This is the SLAM, SPAIR Lockdown

Attachment Mechanism, and is the four

piece aluminum ring with 12 mounting

holes attached to the front of the SPAIR.

This ring provides a solid surface for the

hardware to secure the SPAIR to the

BAM.

The highlighted piece in the center of

the cutaway view is the ARCTIC Cap,

Aluminum Rapid Cooling Thermal

Induction Centering, and has several

jobs. The most important to you right

now is to help center your SPAIR while

you are placing it into the BAM.

This ring is the SPLAT, Speaker

Precise Location Alignment Tool, and is

the threaded metal part mounted

underneath your enclosures baffle. This

part came with your SoloX 18 and

provides alignment and anchoring for the

BAM and SPAIR. All the hardware which

holds the BAM and SPAIR together

thread into the SPLAT.

DESCRIPTIONS

Descriptions

This box contains one SPAIR which is the replaceable moving parts

assembly for use with your SoloX 18 subwoofer. If or when you let the

Magic Smoke out of your SoloX 18 you can quickly and easily repair it

without having to remove and replace the very large and very heavy

motor assembly.

The following is a brief description of the various parts of the SoloX 18

and SPAIR you will be encountering in your replacement.

This is the SPAIR, Simple Pull Apart

Insertable Replacement. It is the

replaceable moving parts assembly for

your SoloX 18. NOTE: The Locator Pin

Hole insures proper alignment of the

SPAIR to the BAM. This hole must line up

with the Locator Pin on the BAM for

proper assembly.

This is the BAM, Basket And Motor

assembly, and is the 90+ pound cast

aluminum monster that mounts to your

enclosure to hold the SPAIR and give it

life.NOTE: The Locator Pin insures

proper alignment of the SPAIR to the

BAM. This pin must line up with the

Locator Pin Hole on the SPAIR for

proper assembly.

3. With the Coil Cap now

removed you can screw the

four binding posts

(clockwise) back into the

SPAIR assembly.

Note:

The B3 Link system

offers 3 ways to attach your

speaker wires to the SPAIR;

Binding post, Barrier strip

and terminal Block. If you

are using the terminal block

or barrier strip method to

attach your speaker wires,

use the appropriate

hardware included with your

S18X in place of the binding

posts. See your S18X

owners manual for more

details.

4. With your binding

posts or other hardware

now attached to the

SPAIR, place it voice coil

side up in a CLEAN and

SAFE location to protect it

from damage until you are

ready to put it in the BAM

(Basket And Motor)

assembly.

DISASSEMBLE

Disassemble

1. Remove the (4) four acorn head

nuts and (8) eight bolts

securing the SPAIR to the BAM.

ATTENTION!

2. Install the Gap Cap into

the BAM around the

pole-piece to protect the motor

assembly from debris while

you are changing the SPAIR.

If any metal shavings or

pieces of speaker wire were to

fall into the gap, they would be

next to impossible to remove!

Please use the Gap Cap!

3. With the Gap Cap now

installed disconnect the

speaker wires from the SPAIR.

4. Discard damaged SPAIR.

The damaged unit does not

need to be returned to your

Authorized KICKER Dealer

or to KICKER (Stillwater

Designs) unless requested

to do so. You might want to

hang it on your trophy

wall...all big game hunters

do this when they bag a 10

point.

WIRING

Wiring

SoloX Subwoofer

The SoloX S18XSP SPAIR assemblies are available with dual 2 Ohm

(W) or dual 1 Ohm (W) voice coils.

SINGLE AMPLIFIER

If operating the SoloX 18 with a single amplifier you will need to

connect both coils to that amplifier by series or parallel wiring of the coils.

Choose the method that is most compatible with your amplifier.

DUAL 2ΩSERIES = 4Ω

Series wiring the coils will give you an impedance of 4 ohms.

DUAL 1ΩSERIES = 2Ω

Series wiring the coils will give you an impedance of 2 ohms.

Coil 1 + is connected to your amplifier + speaker terminal.

Coil 1 - is connected to coil 2 + with a short piece of wire.

Coil 2 - is connected to your amplifier - speaker terminal.

DUAL 2ΩPARALLEL = 1Ω

Parallel wiring the coils will give you an impedance of 1 ohm.

DUAL 1ΩPARALLEL = .5Ω

Parallel wiring the coils will give you an impedance of .5 ohm.

Coil 1 + is connected to your amplifier + speaker terminal.

Coil 1 + is connected to coil 2 + with a short piece of wire.

Coil 1 - is connected to your amplifier - speaker terminal.

