Coaxial Speakers 2014 KM Coax Rev d.indd 12014 KM Coax Rev d.indd 1 11/22/2013 11:44:25 AM11/22/2013 11:44:25 AM2 The KICKER KM coaxial speakers are specifi cally 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. This isolation is usually accomplished by using the driver in a factory speaker location, or in a location with a semi-isolated rear chamber. SPECIFICATIONS Authorized KICKER Dealer: Purchase Date: Speaker Model Number: LOCATION The sound produced by the KM coaxials is directional. Find the best location for stereophonic sound. If necessary, add more KM coaxial speakers to the system to help distribute and balance the sound-stage. After determining the best mounting locations, carefully check the areas where the mounting hardware will be placed.

Loops for mounting with Zip Ties Locking Terminal Cover Wire Divider Possible locations for KM Coaxial Speaker Mounting Mounted in the Bow Mounted Mid-Ship Stern Mounted INSTALLATION Mounting: Make sure the stainless steel mounting screws and U-type speed clips will not puncture the fuel cell, wiring, or interfere with any mechanical parts on the underside of the mounting surface. Pre-drill the mounting screw holes using a 7/64” (2.5mm) bit, and attach the KM coaxial speakers to the boat by fastening the supplied stainless steel coarse-threaded screws to the boat’s structure. If applicable, use the enclosed stainless steel U-type speed clips. If the supplied hardware is not applicable to your installation, some other means of securely attaching the speakers to the boat must be used. Wiring: Carefully place the speaker wire in a location that is clear of standing water and moving components of the boat. For reference, the Blue wire is Positive and the Grey wire is Negative. The locking terminal cover with water resistant gasket is removable for wiring installation; it helps prevent terminal corrosion and electrical shorting. Connect the gold-plated male quick-disconnect on the end of the 18 inch (46cm) speaker wire leads coming out of the sealed speaker basket to the wires from your amplifi er or source unit. Place the connected wires into the locking terminal, making sure the divider separates the blue and silver wire quick disconnects, and snap the locking terminal cover into place. Connect the other end of the wire to your amplifi er in accordance with its owner’s manual. Mount the locking terminal cover in a location free and clear of standing water by utilizing the supplied zip ties through the integrated loops in the locking terminal cover. 2014 KM Coax Rev d.indd 32014 KM Coax Rev d.indd 3 11/22/2013 11:44:33 AM11/22/2013 11:44:33 AM4 Note: KICKER Marine speakers meet or exceed industry standards for environmental humidity and corrosion, and for material degradation due to UV exposure.
