VCVR10 / VCVR1 2
Ve n t e d En clo su re Syst e m s
Congratulations! You have just purchased one of the most flexible subwoofers
yet from KICKER. Your CompVR sub is designed to give you great bass perform-
ance in a wide variety of applications. These installations instructions will help you
get the most out of your new KICKER sub. Thanks for buying KICKER. Enjoy!

VCVR Series vented enclosures com bine KICKER’s Com pVR subwoofer with
com puter designed and hum an-fine-tuned enclosures. They offer a level of
bass perform ance never before thought possible from a com m ercially avail-
able enclosure. The VCVR Series enclosures are covered in carpet for protec-
tion and pre-loaded with a Com pVR woofer.
The location and orientation of your VC enclosure will affect the quality
and quantity of the bass. Designed for use in SUVs and sedan type vehicles,
the enclosure offers you several m ounting options.
The first rule you m ust rem em ber is that the vent opening in these enclo-
sures cannot be obstructed. Around the tuning frequency of the vent a
substantial am ount of bass is created. Therefore we recom m end you leave
at least four inches of clear space around the vent.
If the enclosure is to be m ounted 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 m ounted 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 m ounted cross-ways in the
vehicle as shown below.
