2.2 Wiring Dual Voice Coil (DVC) Subwoofers
The KICKER CompVR 43CVR124 features a Dual Voice Coil (DVC) design with a 4 Ohm impedance per coil. This allows for flexible wiring configurations to match your amplifier's impedance requirements. Always ensure your amplifier is stable at the chosen impedance.

Common wiring configurations for a 4 Ohm DVC subwoofer:
- Parallel Wiring (2 Ohm Load): Connect the positive terminals of both voice coils together, and the negative terminals of both voice coils together. Connect the amplifier's positive output to the combined positive terminals, and the amplifier's negative output to the combined negative terminals. This results in a 2 Ohm load.
- Series Wiring (8 Ohm Load): Connect the positive terminal of one voice coil to the negative terminal of the other voice coil. Connect the amplifier's positive output to the remaining positive terminal, and the amplifier's negative output to the remaining negative terminal. This results in an 8 Ohm load.

3.1 Fitantanana hery
The CompVR 43CVR124 is rated for 50-400 Watts RMS (Root Mean Square) power handling, with a peak power handling of 800 Watts. Ensure your amplifier's output matches these specifications to prevent damage to the subwoofer.
3.2 AmpLifier Settings
- Fametrahana tombony: Set ny amplifier gain according to the amplifier manufacturer's instructions, typically by matching it to the head unit's output voltage. Avoid setting the gain too high, as this can lead to clipping and damage.
- Sivana Low Pass (LPF): Set the LPF on your amplifier or head unit to filter out high frequencies, typically between 80 Hz and 120 Hz. Subwoofers are designed to reproduce low frequencies only.
- Sivana Subsonika (HPF): Raha ny amplifier has a subsonic filter (also known as a high-pass filter for subwoofers), set it slightly below your enclosure's tuning frequency to protect the subwoofer from over-excursion at very low frequencies.
- Fampiroboroboana Bass: Use bass boost sparingly, if at all. Excessive bass boost can cause distortion and damage.
3.3 Vanim-potoana fidirana an-tsehatra
Allow a break-in period of approximately 10-20 hours of normal listening before operating the subwoofer at high volumes. This allows the suspension components to loosen up and achieve optimal performance.
4. Fikojakojana
The KICKER CompVR 43CVR124 is designed for durability. Regular maintenance is minimal but important for long-term performance.
- Fanadiovana: Use a soft, dry cloth to gently wipe the cone and surround. Avoid using harsh chemicals or excessive moisture.
- Fanaraha-maso: Periodically inspect the subwoofer for any signs of damage to the cone, surround, or terminals. Ensure all wiring connections remain secure.
- Antony ara-tontolo iainana: Protect the subwoofer from extreme temperatures, direct sunlight, and excessive moisture.
