom installations and space-limited applications. They are made of
advanced materials and construction techniques to maintain optimal performance for years to come.

MOUNTING
If you are replacing factory speakers in their original locations, you may have to enlarge the speaker
cut-outs and pre-drill new screw holes using a 7/64" (2.5mm) bit. Custom mounting locations will require
more preparation and work. In either case, make sure the speaker will not interfere with the trunk and
door opening and closing mechanisms, and the screws will not puncture the fuel tank, wiring, or interfere
with any other mechanical parts on the underside of the mounting surface. Cycle the windows all the way
down and up.
If the speaker cut-out locations require you to cut metal, avoid structural metal and braces. If the door
body and panel cannot support the weight of the speaker, an optional reinforcing ring (thin piece of wood
or Medium Density Fiberboard) may be sandwiched between the panels. Mount the speaker to the
vehicle as outlined in Figures 2/3.
It may be necessary to run wire through the door jamb. The speaker wire should be kept away from sharp
edges and avoid the possibility of getting pinched by the door. An existing grommet in the door jamb is
the ideal place to run the speaker wire. If the factory hole and grommet do not exist or are inaccessible,
you must drill a hole to run the speaker wire through the door jamb. Be careful not to drill into other wiring
or exiting door 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 as outlined
below.
We recommend using genuine
Kicker accessories and wiring to
get the best performance from
your CompVT 65 subwoofer.
