Comp Subwoofers
Installation
Recommended EnclosuresComp Sealed Enclosure ApplicationsThe Kicker Comp excels when used in the recommended sealed boxes. These sealed enclosure designs will give the smoothest
response with increased energy at the lowest frequencies,
20 to 30 Hz. These designs deliver massive amounts of high impact bass and can be driven with high levels of amplifier power.
The Comp high performance suspension system can operate in a larger sealed enclosure without sacrificing its power handling
ability. 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 sub bass.
Comp 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.
