Features

 CIMP

™

(Curvilinear Injection-Molded Polypropylene

Woofer Cones) is a high performance composite, which

remains rigid, minimizes cone flex and lowers harmonic distortion. The CIMP™ consists of a one-piece, injection-molded polypropylene material that moves as a piston, exhibiting power and control.



New Enhanced BAM (Basket and Motor) Assembly

utilizes a high strength steel basket, features a low-profile open design, and provides a solid foundation for the precision-aligned motor assembly.



New Santoprene™Surround Radius allows extended

cone excursion for additional bass output and higher SPL. Santoprene™ is the next generation of surround material. It offers unmatched acoustical dampening and UV protection, and gives the KS-Series System Components cone maximum EXmax™ (effective excursion) potential.



Flexible Mounting of the KS5.2, which includes an 6” x 8”

(15.2 cm x 20.3 cm) mounting adapter, and the KS5.2, KS6.2 and KS65.2, which have coaxial mounts for the tweeters, enable the KS-Series System Components to accommodate most installations.



Newly Designed Passive Crossover Network allows a

seamless transition between the midrange and tweeter drivers.

 High-Power Tinsel Lead Wires eliminate broken leads and

power loss, due to the common use of “insufficient-gauge” lead wires.



Aluminum Dome Tweeter with Neodymium Magnet

provides a smooth high frequency response with quick, detailed and spatially-correct imaging.



Felt Damping Plug behind the Tweeter’s Diaphragm

dissipates standing waves, quickens spectral decay and improves the transient response of the driver.



High-Temp Polyimide Film Voice Coil Former

improves sonic and conductive properties, and prevents thermal-electrical meltdown.



Ferro-Fluid

™

cooled tweeter voice-coil extends the high

frequency transducer’s life span.



Kicker Marine Ready models come with water resistant

mounting hardware. This enables the KS6.2 to replace stock boat speakers without rusting your ship.
