INTERNATIONAL WARRANTY

Contact your International Stillwater Designs dealer or distributor concerning specific procedures for your

WARNING:

• Items previously repaired or modified by any 

unauthorized repair facility.

• Items returned from unauthorized individuals or

(RA) number.

.KICKER components 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 perma-
nently damage your hearing.

Please use common sense when controlling volume!
