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.
If
you prefer
an
ultra-smooth bass response, you should loosely
fill
your CompVX
enclosure with poly-fil
stuffing. 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-fil from exiting the port. The use of poly-fil will slightly
decrease efficiency, 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
specifications and performance figures are subject to change.

To
get the best performance from your new
.KICKER
Subwoofer, we recommend using genuine

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.
