ꢀ Sleeved High-Power Tinsel Lead Wires eliminate
broken leads and power loss, due to the common use of
“insufficient-gauge” lead wires.
ꢀ Vacuum Formed Polymineral Cone with ISD™
(Inverted Structural Dome) is a high performance
composite, which remains rigid, minimizes cone flex and lowers
harmonic distortion. The Comp’s cone consists of a unique
one-piece material that moves as a light weight piston,
exhibiting power and control.

ꢀ Rear Cone Brace integrates into the Comp’s cone with a
continuous contact perimeter weld, which offers unmatched
strength and resistance to deformation under pressure.
1. Optimizes heat transfer efficiency for cooler operation
and maximum power handling ability.
ꢀ Double Stitched Surround adds a mechanical fastener to
the chemical adhesives. This duo prevents the cone and
surround from separating in the harshest conditions.
2. Eliminates erratic magnetic flux from the voice-coil gap.
3. Releases pressure under the suspension for uniform
cone movement and responsive low bass.
ꢀ Optimized Polyfoam Ribbed Surround Radius allows
extended cone excursion for additional bass output and higher
SPL, and couples the suspension into a conjoined
linear-motion body.
4. Prevents the voice-coil from bottoming out and
corresponding damage.

ꢀ Ultra-Length Voice Coil sustains enormous cone excursion
and provides extra heat dissipation.
ꢀ Perimeter Venting in the BAM relieves pressure from
under the spider, supports a linear excursion, and helps

Comp Subwoofer Enclosures
When it is more convenient to mount the enclosure along a
side wall, put the enclosure on the right side of the vehicle as
outlined in Figure B. This orientation will make the vent point
toward the rear of the vehicle and will produce the most low bass
output. Remember to leave at least four inches of room between
the enclosure and the back of the vehicle.
Vented Enclosures
DC Series vented enclosures combine KICKER’s award
winning Comp subwoofers with computer-modeled and human
fine-tuned enclosures to offer a level of bass performance never
before thought possible from a commercially available, ready-to-
install subwoofer system. The DC Series enclosures are
available with pre-loaded 10 or 12 inch Comp subwoofers.
After determining the best mounting position, carefully check
the areas where the mounting brackets will be placed. Make sure
the mounting screws will not puncture the gas tank, brake lines,
wiring, or interfere with any mechanical parts on the underside of
the mounting surface. Turn the enclosure upside-down, pre-drill
the holes using a 7/64” (2.5 mm) bit and attach the four mounting
brackets to the bottom of the enclosure using the supplied
smaller screws. Each bracket must be positioned so the rounded
end protrudes approximately 3/4" (2 cm) from under the cabinet
to allow a screw to easily pass through the bracket, securing the
enclosure to the vehicle.
To get all the amazing performance potential from your new
enclosure, you need to follow some basic rules. Please read
these instructions carefully. Then, you will be ready to install the
subwoofer enclosure and be on the road and “Livin’ Loud™”.
The location and orientation of your DC enclosure will affect
the quality and quantity of the bass. Designed for use in SUVs
and sedan type vehicles, the DC enclosure offers you several
mounting options.
The vent opening in these enclosures can not be obstructed.
At some frequencies most of the bass will come out of the vent.
Therefore we recommend you leave at least four inches (10 cm)
of clear space around the vent.
Plug your subwoofer speaker wire into the terminals, using the
red connector as positive and the black connector as negative.
Hook the other end of the wire to your subwoofer amplifier in
accordance with its owner's manual.
If the enclosure is to be mounted all the way in the back of the
vehicle, it works best to point the woofer toward the front of the
vehicle. Conversely, if the enclosure is going to be mounted
closer to the back seat, pointing the woofer toward the rear of the
vehicle will give you the best results. These guidelines pertain to
enclosures mounted in the vehicle as outlined in Figure A.
With the enclosure right side up, securely attach it to the
vehicle with the supplied larger screws.
If the supplied hardware is not applicable to your installation,
some other means of securely attaching the enclosure to the
vehicle must be used.
Note: To get the best performance from your Comp Subwoofer Enclosure, we recommend using genuine Kicker Accessories and Wiring.
