Overview
IMPORTANT SAFETY WARNING
PROLONGED CONTINUOUS OPERATION OF AN AMPLIFIER, SPEAKER, OR
SUBWOOFER IN A DISTORTED, CLIPPED OR OVER-POWERED MANNER
CAN CAUSE YOUR AUDIO SYSTEM TO OVERHEAT, POSSIBLY CATCHING
FIRE AND RESULTING IN SERIOUS DAMAGE TO YOUR COMPONENTS
AND/OR VEHICLE. AMPLIFIERS REQUIRE UP TO 4 INCHES (10CM) OPEN
VENTILATION. SUBWOOFERS SHOULD BE MOUNTED WITH AT LEAST 1
INCH (2.5CM) CLEARANCE BETWEEN THE FRONT OF THE SPEAKER AND
ANY SURFACE. 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.
The KICKER Competition GOLD-series
subwoofers celebrate the history and
innovation of KICKER subs, combining
the latest engineering upgrades with
the toughness and low-end frequency
response that are KICKER hallmarks. The
Gold-Series introduce the latest KICKER
innovation of Forced-Air Cooling, which
uses the excursion of the woofer to
force out hot air while drawing in cool air.
This results in a 20% reduction in heat,
increasing the already industry-leading
reliability of our subs. The massive power-
handling and motor, double-stitched
surround and other features you’ve come to
expect are also present. Whether upgrading
an existing audio system or decking out
a new one, these subwoofers are the
foundation for your music.

Wiring Configuration
GOLD-Series subwoofers are made with
dual 4Ω voice coils. Both coils must be
connected to a source of amplification.
They will provide a 2Ω load wired in parallel
or 8Ω load wired in series. Make sure
your source unit or amplifier is rated
at the correct ohm load for operation.
The speaker wire should be kept away
from sharp edges and avoid the possibility
of getting pinched by the trunk. If a factory
hole and grommet do not exist or are
inaccessible, you must drill a hole through
which to run the wire. Be careful not to drill
into other wiring or existing mechanisms.
Any time a wire is run through a hole, it
is necessary to insert a rubber or plastic
grommet to protect the wire from damage.

Box Building Notes
Use 3/4” (1.9cm) or thicker MDF (medium
density fiberboard) and seal the joints with
silicone. Use the “template” inside your
GOLD subwoofers shipping carton to mark
the mounting hole, then cut directly on the
line. These designs need internal bracing.
Add triangular bracing between each of the
larger unsupported panels.
All the cubic feet (L) measurements in this
manual include the displacement of the
woofer. For the vented enclosures the
displacement of the port must be calculated
and added to the internal volume of the
final design. Use the outer dimensions of
the port and multiply “X x Y x Z”, convert to
cubic feet, for example the GOLD12 Vented
Minimum design’s external port dimensions
are, using 3/4” (1.9cm) MDF:
(12.5” + 1.5” total MDF wall thickness) x
(2.5” + 1.5” total MDF wall thickness) x
(20”) x (1 ft3 / 1728 in3 ) = .65 ft3
Then, add this number to the internal
volume of the enclosure. 1.75 ft3 + .65 ft3 =
2.4 ft3
Due to the necessary length of these ports,
you may want to fold the port along the
bottom and back walls. It will be impractical
to use round ports for these designs.

Do not install a port opening against a solid
surface, such as an internal brace, back-
panel or trunk wall, seat or interior panel of
your vehicle. The port opening must remain
unobstructed. Use the smallest dimension
of the rectangular port as the minimum
amount of space between the port opening
and any solid surface to insure unrestricted
airflow.
You can loosely fill your enclosure with
poly-fil stuffing. Ported designs will require
covering the end of the port (located inside
the box) with grill cloth, chicken wire, or
expanded metal to prevent the poly-fil
from exiting the port. The use of poly-fil will
slightly decrease efficiency, but will deepen
and extend the low frequency output by
making your subwoofer think it’s in a bigger
box.

larger unsupported panels.

Sealed Enclosures
These sealed enclosure designs give the
smoothest response with increased energy
at the lowest frequencies, 20 to 30Hz.
These designs deliver massive amounts of
highly-accurate bass and can be driven with
punishing levels of amplifier power.
The GOLD-Series high performance
suspension system can operate in a larger
sealed enclosure. This maximum enclosure
volume application is ideal for SQ (ultra
sound quality) installations. The Maximum
enclosure generates a very flat response
curve and superbly extends the sub-bass
response.

