Your KM component system speakers were specially designed for “Livin’ Loud” out in the harsh marine
environment. They are magnetically shielded and use advanced materials and construction techniques to
maintain optimal performance for years to come.
APPLICATION
The Kicker KM component system 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 semiisolated rear chamber.
LOCATION
The sound produced by the KM component system is directional, particularly for the tweeter’s sonic
output. Find the best location for stereophonic sound. If necessary, add more KM component systems or
KM coaxial speakers (Kicker KM6200) 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.

Component Speaker Mounting
WOOFER 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. Use the woofer
“template” inside your KM component system speaker’s shipping carton to mark the woofer mounting
hole, then cut directly on the line. Pre-drill the mounting screw holes using a 7/64” (2.5mm) bit, and attach
the KM component system woofer to the boat, by fastening the supplied stainless steel course-threaded
screws to the boat’s structure. If applicable, utilize the enclosed stainless steel U-type speed clips. Mount
the speaker and grille right side-up to take advantage of the KM component woofer’s integrated moisture
draining system. The Grilles are removable for custom painting applications. If the supplied hardware is
not applicable to your installation, some other means of securely attaching the speakers to the vessel
must be used.

TWEETER MOUNTING
The tweeter can be mounted one of three ways: fl ush, surface and angled mounting. For fl ush
mounting applications, choose a fl at location on the panel with space behind the panel to allow room for
the mounting nut. After checking the clearances, cut the appropriate mounting hole diameter in the panel
(see the chart below). Place the shorter mounting nut behind the panel. Feed the wire through the hole in
the panel and the mounting nut. Mount the tweeter by screwing the mounting nut onto the tweeter.

Flush Mounting the Tweeter
For surface mounting applications use the surface mount cup as a template and pre-drill two 7/64”
(2.5mm) screw holes for attaching the mounting cup to the panel, and a 5/16” (8mm) hole for the wires.
Two #8 fl athead stainless steel sheet metal screws are supplied to attach the mounting cup to the panel.
Position the tweeter over the mounting cup and press it into position.

Surface Mounting the Tweeter
For angled mounting applications choose a fl at location on the panel with space behind the panel to
allow room for the mounting nut and back angle ring. After checking the clearances, cut the appropriate
mounting hole diameter in the panel (see the chart below). Place the front angle ring (does not fi t through
the longer tweeter mounting nut) in front of the panel. Then place the wire and tweeter through the front
angle ring and into the panel. Next place the wire through the back angle ring (fi ts through the longer
tweeter mounting nut), place the back angle ring over the rear of the tweeter, and line-up the narrow
part of the front angle ring for the preferred angle of operation. Place the wire through the longer tweeter
mounting nut and loosely tighten the mounting nut around the tweeter. Rotate all the parts in unison until
the tweeter is angled in the desired direction. Secure the assembly by tightening the tweeter mounting
nut.

WIRING
Carefully place the speaker wire in a location that is clear of standing water and moving components of
the vessel. For reference, the Blue wire is Positive and the Grey wire is Negative. Mount the crossover to
the woofer’s back plate with the enclosed phillips-head M3 stainless steel machined screws, or mount
the crossover remotely in a location free and clear of standing water. The locking crossover cover with
water resistant gasket is removable for wiring installation; it helps prevent terminal corrosion and electrical
shorting. The positive and negative gold plated terminals are of different sizes and correspond to the
appropriate gold plated positive and negative wire connectors. Take off the crossover cover, and connect
the wire from the woofer to the “WF” terminal and the wire from the tweeter to the “TW” terminal. Connect
the supplied 15 feet (4.5m) of wire to “IN” terminal in the crossover. Carefully route the wires through the
slot between the crossover and crossover cover, and snap the crossover cover back on the crossover.
Connect the other end of the heavy gauge wire to your amplifi er in accordance with its owner’s manual.

Kicker Marine speakers use the highest level of magnetic shielding available to minimize compass and gauge deviation
in your dash. Kicker Marine speakers meet or exceed industry standards for environmental humidity and corrosion,
and for material degradation due to UV exposure.

Su KM sistemas de componentes se diseñó para “Livin’ Loud” en el ambiente marino duro. Se
protege magnéticamente y utiliza las técnicas avanzadas de materias y construcción para mantener el
desempeño que óptimo para años para venir.
APLICACIÓN
Sus sistemas de componentes de la serie KM de KICKER han sido diseñados específi camente para
montarlos en aplicaciones al aire libre. A pesar de que los altavoces no necesitan una caja sellada para
un rendimiento óptimo, es importante separar el sonido radiado por delante del sonido radiado por detrás
del altavoz. Esta separación se logra normalmente usando un excitador de tamaño correcto en un lugar
preestablecido de fábrica para el altavoz.
POSISITON
El sonido producido por los altavoces Componente del KM es direccional, especialmente para la
producción sónica de altavoz. Encuentre el mejor posisition para el sonido estereofónico. Si necesario,
agrega más altavoces Componente o Coax (Kicker KM6200) del KM al sistema para ayudar a distribuir y
equilibrar la sano-etapa. Después que determinar el mejor posistions que monta, verifi ca con cuidado las
áreas donde el hardware que monta irá.
