Installation Instructions

Your KICKER drivers are specifically designed for mounting in free-air applica-

tions. While the speakers do not need a sealed box 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 to avoid cancellations. This is possi­ble when mounting on the side panel of the boat. For subwoofers, the storage
bins beneath the seats act like enclosures to keep the backwave from reaching
the front side of the driver. In any mounting situation, check for interference
from other mechanical systems in the boat. Make sure, if you use a panel that is
part of a storage bin, the speaker will not be damaged by the contents.

COAX MOUNTING

The first step is to find a location on the boat panel that will accept the size of
speaker chosen. If there was not a speaker already there you will need to cut a
hole. Check to make sure that there is enough mounting depth for the speaker
before cutting any holes.

Enclosure Instructions

Mounting the KM10 subwoofer will take a little more time than the KM60
speaker. You must locate a panel that has a sufficient enough airspace behind it
to allow the subwoofer to work. This will most likely be under a seat or in the
foot area just below the driver’s seat. If using a storage bin, make sure it seals up
good and tight. If you do not find an appropriate spot you will need to construct
a box.