GOLD-Series subwoofers perform well
in any size sealed enclosure between
the Minimum and Maximum volume
recommendations. These systems will
exhibit benefits of both designs. Overall,
the system will sound more like the
recommended enclosure design it is
closest to in enclosure volume. These
enclosure recommendations have been
calculated with the airspace inside the
enclosure and include the displacement of
the woofer. All sealed-enclosure airspace
should be filled to 50% loose poly-fil
(polyester fiberfill) stuffing. Do not make the
airspace greater than the SQ, maximum
enclosure volume, recommendation.

Vented Enclosures
These boxes are the enclosure of
choice if space is not a problem and
you want to get the most output and low
freqeuncy extension from your GOLD
subwoofer. GOLD subwoofers will handle
massive amounts of power in any of the
recommended enclosures, minimum or
maximum. The smaller enclosures are
best for use in limited-space applications.
The larger recommended enclosures
will yield slightly more bass at the lowest
frequencies.

The Vented Minimum design increases
bass efficiency and fits in many space-
limited applications. Although it is the
smallest recommended ported enclosure,
the output from 30 to 80 Hz will be
considerably higher than that of any sealed
box. The Vented Maximum design has even
more output in this frequency band. The
Maximum is the largest and most efficient
enclosure design.

Configuración del cableado
Los subwoofers de la serie GOLD están
fabricados con doble bobina de voz de 4Ω.
Ambas bobinas deben estar conectadas
a un fuente de amplificación. Ofrecerán
una carga de 2Ω conectadas en paralelo
o una carga de 8Ω conectadas en serie.
Asegúrese de que su unidad fuente
o amplificador esté clasificado para
operación con la carga de ohmios
correcta.
El cable del altavoz debe mantenerse
alejado de bordes afilados y evitar la
posibilidad de que quede atrapado por el
maletero. Si no existen un pasacables u
orificio de fábrica o estos son inaccesibles,
debe perforar un orificio para deslizar el
cable. Tenga cuidado de no perforar otros
cables o mecanismos existentes. Siempre
que se pase un cable por un orificio, es
necesario insertar un pasacables de goma
o plástico para proteger el cable de daños.

Notas para la construcción de cajas
acústicas
Use MDF (fibra de densidad media) de 3/4”
(1.9 cm) o más gruesa y selle las uniones con
silicona. Use la "plantilla" dentro de la caja
de embalaje de su subwoofer GOLD para
marcar el orificio de montaje, después corte
directamente sobre la línea. Estos diseños
necesitas de refuerzos internos. Agregue
refuerzos triangulares entre cada uno de los
paneles sin soporte de mayor tamaño.
Todas las medidas en pies cúbicos (L) en
este manual incluyen el desplazamiento del
woofer. En el caso de las carcasas ventiladas
el desplazamiento del puerto debe calcularse
y agregarse al volumen interno del diseño
final. Use las dimensiones externas del puerto
y multiplique "X x Y x Z", convierta a pies
cúbicos, por ejemplo las dimensiones del
puerto externo de la carcasa ventilada de
volumen mínimo GOLD12 son, usando MDF
de 3/4” (1.9 cm):
(12.5” + 1.5” espesor total del panel MDF) x
(2.5” + 1.5” espesor total del panel MDF) x
(20”) x (1 ft3 / 1728 in3 ) = .65 ft3
Posteriormente, agregue este número el volumen
interno de la carcasa. 1.75 ft3 + .65 ft3 = 2.4 ft3
Debido a la longitud necesaria de estos
puertos, es probable que desee plegar el
puerto a lo largo de las paredes inferior y
posterior. No sería práctico utilizar puertos
redondos para estos diseños.
20Español
Y
X
Z
No instale una abertura de puerto sobre una
superficie sólida, como un soporte interno,
un panel posterior o una pared del maletero,
asiento o panel interior de su vehículo. La
abertura del puerto debe permanecer libre
de obstrucciones. Utilice la dimensión más
pequeño del puerto rectangular como la
cantidad de espacio mínima entre la abertura
del puerto y cualquier superficie sólida para
garantizar un flujo de aire sin restricciones.
Puede rellenar ligeramente su carcasa con
relleno de poly-fil. Los diseños con puerto
requerirán de cubrir el extremo del puerto
(ubicado dentro de la caja) con paño rejilla,
malla de alambre o metal expandido para
evitar que el poly-fil salga por el puerto. El uso
de poly-fil reducirá ligeramente la eficiencia,
pero profundizará y ampliará la salida de baja
frecuencia logrando que su subwoofer se
comporte como si estuviera en una caja más
grande.
