AcousticsLimitedWarranty

Kicker warrants this product to be free from defects in material and workmanship under normal use for a period of THREE (3) MONTHS from date of original purchase with receipt. When purchased from an Authorized KICKER Dealer it is warranted for ONE (1) YEAR from date of original purchase with receipt. In all cases you must have the original receipt. Should service be necessary under this warranty for any reason due to manufacturing defect or malfunction during the warranty period, Kicker will repair or replace (at its discretion) the defective merchandise with equivalent merchandise at no charge. Warranty replacements may have cosmetic scratches and blemishes. Discontinued products may be replaced with more current equivalent products.

This warranty is valid only for the original purchaser and is not extended to owners of the product subsequent to the original purchaser. Any applicable implied warranties are limited in duration to a period of the express warranty as provided herein beginning with the date of the original purchase at retail, and no warranties, whether express or implied, shall apply to this product thereafter. Some states do not allow limitations on implied warranties; therefore these exclusions may not apply to you. This warranty gives you specific legal rights; however you may have other rights that vary from state to state.

WHAT TO DO IF YOU NEED WARRANTY OR SERVICE

Defective merchandise should be returned to your local Authorized Stillwater Designs (Kicker) Dealer for warranty service. Assistance in locating an Authorized Dealer can be found at www.kicker.com or by contacting Stillwater Designs directly. You can confirm that a dealer is authorized by asking to see a current authorized dealer window decal.

If it becomes necessary for you to return defective merchandise directly to Stillwater Designs (Kicker), call the Kicker Customer Service Department at (405) 624-8510 for a Return Merchandise Authorization (RMA) number. Package only the defective items in a package that will prevent shipping damage, and return to:

Stillwater Designs, 5021 North Perkins Road, Stillwater, OK 74075

The RMA number must be clearly marked on the outside of the package. Please return only defective components. The return of functioning items increases your return freight charges. Non-defective items will be returned freight- collect to you. For example, if a subwoofer is defective, only return the defective subwoofer, not the entire enclosure.

Include a copy of the original receipt with the purchase date clearly visible, and a "proof-of-purchase" statement listing the Customer's name, Dealer's name and invoice number, and product purchased. Warranty expiration on items without proof-of-purchase will be determined from the type of sale and manufacturing date code. Freight must be prepaid; items sent freight-collect, or COD, will be refused.

WARNING: KICKER products 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.

ADVERTENCIA: Los excitadores Kicker son capaces de producir niveles de sonido que pueden dañar permanentemente el oído. Subir el volumen del sistema hasta un nivel que produzca distorsión es más dañino para el oído que escuchar un sistema sin distorsión al mismo volumen. El dolor es siempre una indicación de que el sonido es muy fuerte y que puede dañar permanentemente el oído. Sea precavido cuando controle el volumen.

WARNUNG: KICKER-Treiber können einen Schallpegel erzeugen, der zu permanenten Gehörschäden führen kann! Wenn Sie ein System auf einen Pegel stellen, der hörbare Verzerrungen erzeugt, schadet das Ihren Ohren mehr, als ein nicht verzerrtes System auf dem gleichen Lautstärkepegel. Die Schmerzschwelle ist immer eine Anzeige dafür, dass der Schallpegel zu laut ist und zu permanenten Gehörschäden führen kann. Seien Sie bei der Lautstärkeeinstellung bitte vernünftig!

Der Slogan "Treibstoff für Livin' Loud" bezieht sich auf die mit den Kicker-Autostereosystemen assoziierte Lebensfreude und die Tatsache, dass wir unsere Kunden ermutigen, in allen Aspekten ihres Lebens nach dem Besten ("Livin' Loud") zu streben.

AVERTISSEMENT: Les haut-parleurs Kicker ont la capacité de produire des niveaux sonores pouvant endommager l'ouïe de façon irréversible !

DC12 specifications

The Kicker DC12 is a high-performance car subwoofer that stands tall in the realm of bass sound systems. Known for its ability to deliver deep, resonant bass, the DC12 excels in both sound quality and durability, making it a favored choice among audiophiles and casual listeners alike.

One of the main features of the Kicker DC12 is its rugged construction. It employs a dual voice coil design that allows for more flexibility in wiring configurations. This flexibility is particularly useful for audiophiles who want to optimize their sound systems in various vehicles. The subwoofer is rated at 1200 watts of peak power, ensuring that it can handle the demands of powerful audio setups without distortion.

The DC12 is designed with a heavy-duty injection-molded polypropylene cone, which contributes to its ability to produce tight and impactful bass. The cone is paired with a rubberized surround, which not only enhances durability but also improves the sound quality by offering better cone movement and reducing unwanted resonance. This combination results in a clean bass response that is both punchy and well-defined.

Another standout feature of the Kicker DC12 is its vented pole piece. This innovative design promotes better airflow, which helps to keep the subwoofer cool during extended use. Heat management is crucial for maintaining performance in high-power applications, and the vented pole piece allows the subwoofer to operate efficiently without risking damage due to overheating.

In terms of installation, the DC12 is user-friendly. It is equipped with four Ohm dual voice coils, allowing for various wiring options to accommodate both a 1 Ohm or 4 Ohm configuration. This versatility ensures compatibility with a wide range of amplifiers, making it a versatile addition to any sound system. Furthermore, the subwoofer features a galvanized steel frame, which provides sturdy support while minimizing unwanted vibrations.

In summary, the Kicker DC12 subwoofer represents a blend of advanced technology and robust design. With its powerful peak wattage, resilient construction, and efficient cooling system, it is an ideal choice for anyone looking to elevate their in-car audio experience. Whether you're a bass lover or just seeking improved sound quality, the Kicker DC12 is a worthy investment for any audio enthusiast.
