WARNING: KICKER drivers are capable of producing sound levels that can permanently damage your hearing! Turning up a system to a level that has audible distortion is more damaging to your ears than listening to an undistorted system at the same volume level. The threshold of pain is always an indicator that the sound level is too loud and may permanently damage your hearing. Please use common sense when controlling volume!

		WARNING: To avoid potential injury, or possible death, from forward movement of the enclosure during abrupt stops or accidents,
		the enclosure must be properly installed and securely fastened to your vehicle.

	Note: To get the best performance from your ES Subwoofer Enclosure, we recommend using genuine Kicker Accessories and Wiring.
	Note: The use of a subsonic filter will significantly increase the power handling. The power handling specifications in this chart are calculated using a 25 Hz,
	24 dB per octave subsonic filter. All specifications and performance figures are subject to change. Please visit kicker.com for the most current information.
