IMPORTANT SAFETY WARNING

Prolonged continuous operation of an amplifi er, speaker, or subwoofer in a distorted, clipped or over­powered manner can cause your audio system to overheat, possibly catching fi re and resulting in serious
damage to your components and/or vehicle. Amplifi ers require up to 4 inches (10cm) open ventilation.
Subwoofers should be mounted with at least 1 inch (2.5cm) clearance between the front of the speaker and
any surface.

KS COAXIAL SPEAKERS

our use of advanced materials and construction techniques ensures optimal performance for years to
come.

Pro Tip: You’re a KICKER amplifi er and a few cables away from a full system upgrade that will dominate
any factory system! KICKER line of amplifi ers make it easy to upgrade to solid bass with your existing or
stock source unit. Also, ask your dealer about KICKER Subwoofer upgrades.

ACOUSTICS LIMITED WARRANTY

When purchased from an Authorized KICKER Dealer, KICKER warrants this product to be free from defects in material
and workmanship under normal use for a period of ONE (1) YEAR from date of original purchase. If this product is
identifi ed as “Refurbished” or “B Goods”, the warranty is limited to a period of THREE (3) MONTHS from date of original
purchase. In all cases you must have the original receipt. Should service be necessary under this warranty for any reason
due to manufacturing defect or malfunction during the warranty period, KICKER will repair or replace (at its discretion)
the defective merchandise with equivalent merchandise. Warranty replacements may have cosmetic scratches and
blemishes. Discontinued products may be replaced with more current equivalent products. This warranty is valid only for
the original purchaser and is not extended to owners of the product subsequent to the original purchaser. Any applicable
implied warranties are limited in duration to a period of the express warranty as provided herein beginning with the date of
the original purchase at retail, and no warranties, whether express or implied, shall apply to this product thereafter. Some
states do not allow limitations on implied warranties; therefore, these exclusions may not apply to you. This warranty
gives you specifi c legal rights; however you may have other rights that vary from state to state.

WHAT TO DO IF YOU NEED WARRANTY OR SERVICE:

Defective merchandise should be returned to your local Authorized Stillwater Designs (KICKER) Dealer for warranty
service. Assistance in locating an Authorized Dealer can be found at www.kicker.com or by contacting Stillwater Designs
directly. You can confi rm that a dealer is authorized by asking to see a current authorized dealer window decal.

If it becomes necessary for you to return defective merchandise directly to Stillwater Designs (KICKER), call the KICKER
Customer Service Department at [phone] for a Return Merchandise Authorization (RMA) number. Package only
the defective items in a package that will prevent shipping damage, and return to:

Stillwater Designs, 3100 North Husband St, Stillwater, OK 74075

The RMA number must be clearly marked on the outside of the package. Please return only defective component
systems. The return of functioning items increases your return freight charges. Non-defective items will be returned
freightcollect to you. For example, if a subwoofer is defective, only return the defective subwoofer, not the entire
enclosure. Include a copy of the original receipt with the purchase date clearly visible, and a “proof-of-purchase”
statement listing the Customer’s name, Dealer’s name and invoice number, and product purchased. Warranty expiration
on items without proof-of-purchase will be determined from the type of sale and manufacturing date code. Freight must
be prepaid; items sent freight-collect, or COD, will be refused.

WHAT IS NOT COVERED?

This warranty is valid only if the product is used for the purpose for which it was designed. It does not cover:
o Damage due to improper installation
o Subsequent damage to other components
o Damage caused by exposure to moisture, excessive heat, chemical cleaners, and/or UV radiation
o Damage through negligence, misuse, accident or abuse. Repeated returns for the same damage may be
considered abuse
o Any cost or expense related to the removal or reinstallation of product
o Speakers damaged due to amplifi er clipping or distortion
o Items previously repaired or modifi ed by any unauthorized repair facility
o Return shipping on non-defective items
o Products with tampered or missing barcode labels
o Products with tampered or missing serial numbers
o Products returned without a Return Merchandise Authorization (RMA) number
o Products purchased from an UNAUTHORIZED dealer
o Freight Damage
o The cost of shipping product to KICKER
o Service performed by anyone other than KICKER

HOW LONG WILL IT TAKE?

KICKER strives to maintain a goal of one-week service for all acoustics (subwoofers, midrange drivers, tweeters,
crossovers, etc) returns. Delays may be incurred if lack of replacement inventory or parts is encountered. Failure to
follow these steps may void your warranty. Any questions can be directed to the KICKER Customer Service Department
at [phone]. Contact your International KICKER dealer or distributor concerning specifi c procedures for your
country’s warranty policies.

Note: 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 speakers, we recommend using genuine KICKER accessories and wiring. Please allow two
weeks of break-in time for the speakers to reach optimum performance.
