TweeterMounting  
Figure 5  
Tweeter Flange  
The tweeter can be mounted one of four ways: flush, surface, angled, and coaxial mounting.  
For flush mounting applications, please refer to the illustration in Figure 5. Choose a flat  
location on the panel with space behind the panel to allow room for the mounting nut and  
motor structure. After checking the clearances, cut a 1 15/16” (4.9 cm) diameter mounting  
hole in the panel. Position the shorter mounting nut behind the panel. Use the longer  
mounting nut if the panels thickness prohibits the use of the shorter mounting nut. Feed the  
wire through the optional tweeter flange, the hole in the panel, and the mounting nut. Mount  
the tweeter by screwing the mounting nut onto the tweeter.

For surface mounting applications use the surface mount cup as a template and pre-drill  
one 7/64” (2.5mm) screw hole for attaching the surface mount cup to the panel, and a  
5/16” (8mm) hole for the wires. A M3 pan-cross head wood screw is supplied to attach the  
surface mount cup to the panel. Position the tweeter over the surface mount cup and press  
it into position. See Figure 6.  
Figure 6  
For angled mounting applications choose a flat location on the panel with space behind the  
panel to allow room for the longer mounting nut and back angle ring. After checking the  
clearances, cut a 1 15/16” (4.9 cm) diameter mounting hole in the panel. Place the front  
angle ring (does not fit through the longer tweeter mounting nut) in front of the panel. Then  
place the wire and tweeter through the tweeter flange, front angle ring, and into the panel.  
Next place the wire through the back angle ring (fits through the longer mounting nut), place  
the back angle ring over the rear of the tweeter, and line-up the narrow part of the front  
angle ring for the preferred angle of operation. Place the wire through the longer mounting  
nut and loosely tighten the mounting nut around the tweeter. Rotate all the parts in unison  
until the tweeter is angled in the desired direction. Secure the assembly by tightening the  
longer mounting nut. See Figure 7.

The KS-Series Component system can also be mounted coaxially by attaching the tweeter  
to the center of the midrange. For coaxial mounting, unscrew and remove the phase plug  
from the center of the KS midrange driver. Next, run the tweeter wires through the mounting  
post into the center of the midrange driver and out of the back plate hole. Connect the  
tweeter assembly to the mounting post and screw the mounting post into the center of the  
midrange driver. After the tweeter has been secured to the midrange, route the wiring  
through the wire groove on the back plate of the midrange and attach the tweeter wires to  
the wire tab with the included cable tie. See Figure 8.

Speakers is easy. Mount the external crossover in  
a location free and clear of water and mechanical  
components of the vehicle with the enclosed  
phillips-head wood screws. One end of each wire  
is terminated with a large and a small connector.  
The larger connector is crimped to the gray wire  
and connects to the larger positive terminal of the  
speaker. The smaller connector is crimped to the  
black wire and connects to the smaller negative  
terminal of the speaker. The other end of these  
wires must be stripped and connected to the  
external crossovers output terminals. Then,  
connect the external crossovers input terminals to  
the source unit or amplifier in accordance with its  
owners manual.

AcousticsLimitedWarranty  
Kicker warrants this product to be free from defects in material and workmanship under normal use for a period of  
THREE (3) MONTHS from date of original purchase with receipt. When purchased from an Authorized KICKER Dealer  
it is warranted for ONE (1) YEAR from date of original purchase with receipt. 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 at no charge. Warranty replacements may have cosmetic scratches and blemishes. Discontinued  
products may be replaced with more current equivalent products.  
Modern high performance component system speakers have a lower DC Resistance than  
what used to be available. The Kicker KS-Series component system speakers are rated at  
four ohms and work with any source unit or amplifier designed to operate at a four ohm  
load. If you want to use two KS-Series component system speakers (two midrange/woofers  
and two tweeters) on each channel of your source unit or amplifier wire the crossovers in  
series, as shown below. This will improve the sound quality, lower the total harmonic  
distortion and lessen the thermal load at the source unit or amplifier. This may prevent an  
amplifier from shutting down, due to over-current protection circuitry. See Figure 9.  
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 specific legal rights; however you may have other  
rights that vary from state to state.

If it becomes necessary for you to return defective merchandise directly to Stillwater Designs (Kicker), call the Kicker  
Customer Service Department at (405) 624-8510 for a Return Merchandise Authorization (RMA) number. Package all  
defective items in the original container or in a package that will prevent shipping damage, and return to:

The RMA number must be clearly marked on the outside of the package. Please return only defective components.  
The return of functioning items increases your return freight charges. Non-defective items will be returned freight-  
collect to you.  
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.

HOW LONG WILL IT TAKE?  
Kicker strives to maintain a goal of 24-hour service for all acoustics (subwoofers, midrange and coaxial 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 (405) 624-8510.  
Pro Tip: You are one Kicker Loaded-Subwoofer enclosure, one ZX Mono-Amplifier and a few cables  
away from a slammin’ system! The Kicker ZX line of mono-amplifiers make it easy to upgrade to solid  
bass with your existing or stock source unit. Please ask your dealer about the Kicker Comp and  
CompVR Subwoofer upgrades.
