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.

WIRING
Solo-Baric
L7
subwoofers are available with dual
20
(ohm) or dual
40
voice coils. Both coils must be
connected to a source of amplification. The dual
20
woofer will generate a
10
load
if
the coils are wired
in
parallel or a
40
load
in
series. The dual
40
woofer will provide a
20
load wired
in
parallel or
80
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
Figure
1.
Sound
Check:
Poor bass response? Check the system phasing by reversing the positive and negative
speaker connections on the subwoofer.
If
the bass improves, then the subwoofer was out of phase
in
reference to the rest of the audio system.
