INSTALLATION
Step 1: Determine the location and placement of the KMTC cans onto the pipe or tube to which you are
mount1ng. Spreading the KMTC Loaded Marine Cans apart will provide better stereo performance, and is
usually preferable.
When determining the best locations for mounting, be careful to look for obstacles or
obstructions that could complicate mounting the KMTC. Please keep in mind the routing of your speaker
wires
as this can affect where you finally mount your cans. You will need to mark and drill a wire routing
hole
in the pipe 5/8" (16mm) in diameter. The placement of the hole must line up w1th the final position
of the lower mounting bracket
so that the wiring com1ng from the lower mounting bracket can be run
through; ie the hole should
be 90° from the direction the speakers will be aimed and in line with the w1ring
comng from the lower mount1ng bracket. If the speakers will be level with the horizon, you should drill a
hole directly in the bottom
of the tube.

3: The mounting hardware design provides versatility in angular
posit1on1ng
to
direct the speaker's
output
to
the ideal
listen1ng
position using the quick adjust swivel lever. With the lower mounting bracket in
place, install the swivel clamp and tightly secure it using the included swivel bolt, making sure the clamp
engages with the groove in the swivel base.

Step 4: Partially install the swivel lever, adjusting it to be loose (open) when the lever is paral lel to the
tube,
then finish tightly securing the swivel lever to the enclosure using the included thumbscrew. When
the
swivel lever is locked in place, or closed, the bracket rotation assembly will be clamped tight.

Step 5: Extend the speaker and LED wiring through the hole you have drilled and connect them to your
source unit or
amplifier. KICKER recommends you solder the connections and secure them with heat
shrink.
When hard-wiring the RGB lighting, the black lead is+ 12V and the red, green, and blue leads are
ground. Splice and combine tt1e ground wires to yield a different color. There are seven colors ava il able,
depending on your wiring configuration.
KICKER recommends using the KMLC lighting controller (sold
separately) for more colors, pattems, and special effects.

6:
Secure the enclosure
to
the tower tube with the upperand lower mounting brackets. With the
wwing clearance hole you drilled and the

shroud on the lower mounting bracket lined up, pos1tion
the enclosure assembly
so
that
it
is tightly against the tower tube.
Once
1n
position, install the upper
mounting bracket using the included stainless steel socket-head
cap
screws. You will need to choose
the appropriate length fastener based
on
the size
of
the tower tube
to
which you're mounting. Ensure the
enclosure is secure
by
increasing the tension
of
the swivel lever thumbscrew attached
to
the
sw
ivel lever.
With the enclosure securely mounted, you may finish
by
opening the swivel lever and swiveling the
assembly left or right. When you are satisfied with the orientation, close the swivel lever
to
lockthe
enclosure in place.
If
the enclosure is not locked tightly enough, tighten the thumbscrew.

INTERNATIONAL WARRANTY
Contact your International KICKER dealer or distributor concerning specific procedures for your country's warranty policies.
Our goods come with guarantees that cannot be excluded under the Australian Consumer Law. You are entitled to a
replacement or refund for a major failure and for compensation for any other reasonably foreseeable loss or damage. You
are also entitled
to have the goods repaired or replaced if the goods fail to be of acceptable quality and the failure does
not amount to a major failure.
WARNING: KICKER products are capable of producing sound levels that can permanently damage your hearingI 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.
