SoloX Limited Warranty

Ok, you have read all the fine print on the previous page describing the 

warranty on a Solo X Subwoofer, (enough there to make even Judge Judy happy)
but what does it all mean? Well, let’s just lay it all out in as simple of terms as pos-
sible.  

The Solo X is a high performance machine that is built to take gobs of power,

play extremely loud and create enough low bass to rattle the fillings out of your
friend’s teeth who lives in the next county. It is built using the finest materials and
highest degree of workmanship we have available. It is the NASCAR of 
subwoofers...designed to be driven hard into all four corners...and we are sure you
will drive it just that way! 

With all that being said...we know some of you will still be able to break this

product…it is a plain and simple fact. When you build an extreme product to be
used by extreme people these people can and will find the breaking point...just like
Tony Stewart snapping a rod in a motor.

That is why we designed the Solo X to have a permanently mounted BAM

(Basket And Motor) assembly with a replaceable soft parts assembly, the SPAIR
(Simple Pull Apart Insertable Replacement), so that when you find the breaking
point (and if you can still hear or feel) you can re-build it on the spot. If you read the
big poster that came with your woofer (you did...right?) you know Sam & Sid told
you this thing weighs more than a Mini Cooper (well...really it weighs in at near 100
pounds/45.36 kg). The BAM which is about 90% of the weight in a Solo X stays
mounted in your enclosure AND in your car; you simply exchange the much lighter
SPAIR. This saves you all the fun of wrestling with the entire Solo X and the
ENORMOUS costs of shipping a 100 pound (45.36 kg) woofer to your dealer or
distributor.

The SPAIR and all the parts contained within it are not warranted for:

¾

Burnt, Shucked, Bent, Unraveled or Open Voice Coils.

¾

Torn, Ripped or Punctured Surrounds.

¾

Torn, Ripped or Punctured Cones.

¾

Torn, Ripped or Punctured Spiders. 

¾

Burnt or Frayed Tinsel Leads. 

We also do not warranty the SPAIR for:

¾

Wear and Tear under normal use.

¾

Product damaged due to abuse.

¾

Damage to Vehicle and/or other components of the sound system.

¾

Scattered, Smothered, Covered and Chunked units.

The SPAIR and BAM are not covered under warranty for any damage due to

shipping or improper packaging.

So what will KICKER cover under warranty?

¾

Poor or misaligned glue joints.

¾

Poor or misaligned parts.

¾

Material, Machining or Assembly flaws with the BAM.

So in a nut-shell if and when you break it (which takes A LOT) you simply return

the soft parts assembly (the SPAIR) to your local dealer and purchase another
SPAIR.  If there is a problem with the SPAIR and you feel it should be covered
under warranty, you will need to contact your International Stillwater Designs 
(KICKER) dealer or distributor

Special Note:

OK that all sounds pretty black and white but we are KICKER

and we know stuff happens. If your Solo X stops working and after pulling the
SPAIR you find a failure other than that mentioned above that you feel is a 
manufacturing defect or poor workmanship you may contact your International
Stillwater Designs (KICKER) dealer or distributor) for details.
