The Kicker CompVX subwoofers were specially designed for "Livin' Loud" out in the harsh automotive
environment. CompVX subwoofers are extremely versatile and surpass the competition in a sealed or
vented box. They are made of advanced materials and construction techniques to maintain optimal
performance for years to come.

CompVX 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.
SEALED ENCLOSURE APPLICATIONS
The CompVX 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 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 amplifi er power.

The CompVX 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 fl at response curve and superbly extends the subbass response.
CompVX woofers perform well in any size
sealed enclosure between the Compact
and SQ volume recommendations. These
systems will exhibit benefi ts 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 fi lled to 50% loose poly-fi l
(polyester fi berfi ll) stuffi ng. Do not make the
airspace greater than the SQ, maximum
enclosure volume, recommendation.
