KICKER drivers are capable of producing sound levels that can permanently
damage your hearing! Turning up a system to a level that has audible distor-
tion 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!
