The
KICKER
KM
coaxial speakers
are
specifically designed for mounting
in
free-air applications. The
speakers do not require a sealed enclosure for optimum performance.
It
is
important to isolate the sound
coming off the front of the driver from the sound radiating from the back of the driver. This isolation
is
usually accomplished by using the driver
in
a factory speaker location, or
in
a location with a semi-isolated
rear chamber.

LOCATION
The sound produced by the
KM
coaxials
is
directional. Find the best location for stereophonic sound.
If
necessary, add more
KM
coaxial speakers to the system to help distribute and balance the sound-stage.
After determining the best mounting locations, carefully check the areas where the mounting hardware
will
be placed.
Pro Tip:
You
are one
KXM
Amplifier 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
amplifier
upgrades.

INSTALLATION
Possible locations for KM
Coaxial Speaker Mounting
Stern
Mounted
Mounting:
Make sure the stainless steel mounting screws and U-type speed clips
will
not puncture the
fuel cell, wiring, or interfere with any mechanical parts on the underside of the mounting surface. Pre-drill
the mounting screw holes using a 7
/64
" (2.5mm) bit, and attach the
KM
coaxial speakers to the boat
by fastening the supplied stainless steel coarse-threaded screws to the boat's structure.
If
applicable,
use the enclosed stainless steel U-type speed clips.
If
the supplied hardware
is
not applicable to your
installation, some other means of securely attaching the speakers to the boat must be used.
Wiring:
Carefully place the speaker wire
in
a location that
is
clear of standing water and moving
components of the boat. For reference, the Blue wire
is
Positive and the Grey wire
is
Negative. The
locking terminal cover with water resistant gasket
is
removable for wiringinstallation;
it
helps prevent
terminal corrosion and electrical shorting. Connect the gold-plated male quick-disconnect
on
the end of
the 18 inch (46cm) speaker wire leads coming out of the sealed speaker basket to the wires from your
amplifier or source unit. Place the connected wires into the locking terminal, making sure the divider
separates the blue and silver wire quick disconnects, and snap the locking terminal cover into place.
Connect the other end of the wire to your amplifier
in
accordance with its owner's manual. Mount the
locking terminal cover
in
a location free and clear of standing water by utilizing the supplied zip ties
through the integrated loops
in
the locking terminal cover.
Mount the speaker and
grille right side-up to take
advantage of the coaxial
system's integrated
moisture draining system.

INTERNATIONAL WARRANTY
Contact your International KICKER dealer or distributor concerning
specific procedures for your country's warranty policies.
WARNING: KICKER products are capable of producing sound levels
that can permanently damage your hearing! Turning up a system to a
level that has audible distortion
is
more damaging to your ears than
listening to
an
undistorted system at the same volume level. The
threshold of pain
is
always
an
indicator that the sound level
is
too loud
and may permanently damage your hearing. Please use common
sense when controlling volume.
