2. After carefully removing the new SPAIR from the shipping container, remove the Coil Cap from the  
new SPAIR assembly by unscrewing and removing the binding posts which secure the Coil Cap to  
the new SPAIR.  
3. Connect the wiring to the four binding posts on the new SPAIR. Refer to Figure 6 and Figure 7 on the  
previous page and follow the appropriate wiring diagram to achieve the desired ohm load. If your  
system was properly wired, you will simply reconnect the wires to the voice coils as they were on the  
old SPAIR.

New SPAIR  
SoloX subwoofers are available with dual 4Ω (ohm) or dual 2Ω voice coils. Both coils must be  
connected to a source of amplification. The dual 4Ω woofer will generate a 2Ω load if the coils are  
wired in parallel or a 8Ω load in series. The dual 2Ω woofer will provide a 1Ω load wired in parallel or  
4Ω load wired in series. The terminals with the white dots are for the first voice coil. The terminals with  
solid-red and solid-black markings are for the second voice coil. See Figures 6 and 7.

c.  
Carefully insert the new SPAIR back into the BAM; do not  
damage the voice coil. The double-end threaded studs  
and the ARCTIC (Aluminum Rapid Cooling Thermal  
Induction Centering) Cap, located on the top of the  
extended pole piece, will help to center the new SPAIR as  
you lower it into the BAM. When properly aligned, these  
assemblies easily slide together.

Pro Tip: You are one ZX Mono-Amplifier and a few cables away from a slamm’in system!  
The Kicker ZX line of mono-amplifiers make it easy to upgrade to rock-solid bass.

AcousticsLimitedWarranty  
InternationalWarranty  
Kicker warrants this product to be free from defects in material and workmanship under normal use for a period of  
THREE (3) MONTHS from date of original purchase with receipt. When purchased from an Authorized KICKER  
Dealer it is warranted for ONE (1) YEAR from date of original purchase with receipt. In all cases you must have the  
original receipt. Should service be necessary under this warranty for any reason due to manufacturing defect or  
malfunction during the warranty period, Kicker will repair or replace (at its discretion) the defective merchandise with  
equivalent merchandise at no charge. Warranty replacements may have cosmetic scratches and blemishes.  
Discontinued products may be replaced with more current equivalent products.  
Contact your International Kicker dealer or distributor concerning specific procedures for your country's warranty  
policies.  
WARNING: KICKER products are capable of producing sound levels that can permanently damage your hearing!  
Turning up a system to a level that has audible distortion is more damaging to your ears than listening to an  
undistorted system at the same volume level. The threshold of pain is always an indicator that the sound level is too  
loud and may permanently damage your hearing. Please use common sense when controlling volume.  
This warranty is valid only for the original purchaser and is not extended to owners of the product subsequent to the  
original purchaser. Any applicable implied warranties are limited in duration to a period of the express warranty as  
provided herein beginning with the date of the original purchase at retail, and no warranties, whether express or  
implied, shall apply to this product thereafter. Some states do not allow limitations on implied warranties; therefore  
these exclusions may not apply to you. This warranty gives you specific legal rights; however you may have other  
rights that vary from state to state.  
GARANTÍA INTERNACIONAL  
VersiónEspañol  
Comuníquese con su concesionario o distribuidor Kicker internacional para obtener infor ación sobre procedimientos  
específicos relacionados con las normas de garantía de su país.  
ADVERTENCIA: Los excitadores Kicker son capaces de producir niveles de sonido que pueden dañar  
permanentemente el oído. Subir el volumen del sistema hasta un nivel que produzca distorsión es más dañino para el  
oído que escuchar un sistema sin distorsión al mismo volumen. El dolor es siempre una indicación de que el sonido es  
muy fuerte y que puede dañar permanentemente el oído. Sea precavido cuando controle el volumen.  
WHAT TO DO IF YOU NEED WARRANTY OR SERVICE  
Defective merchandise should be returned to your local Authorized Stillwater Designs (Kicker) Dealer for warranty  
Designs directly. You can confirm that a dealer is authorized by asking to see a current authorized dealer window  
decal.

