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. We build just about all of our show vehicles with sealed boxes for the smooth response, good power handling and great sound quality they offer.

Of all the enclosures possible the sealed box is the easiest to build. The two most important rules are to make it very solid and to seal all the joints perfectly. If the panels of an enclosure can flex or vibrate you will experience a loss of bass output. You don't want to throw away any of the output capability of your Kicker Comp woofers. Sealing all the joints in the enclosure is necessary to avoid loss of output and driver failure.

The following information will give you examples of compact sealed enclosures for the Kicker Comp woofers. They have very high power handling and massive amounts of high impact bass. The given volumes are the minimum recommend- ed and include driver displacement. Maximum volumes for KICKER Comps are C8-1.2cf, C10-2.4 cf., C12-3.5 cf., and C15-5.0 cf. As the sealed enclosure vol- umes increase, the response will shift from high impact bass to a smoother and more extended low end.
