WOOFER MOUNTING
The KICKER QS coaxials are designed for free-air applications and do not require a sealed enclosure for
optimum performance. It is important to isolate the sound coming from the front of the speaker from the
sound radiating from the back of the speaker. This is most easily accomplished by mounting the speakers
in a vehicle's factory locations or in a location with a semi-isolated rear chamber (like the rear deck of a car
behind the rear seats). Do not install in the rear deck if you have a subwoofer in the trunk.
If you are replacing factory speakers in their original locations, you may need to use one of the three
included adapters, a combination of them, or modify them as such that they will fit your required screw
patterns. You may also need to enlarge the speaker cut-outs and pre-drill new screw holes using a 7/64"
(2.5mm) bit. Custom mounting locations will require more preparation and work. Make sure that the
speaker will not interfere with trunk and door opening and closing mechanisms and that the enclosed
screws will not puncture the fuel tank, puncture wiring, or interfere with any other mechanical parts on the
underside of the mounting surface. Cycle the windows all the way down and up.