INTERNATIONALE GARANTIE  
DeutscheVersion  
Stillwater Designs, 5021 North Perkins Road, Stillwater, OK 74075  
Nehmen Sie mit Ihren internationalen Kicker-Fachhändler oder Vertrieb Kontakt auf, um Details über die  
Garantieleistungen in Ihrem Land zu erfahren.  
The RMA number must be clearly marked on the outside of the package. Please return only defective components  
(most likely the SPAIR). The return of functioning items increases your return freight charges. Non-defective items  
will be returned freight-collect to you. For example, if a subwoofer is defective, only return the defective subwoofer,  
not the entire enclosure.  
WARNUNG: KICKER-Treiber können einen Schallpegel erzeugen, der zu permanenten Gehörschäden führen kann!  
Wenn Sie ein System auf einen Pegel stellen, der hörbare Verzerrungen erzeugt, schadet das Ihren Ohren mehr, als ein  
nicht verzerrtes System auf dem gleichen Lautstärkepegel. Die Schmerzschwelle ist immer eine Anzeige dafür, dass  
der Schallpegel zu laut ist und zu permanenten Gehörschäden führen kann. Seien Sie bei der Lautstärkeeinstellung  
bitte vernünftig!  
Include a copy of the original receipt with the purchase date clearly visible, and a "proof-of-purchase" statement  
listing the Customer's name, Dealer's name and invoice number, and product purchased. Warranty expiration on  
items without proof-of-purchase will be determined from the type of sale and manufacturing date code. Freight must  
be prepaid; items sent freight-collect, or COD, will be refused.  
Der Slogan "Treibstoff für Livin' Loud" bezieht sich auf die mit den Kicker-Autostereosystemen assoziierte

("Livin' Loud") zu streben. Die Lautsprecher und Verstärker von Kicker sind auf dem Markt für Auto-Soundsysteme  
führend und stellen somit den "Treibstoff" für das Autostereoerlebnis unserer Kunden dar. Wir empfehlen allen unseren  
Kunden, sich bezüglich der zugelassenen und passenden Lautstärkepegel außerhalb des Autos an die örtlichen  
Lärmvorschriften zu halten.

AVERTISSEMENT: Les haut-parleurs Kicker ont la capacité de produire des niveaux sonores pouvant endommager  
l'ouïe de façon irréversible ! L'augmentation du volume d'un système jusqu'à un niveau présentant une distorsion  
audible endommage davantage l'ouïe que l'écoute d'un système sans distorsion au même volume. Le seuil de la  
douleur est toujours le signe que le niveau sonore est trop élevé et risque d'endommager l'ouïe de façon irréversible.  
Réglez le volume en faisant prevue de bon sens !  
L'expression " carburant pour vivre plein pot " fait référence au dynamisme de la marque Kicker d'équipements audio  
pour véhicules et a pour but d'encourager nos clients à faire le maximum (" vivre plein pot ") dans tous les aspects de  
leur vie. Les haut-parleurs et amplificateurs Kicker sont les meilleurs dans le domaine des équipements audio et  
représentent donc pour nos client le " carburant pour vivre plein pot " dans l'aspect " installation audio de véhicule "  
de leur vie. Nous encourageons tous nos clients à respecter toutes les lois et réglementations locales relatives aux  
niveaux sonores acceptables à l'extérieur des véhicules.

HOW LONG WILL IT TAKE?  
Kicker strives to maintain a goal of 24-hour service for all acoustics (subwoofers, midrange drivers, tweeters,  
crossovers, etc) returns. Delays may be incurred if lack of replacement inventory or parts is encountered.  
Failure to follow these steps may void your warranty. Any questions can be directed to the Kicker Customer Service  
Department at (405) 624-8510. Contact your International Kicker dealer or distributor concerning specific
