Installation Instructions

VC Series vented enclosures combine KICKER’s Comp subwoofer with

computer designed and human-fine-tuned enclosures. They offer a level of

bass performance never before thought possible from a commercially avail-

able enclosure. The VC Series enclosures are covered in carpet for protection

and pre-loaded with a Comp woofer.

The location and orientation of your VC enclosure will affect the quality

and quantity of the bass. Designed for use in SUVs and sedan type vehicles,

the enclosure offers you several mounting options.

The first rule you must remember is that the vent opening in these enclo-

sures cannot be obstructed. Around the tuning frequency of the vent a

substantial amount of bass is created. Therefore we recommend you leave

at least four inches 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 are good for when the enclosure is mounted cross-ways in the

vehicle as shown below.

When it is more convenient to mount the enclosure along a side wall, your best option is to put it on the left side of the vehicle. (Shown below) This orientation will point the vent 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.
