SOLOCLASSICSUBWOOFEROwner’sManual
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 2Ω (ohm) or dual 4Ω voice coils. Both coils must be
connected to a source of amplifi cation. The dual 2Ω woofer will generate a 1Ω load if the coils are wired
in parallel (make certain that your amp is 1 Ω stable) or a 4Ω load if wired in series. The dual 4Ω woofer
will provide a 2Ω load when wired in parallel or an 8Ω 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.
