Pro Tip: Looking for the next step in audio performance from your QS components? Upgrade to a
KICKER IX or ZX 4-channel amplifi er for each QS component system you have installed to take full
advantage of the QS’s bi-amping capabilities. With a dedicated amplifi er channel for each tweeter and
each midrange driver, you’ll have a more effi cient system that will deliver a clearer soundstage and
an increasingly dramatic dynamic response. In other words, your music will be more expansive and
captivating.

CONFIGURATION
Before mounting and wiring the QS component system, determine which confi guration you will use for the
speakers and crossover.
QS Speaker
Confi gurations
Coaxial great for space-limited applications
Separates optimal sound quality and improved
QS Crossover
Confi gurations
Conventional 2-way easy install | ideal when available
Bi-amplifi ed optimal sound quality; more effi cient
ADVANTAGES CONSIDERATIONS

sonic imaging (with proper tweeter
mounting)
ADVANTAGES CONSIDERATIONS
amplifi er channels are limited
usage of amplifer power
high frequencies may not be as
prominent | tweeter output may
need to be increased at crossover
trickier install | vehicle must have a
good tweeter mounting location
audio fi delity not quite as high as
bi-amplifi ed confi guration
requires at least 4 amplifi er
channels | slightly trickier install

SPEAKER CONFIGURATION
The QS component system comes packaged in a separates confi guration.
To use a coaxial confi guration, see Fig. 1 and follow these steps:
Unscrew and remove the aluminum phase plug from the center of the woofer.1.
Screw the coaxial mounting adapter into the woofer in place of the phase plug.2.
Screw the tweeter into the tweeter post.3.
Thread the tweeter’s lead wires through the center of the woofer.4.
Snap the tweeter post onto the coaxial mounting adapter.5.
Rotate the tweeter clockwise for the most appealing position.6.
Secure the tweeter’s lead wires using the clip on the underside of the woofer.7.

CROSSOVER CONFIGURATION
The KICKER QS crossover can be confi gured as a conventional 2-way crossover by installing the
included INPUT jumper into the - MID + -TW + input terminals as shown in Fig. 2. In this confi guration,
the amplifi ed signal from your source unit or amplifi er should be wired to the + and - terminals indicated on
the INPUT jumper.
The QS crossover can also be confi gured for bi-amp wiring by removing (or simply not installing) the
INPUT jumper. To use the bi-amp confi guration, you must connect two amplifi ed signals to each
crossover (you will need at least four amplifi er channels). Install one of the included tweeter outputlevel jumpers (0 dB, +3 dB, or +6 dB) to adjust the tweeter output level. Installing jumpers with higher
numbers will result in more volume from the tweeter.
