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 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. This isolation is usually accomplished by using the driver in a factory speaker location, or in a location with a semi-isolated rear chamber. See Figure 1.

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 KM620) 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. See Figure 2.

WooferMounting

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 coursethreaded 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. See Figure 3.

If the supplied hardware is not applicable to your installation, some other means of securely attaching the speakers to the vessel must be used.