Coil 1 - is connected to coil 2 - with a short piece of wire.

ATTENTION!

The SPAIR is a dual voice coil assembly and as such it is very

important that you utilize both voice coils. It may be tempting to use just

one coil to achieve an impedance you want or think that the other coil

can be saved as a ‘spare’ (no pun intended)...please fight both these

urges!

1. The ‘spare’ coil philosophy is flawed because in the event you

damage one coil, it is 99.999% likely that you have damaged the other

coil as well. (in other words...it IS broken dude!)

2. The SoloX/SPAIR was designed to be operated with both voice coils

powered up. If you do not use both coils it will change the

performance characteristics of the driver; especially power handling.

All the power handling specifications given for the SoloX/SPAIR are

with the use of both voice coils. If you utilize only one voice coil you will

decrease the power handling by 50%; half of what we specify in the

SoloX/SPAIR manuals. It will also alter other specifications of the driver

which effect performance and enclosure design.

So as you look through these diagrams for wiring up the SPAIR you

may be saying to yourself: “Hey self...I can’t seem to find an

impedance I like using both coils...I will just use one coil”. Just tell

yourself that is a bad idea and that you should use both coils. Sam and

Sid use both voice coils and so should you.

ATTENTION!

If your BAM has a Locator Pin, skip the instructions here on page

7 and move directly to page 8! If your BAM does not have a

Locator Pin then you must perform these additional steps before

moving to page 8!

Step 1.) By rotating your

SPAIR 90 degrees in

relationship to the BAM there

are 4 possible ways it can be

placed into your SoloX 18

BAM. Due to part

tolerance and buildup it is

possible that only 1 of these

ways will work properly. You

will need to test fit each of

these 4 ways and use the one

that does not show any signs

of interference or

rubbing.

Side A

Step 2.) Pick a side of the

SPAIR and label it ‘Side A’.

Insert the SPAIR into the BAM

(you may need a friend to hold

the SPAIR into the BAM if

mounted vertically) and move

the SPAIR back and forth by

pressing directly in the center of

the SPAIR on the ‘X’. Make note

if there any any signs of rubbing

or interference.

Step 3.) Pull the SPAIR out, rotate it 90 degrees and place it back into

the BAM. Now move it back and forth again and make note if there any

any signs of rubbing or interference. You will need to

continue this step until you try all 4possible combinations. It is

possible that 3 of the 4 locations will have interference problems. There

will always be at least 1 of the 4 combinations that will work properly

and possibly more than one. But there will always be at least 1!!!

Side A

a) Remove SPAIR

b) Rotate SPAIR

c) Insert SPAIR

Step 4.) Mark the SPAIR and BAM

with a grease pen or piece of tape to

identify the 1mounting

configuration that DOES NOT have

rubbing or interference issues.

Grease Pen Marking

or Tape

Step 5.) Move to page 8 now and follow the instructions to wire up

and mount your SPAIR to the BAM. Ignore any references on page 8 to

the Locator Pin and Locator Hole, instead be sure to line up the sides of

the BAM and SPAIR with the markings or tape from Step 4.

REASSEMBLE

Reassemble

3. With the SPAIR properly

seated in the BAM you can now

secure it using the (4) four acorn

head nuts and (8) eight bolts.

Hand tighten all the

hardware onto the SLAM first

using the pattern shown below.

4. With a 1/4” socket

wrench or open end wrench

go around and tighten all the

hardware following the

pattern shown. Use common

sense while tightening. All

hardware should be snug

but not so tight as to crack

or damage the SLAM.

5. You’re Done! Pop the top on a nice cold beverage while you admire

your work. If you experience any difficulties, contact your local

Authorized KICKER Dealer or KICKER directly for further

assistance.

ATTENTION!

1. Do not remove the Gap

Cap before completing this

step! Connect your speaker

wires to the SPAIR. Use the

instructions from the WIRING

section for assistance if

required. NOTE: The Locator

Hole of the SPAIR must align

with the Locator Pin on the

BAM for proper assembly and

operation.

2. You can now remove the

Gap Cap and slide the SPAIR

assembly back into the BAM.

The ARCTIC Cap, four double

ended studs sticking up and

the Locator Hole/Locator Pin

will help you properly align and

guide it in. Be sure your

speaker wires are free and not

pinched between the SPAIR

and BAM.

KICKER drivers are capable of producing sound levels that can perma-

nently 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 perma-

nently damage your hearing.

Please use common sense when controlling volume!

WARNING:

This warranty is valid only if the product is used for the purpose for which it was designed.
