Vented Enclosures
DCVR Series vented enclosures combine KICKER’s award winning CompVR subwoofers with
To get all the amazing performance potential from your new enclosure, you need to follow some basic rules. Please read these instructions carefully. Then, you will be ready to install the subwoofer enclosure and be on the road and “Livin’ Loud™”.
The location and orientation of your DCVR enclosure will affect the quality and quantity of the bass. Designed for use in SUVs and sedan type vehicles, the DCVR enclosure offers you several mounting options.
The vent opening in these enclosures can not be obstructed. At some frequencies most of the bass will come out of the vent. Therefore we recommend you leave at least four inches (10 cm) of clear space around the vent.
If the enclosure is to be mounted all the way in the back of the vehicle, it works best to point the woofer toward the front of the vehicle. Conversely, if the enclosure is going to be mounted closer to the back seat, pointing the woofer toward the rear of the vehicle will give you the best results. These guidelines pertain to enclosures mounted in the vehicle as outlined in Figure A.
When it is more convenient to mount the enclosure along a side wall, put the enclosure on the right side of the vehicle as outlined in Figure B. This orientation will make the vent point toward the rear of the vehicle and will produce the most low bass output. Remember to leave at least four inches of room between the enclosure and the back of the vehicle.
After determining the best mounting position, carefully check the areas where the mounting brackets will be placed. Make sure the mounting screws will not puncture the gas tank, brake lines, wiring, or interfere with any mechanical parts on the underside of the mounting surface. Turn the enclosure
Plug your subwoofer speaker wire into the terminals, using the red connector as positive and the black connector as negative. Hook the other end of the wire to your subwoofer amplifier in accordance with its owner's manual.
With the enclosure right side up, securely attach it to the vehicle with the supplied larger screws.
If the supplied hardware is not applicable to your installation, some other means of securely attaching the enclosure to the vehicle must be used.
Installation
Measurements are based on the 4 ohm enclosures. Note: The use of a subsonic filter will significantly increase the powerhandling.
The power handling specifications in this chart are calculated using a 25 Hz, 24 dB per octave subsonic filter.
