INSTALLATION

Wiring: Carefully place the speaker wire in a location that is clear of standing water and moving components of the boat. The terminal cover is removable for wiring installation and, when locked in place, it aids in ignition protection. Connect the speaker wire to the speaker terminals. Loop the positive and negative wires into the pocket in the cover, then together and through the slot.

Infinite Baffle Mounting: The finiteto baffle mounting method effectively utilizes the storage space of most boats. Use caution when mounting speakers through any panel of the boat. Please be aware of wiring harnesses, springs, hinges, and folding seat mechanisms that may interfere with the operation of the boat or speaker system. Mark the panel for the hole cut-out diameter of the subwoofer and cut the hole.

Sealed Enclosures: The KM subwoofer generates more sound pressure than competing marine subwoofer on the market and excels when used in sealed boxes. These sealed enclosure designs give the smoothest response with increased energy at the lowest frequencies, 20 to 40Hz , delivering massive amounts of highly-accurate bass.

KM subwoofoers perform well in any size sealed enclosure between the minimum and maximum volume recommendations. These systems will exhibit benefits of both designs: Smaller enclosures will produce light punchy bass, while the larger enclosures will deliver extended low-frequency performance.

These enclosure recommendations have been calculated with the airspace inside the enclosure and include the displacement of the woofer.

More Box Building Notes: Use 3/4" (1.9cm) or thicker Marine Grade Plywood and seal the joints with silicone. Use the "template" inside your KM subwoofer's shipping carton to mark the mounting hole, then cut directly on the line. These designs need internal bracing. Add triangular bracing between each of the larger unsupported panels.

Pro Tip: You are one KXM Amplifier and a few cables away from a complete, high-quality system with rock-solid bottom end as only available from KICKER! Please ask your dealer about KICKER KXM amplifier upgrades.

All of the cubic feet (L) measurements in this manual include the displacement of the woofer. For the vented enclosures the displacement of the port must be calculated and added to the internal volume of the final design. Use the outer dimensions of the port and multiply "X x Y x Z", convert to cubic feet, for example the KMW10 vented compact design's external port dimensions are, using 3/4'' (1.9cm) Marine Grade Plywood: [1.5'' + 1.5'' total wall thickness) x (10.5'' + 1.5'' total MDF wall thickness) x 14.5''] x (1ft^2 / 1728in^2) = .30ft^2 , and add this number to the internal volume of the enclosure, KMW10's 1.25ft^2 + .30ft^2 = 1.55ft^3 . Due to the necessary length of these ports, you may want to fold the port along the bottom and back walls. It will be impractical to use round ports for these designs.

Do not install a port opening against a solid surface, such as an internal brace, back-panel or structural wall, seat or interior panel of your boat. The port opening must remain unobstructed. Use the smallest dimension of the rectangular port as the minimum amount of space between the port opening and any solid surface to insure unrestricted airflow.

The displacement of the port must be calculated and added to the internal volume of the final design. The dimensions for X, Y, and Z may vary based on the thickness of the material used to make the port.

LED Wiring: When hard-wiring the RGB lighting, the black lead is +12V and the red, green, and blue leads are ground. There are seven colors available, depending on your wiring configuration. KICKER recommends using the KMLC lighting controller (sold separately) for more colors, patterns, and special effects.

Color Combinations: Splice and combine the ground wires to yield a different color.

Note: KICKER Marine speakers meet or exceed industry standards for environmental humidity and corrosion, and for material degradation due to UV exposure. All specifications and performance figures are subject to change.

Please visit www.kicker.com for the most current information. To get the best performance from your new KICKER Supwooer, we recommend using genuine KICKER Accessories and Wiring. Please allow two weeks of break-in time for the subwoofer to reach optimum performance. The use of a subsonic filter will significantly increase the power handling. The power handling specifications in these charts are calculated using a 25dB, 24dB per octave subsonic filter.

Warranty replacements may have cosmetic scratches and blemishes. Discontinued products may be replaced with more current equivalent products. This warranty is valid only for the original purchaser and is not extended to owners of the product subsequent to the original purchaser. Any applicable implied warranties are limited in duration to a period of the express warranty as provided herein beginning with the date of the original purchase at retail, and no warranties, whether express or implied, shall apply to this product. Where applicable, Some clauses do not allow limitations on implied warranties; therefore, these exclusions may not apply to you.

WHAT TO DO IF YOU NEED WARRANTY OR SERVICE:

Defective merchandise should be returned to your local Authorized Stillwater Designs (KICKER) Dealer for warranty service.

INTERNATIONAL WARRANTY

Contact your international KOKER dealer or distributor concerning specific procedures for your country's warranty policies.

WARNING: KICKER products are capable of producing sound levels that can permanently damage your hearing. Turning up a system to a level that has a visible distortion is more damaging to your ears than listening to an undistorted system at the same volume low. 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.

You are entitled to a repurchase or refund for a major failure and/or compensation for any other reasonably foreseeable loss or damage. You are also entitled to have the goods repaired or replaced if the goods fail to be of acceptable quality and the failure does not amount up to a major fault.
