WiringOptions

SoloX subwoofers are available with dual 4Ω (ohm) or dual 2Ω voice coils. Both coils must be connected to a source of amplification. The dual 4Ω woofer will generate a 2Ω load if the coils are wired in parallel or a 8Ω load in series. The dual 2Ω woofer will provide a 1Ω load wired in parallel or

4Ω load wired in series. The terminals with the white dots are for the first voice coil. The terminals with

solid-red and solid-black markings are for the second voice coil. See Figures 6 and 7.

c.Carefully insert the new SPAIR back into the BAM; do not damage the voice coil. The double-end threaded studs and the ARCTIC (Aluminum Rapid Cooling Thermal Induction Centering) Cap, located on the top of the extended pole piece, will help to center the new SPAIR as you lower it into the BAM. When properly aligned, these assemblies easily slide together.

Pro Tip: You are one ZX Mono-Amplifier and a few cables away from a slamm’in system!

The Kicker ZX line of mono-amplifiers make it easy to upgrade to rock-solid bass.

Please ask your dealer about the Kicker ZX Amplifier upgrades.
