  • Page 5: Installation

    Your Kicker KS-Series System Component drivers are specifically designed for mounting in free-air applications. The speakers do not require a sealed enclosure for optimum performance. It is important to isolate the sound coming off the front of the driver from the sound radiating from the back of the driver.
  • Page 6 If custom door mounting locations for the KS-Series System Components are desired, be careful to avoid interference from the window and door lock mechanisms. The first step is to find a location on the door panel that will accept the dimensions of the speaker.
  • Page 7: Tweeter Mounting

    Tweeter Mounting The tweeter can be mounted one of four ways: flush, surface, angled and coaxial mounting. For flush mounting applications, please refer to the illustration in Figure 3. Mount the tweeter as high up on the door and as far forward as possible without interference from the dashboard.
  • Page 8 Tweeter Mounting continued The tweeter can be mounted in the center of the midrange. This creates a high quality coaxial speaker. Remove the tweeter face plate by screwing it off and install the supplied smaller face plate. Then install the tweeter back plate by securing the supplied phillips-head machine screw to the plate, as outlined in Step 1, in Figure 4.
  • Page 9: Wiring Options

The other end of this wire goes to the midrange output on the supplied crossover.
