KICKER Comp Features
Hemispherical Polymineral Cone with Inverted Structural Dome™ (ISD)
means high rigidity under pressure for accurate linear control, low enclosure
pressure loss to reduce "pump-down", high internal dampening, and excellent
sunlight, pollution and moisture resistance
Double-Stitched Surround prevents cone/surround separation at
high excursions
Blackened Pole Piece maximizes heat transfer for long voice coil life
Extended Pole Piece allows cooler operation for superior power handling and
magnetic field linearity around voice coil gap for enhanced control
Vented Pole Piece relieves low bass-robbing pressure under the center dome
Extended Backplate prevents damaging voice coil "bottoming"
Perimeter Venting for measurably lower operating temperature and freer
cone motion
Hi-Temp Kapton® Voice Coil Former protects against warped, rubbing
voice coils
Long-Throw Voice Coil for enormous cone excursion capabilities
High Power Lead Wires resist lead breakage and reduce power robbing
resistance losses

- Page 1 Comp C10 and C12 Subwoofers Congratulations! You've just purchased one of the most flexible sub- woofers yet from KICKER. Your Comp sub is designed to give you great bass performance in a wide variety of applications. These installation instructions will help you get the most out of your new KICKER sub.
- Page 2 Installing Your New Kicker Driver The Comp Drivers are designed to be as universal as possible. Great perform- ance can be obtained when using them in sealed or vented boxes as well as on an Infinite Baffle (freeair). Infinite Baffle Mounting The infinite baffle or freeair mounting method is very effective in a sedan type of vehicle.
- Page 3 Sealed box mounting A very smooth bass response with good low bass extension is achieved when the Kicker Comp woofers are mounted in a correctly built sealed box with the correct airspace. Sealed (acoustic suspension) designs have been a favorite here at Kicker since the original Competition Series was introduced.
- Page 4 Vented Box Mounting Almost as easy to build as the sealed box, the vented or ported enclosure can give you more output at certain bass frequencies. Although this design has an output advantage at some frequencies it also has a sharper rolloff characteristic which will only affect the lowest of bass frequencies.
- Page 5 Multiple Woofer Enclosures If you are building enclosures for more than one woofer, they should always be divided to maintain the correct airspace for each woofer. There are a couple of reasons for this. First of all, not all woofers are exactly the same. If there are slight differences between the woofers in a common enclosure, at certain fre- quencies one woofer may think it's in a larger enclosure than intended.
- Page 6 Miscellaneous Installation Notes A common source of air leaks is the connecting wire for the woofers. Terminal cups are commonly available and are recommended. They provide an airtight means for bringing the wire into the enclosure and allow for easy wiring changes.
