Overview
IMPORTANT SAFETY WARNING
FIRE HAZARD: PROLONGED, CONTINUOUS OPERATION OF AN AMPLIFIER, SPEAKER, OR SUBWOOFER IN AN
OVER-POWERED, DISTORTED, OR CLIPPED MANNER MAY CAUSE YOUR AUDIO SYSTEM TO OVERHEAT AND
CATCH FIRE. TO PREVENT PROPERTY DAMAGE: TURN OFF AND ALLOW COMPONENTS TO COOL AFTER
EXTENDED PERIODS OF USE.
ALWAYS READ AND FOLLOW INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS. PROFESSIONAL INSTALLATION
RECOMMENDED.
NEVER COVER AMPLIFIER OR SUBWOOFER – MINIMUM OF 1 IN. (2.5 CM) FROM FRONT OF SPEAKER AND
ANY SURFACE.
HEARING LOSS HAZARD: YOUR KICKER PRODUCT CAN PRODUCE SOUND LEVELS THAT CAN
PERMANENTLY DAMAGE YOUR HEARING! TO PREVENT POSSIBLE PERMANENT HEARING LOSS:
IMMEDIATELY REDUCE VOLUME IF YOU EXPERIENCE ANY PAIN OR OTHER SYMPTOMS.
ALWAYS REDUCE VOLUME IF YOU HEAR AUDIBLE DISTORTION. DISTORTION MAY CAUSE MORE DAMAGE
TO YOUR EARS THAN LISTENING TO AN UNDISTORTED SOUND AT THE SAME VOLUME.
ALWAYS USE COMMON SENSE WHEN CONTROLLING VOLUME.
