VS Series vented enclosures combine KICKER’s award-winning Solo-Baric
subwoofers with computer designed and human-fine-tuned enclosures.
They offer a level of bass performance never before thought possible from
a commercially available enclosure. The VS Series enclosures are covered in a
Caataalyzed P
Polyurethaane for protection and pre-loaded with either a Solo-
Baric SL5 or SL7 woofer.
The location and orientation of your VS enclosure will affect the quality
and quantity of the bass. Designed for use in SUVs and sedan type vehicles,
the enclosure offers you several mounting options.
The first rule you must remember is that the vent opening in these enclo-
sures cannot be obstructed. Around the tuning frequency of the vent a
substantial amount of bass is created. Therefore we recommend you leave
at least four inches of clear space around the vent.
If the enclosure is to be mounted all the way in the back of the vehicle, it
works best to point the woofer toward the front of the vehicle. Conversely,
if the enclosure is going to be mounted closer to the back seat, pointing the
woofer toward the rear of the vehicle will give you the best results. These
guidelines are good for when the enclosure is mounted cross-ways in the
vehicle as shown below.
