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.

Infi nite Baffl e Mounting: The infi nite baffl e 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
B
more sound pressure than competing marine
subwoofers 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 subwoofers perform well in any size sealed
C
enclosure between the minimum and maximum
volume recommendations. These systems will
exhibit benefi ts of both designs: Smaller enclosures
will produce tight punchy bass, while the larger
A
enclosures will deliver extended low-frequency
performance.
Storage Space
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 Amplifi er 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 amplifi er 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 fi nal 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 (1 ft
volume of the enclosure, KMW10’s 1.25 ft
3
/ 1728 in3 ) = .30 ft3, and add this number to the internal
3
+ .30 ft3 = 1.55 ft3. 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 airfl ow.

The displacement of the port must be calculated and added to the internal volume of the fi nal 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 confi guration.
KICKER recommends using the KMLC lighting controller (sold separately) for more colors, patterns,
and special effects.

Note: KICKER Marine speakers meet or exceed industry standards for environmental humidity and corrosion, and for
material degradation due to UV exposure. All specifi cations and performance fi gures are subject to change.
Please visit www.kicker.com for the most current information. To get the best performance from your new KICKER
Subwoofer, 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 fi lter will signifi cantly increase the power handling.
The power handling specifi cations in these charts are calculated using a 25Hz, 24dB per octave subsonic fi lter.
