The KM component system speakers were specially designed for "Livin' Loud" out in the harsh marine
environment. They are magnetically shielded and use advanced materials and construction techniques
to maintain optimal performance for years to come. The KICKER KM component system speakers are
specifi cally designed for mounting in free-air applications, and 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 component system is directional, particularly for the tweeter's sonic
output. Find the best location for stereophonic sound. If necessary, add more KM component systems
or KM coaxial speakers (KICKER KM6200) 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.
INSTALLATION
Woofer 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. Use the woofer "template" inside your KM component system speaker's shipping carton to mark
the woofer mounting hole, then cut directly on the line. Pre-drill the mounting screw holes using a 7/64"
(2.5mm) bit, and attach the KM component system woofer to the boat, by fastening the supplied stainless
steel course-threaded screws to the boat's structure. If applicable, utilize the enclosed stainless steel
U-type speed clips. Mount the speaker and grille right side-up to take advantage of the KM component
woofer's integrated moisture draining system. The Grilles are removable for custom painting applications.
If the supplied hardware is not applicable to your installation, some other means of securely attaching the
speakers to the vessel must be used.
