INSTALLATION
Note: The use of a subsonic filter will significantly increase the power handling. The power handling specifications in these charts are
calculated using a 25Hz, 24dB per octave subsonic filter. Measurements based on 4 ohm voice coil models. All specifications and
performance figures are subject to change. Please visit the www.kicker.com for the most current information.

then the subwoofer was out of phase in reference to the rest of the system.
