Manual
The KICKER Solo Classic subwoofers are built to bring you the best quality bass in a limited space, such
as behind the seat of your truck or in the hatchback of your car, leaving you with plenty of storage space
while offering high-performance and high-SPLs in smaller, sealed enclosures.
WIRING
Solo Classic subwoofers are available with dual 2
Ω
(ohm) or dual 4
Ω
voice coils. Both coils must be
connected to a source of amplifi cation. The dual 2
Ω
woofer will generate a 1
Ω
load if the coils are wired
in parallel (make certain that your amp is 1
Ω
stable) or a 4
Ω
load if wired in series. The dual 4
Ω
woofer
will provide a 2
Ω
load when wired in parallel or an 8
Ω
load when wired in series. The terminals with the
white dots are for the fi rst voice coil. The terminals with the solid-red and solid-black markings are for the
second voice coil. See Figures 1 and 2.
