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 distor- tion 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!
