lfKICKER Models: Comp Subwoofer Owner's Manual Comp12D4 / Comp15D4 Authorized KICKER Dealer: Purchase Date: Speaker Model Number: Speaker Serial Number: 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) installaton.
SEALED ENCLOSURE APPLICATIONS 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 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 Comp high performance suspension system can operate in a larger sealed enclosure.
VENTED ENCLOSURE APPLICATIONS 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. 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 limitedspace applications.
Figure 3 final design. Use the outer dimensions of the port and multiply "X x Y x Z", convert to cubic feet, for example the Comp12 vented compact 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 I 1728 in3 ) = .65 ft3, and add this number to the internal volume of the enclosure, Comp12's 1. 75 ft3 + .65 ft3 = 2 .4 ft3. See Figure 4.
