What is the advantage of a subsonic filter?
Correct Answer
C. Protects woofer in ported boxes from over excursion
Explanation
A subsonic filter is advantageous because it protects the woofer in ported boxes from over excursion. When a woofer is driven too hard at low frequencies, it can move beyond its physical limits and cause damage. The subsonic filter prevents this by filtering out frequencies below a certain point, ensuring that the woofer only reproduces frequencies within its safe operating range. This helps to extend the lifespan of the woofer and maintain its performance.

The venting helps to cool the voice coil and prevent overheating, which can improve the overall performance and longevity of the woofer. Additionally, the venting can also help to reduce distortion and improve the bass response of the speaker.
6.
What is the surround made of on the KS coaxial?
Correct Answer
D. Santoprene
Explanation
The surround on the KS coaxial is made of Santoprene.
7.
What type of power supply does the IX amplifier line have?
Correct Answer
D. Voltage boost converter
Explanation
The IX amplifier line has a voltage boost converter power supply. This means that it uses a device to increase the voltage level of the input power to a higher level required for the amplifier to function properly. This type of power supply is commonly used in amplifiers to ensure that they receive the necessary power for optimal performance.
8.
What year did Kicker start to sell car audio speakers?
Correct Answer
B. 1980
Explanation
Kicker started selling car audio speakers in 1980.
9.
What was the first small box subwoofer?
Correct Answer
B. Competition
Explanation
The correct answer is "Competition" because it is the only option provided that refers to a small box subwoofer. The other options, Solobaric, CompVR, and Solobaric L7, do not specify the size or type of subwoofer. Therefore, "Competition" is the most logical choice as the first small box subwoofer.
10.
What is the advantage of the extended pole piece?
Correct Answer
E. All of the above
Explanation
The extended pole piece provides multiple advantages. It allows for linear excursion, which means the speaker can move back and forth in a straight line, resulting in improved sound quality and reduced distortion. Additionally, the extended pole piece helps in better cooling of the speaker, preventing overheating and increasing its reliability. Therefore, the extended pole piece offers all of these benefits, making "All of the above" the correct answer.
11.
What are the Kicker enclosures covered with?
Correct Answer
D. Rugged carpet and carbon fiber look vinyl
Explanation
The Kicker enclosures are covered with rugged carpet and carbon fiber look vinyl. This combination of materials provides both durability and a sleek appearance to the enclosures. The rugged carpet helps to protect the enclosures from scratches and dents, while the carbon fiber look vinyl adds a stylish touch. This covering ensures that the enclosures are both functional and visually appealing.
12.
Kicker CompVR woofers are dual voice coil?
Correct Answer
A. True
Explanation
The correct answer is true because Kicker CompVR woofers are indeed dual voice coil. Dual voice coil means that the woofer has two separate voice coils, allowing for more flexibility in wiring options and potentially producing a stronger and more accurate sound.
13.
What is the crossover slope on the Kicker IX stereo amps?
Correct Answer
D. 24 db/octave
Explanation
The crossover slope on the Kicker IX stereo amps is 24 db/octave. This means that the amplifier can effectively separate and route different frequency ranges to the appropriate speakers or subwoofers with a steep slope of 24 decibels per octave. This high slope allows for a more precise and efficient distribution of frequencies, resulting in improved audio quality and clarity.
14.
What does the SUM8 do?
Correct Answer
E. All of the above
Explanation
The SUM8 is a device that has multiple functions. It can convert speaker level to RCA, add an auxiliary input, sum up to 8 channels of speaker level or low level signal to make a single output, and also adds remote bass level control. Therefore, the correct answer is "All of the above."
15.
The IX500.4 has both RCA inputs and outputs?
Correct Answer
A. True
Explanation
The IX500.4 is a device that has both RCA inputs and outputs. This means that it can receive audio signals through RCA cables and also send audio signals out through RCA cables.
16.
What is not an advantage of a "T" cut top plate?
Correct Answer
C. Lighter weight
Explanation
A "T" cut top plate does not provide the advantage of lighter weight. This means that the "T" cut top plate is not designed to be lightweight, and instead, it may be heavier compared to other types of top plates.
17.
What type of terminals do all Kicker woofers have?
Correct Answer
B. Spring loaded
Explanation
All Kicker woofers have spring-loaded terminals. These terminals are designed to securely hold the speaker wire in place, ensuring a reliable connection.
