WiringOptions
CompVR subwoofers are available with dual 2 Ω
(ohm) or dual 4 Ω voice coils. Both coils must be
connected to a source of amplification. The dual
2
Ω woofer will generate a 1Ω load if the coils are
wired in parallel or a 4 Ω load in series. The dual
4 Ω woofer will provide a 2Ω load wired in parallel
or 8 Ω load wired in series. The terminals with the
white dots are for the first voice coil. The terminals
with solid-red and solid-black markings are for the
second voice coil. See Figures 1 and 2.

SealedEnclosureApplications
The CompVR 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 CompVR high performance suspension system can operate in a larger sealed enclosure. This
maximum enclosure volume application is ideal for SQ (ultra sound quality) installations. The SQ
enclosure generates a very flat response curve and superbly extends the subbass response.
CompVR subwoofers perform well in any size sealed enclosure between the Compact and SQ volume
recommendations. These systems will exhibit benefits of both designs: Compact produces high-impact
bass, and SQ generates low bass frequency protraction. Overall, the system will sound more like the
recommended enclosure design it is closest to in enclosure volume. These enclosure recommendations
have been calculated with the airspace inside the enclosure and include the displacement of the woofer.
All sealed-enclosure airspace should be filled to 50% loose poly-fil (polyester fiberfill) stuffing. Do not
make the airspace greater than the SQ, maximum enclosure volume, recommendation.

Performance
The Kicker CompVR subwoofers were specially designed for “Livin’ Loud” out in the harsh automotive
environment. CompVR subwoofers are versatile and surpass the competition in a sealed or vented box.
They are made of advanced materials and construction techniques to maintain optimal performance for
years to come.
Please allow two weeks of break-in time for the subwoofer to reach optimum performance. To get the best performance
from your new Kicker subwoofers, we recommend using genuine Kicker Accessories and Wiring.
