Installation
The Kicker Comp subwoofers are designed to be extremely versatile. Comp subwoofers excel in a sealed or vented box, and they
surpass the competition on an infinite baffle (free-air) installation.
Infinite Baffle Mounting
The infinite baffle mounting method effectively utilizes the rear deck and trunk space of most sedan type vehicles. Mark the rear
deck or parcel shelf for the hole cut-out diameter of the subwoofer and cut the holes. The rear deck may need to be reinforced to help
hold the weight of the subwoofer and to keep it from flexing during playback. Mount 3/4” (1.9 cm) thick MDF (Medium Density
Fiberboard) to the bottom of the deck. Mark the MDF and cut the holes. If MDF is not available in your area, use marine grade
plywood.
To optimize the infinite baffle installation, prevent the trunk, or rear, sound waves (generated from the back of the subwoofer cone)
from entering the passenger area of the vehicle. Gaps or holes in the trunk area may be filled with silicone.
Note: To get the best performance from your Comp subwoofer, we recommend
using genuine Kicker Accessories and Wiring.
