Solo-Baric L3 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

Note: All specifi cations and performance fi gures are subject to change. Please visit www.kicker.com for the most
current information. To get the best performance from your new KICKER Subwoofer, we recommend using genuine
KICKER Accessories and Wiring. Please allow two weeks of break-in time for the subwoofer to reach optimum
performance.
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.
