The provided documentation details a wide range of Kicker products, including speakers, subwoofers, amplifiers, remote controls, and complete stereo systems. The materials consist primarily of owner’s manuals, installation instructions, and quick start guides. This article summarizes the available information regarding installation procedures, component identification, and product specifications as outlined in these documents. The documentation covers products intended for car audio, marine applications, and general consumer use.
Speaker Installation Procedures
Kicker provides specific guidance for mounting various speaker types. The KSS speaker installation process begins with preparing the speaker harness and reviewing the wiring section of the accompanying documentation [1, 2]. Mounting templates are sometimes included to aid in custom installations, but caution is advised when drilling to avoid damaging underlying vehicle components [2]. When using mounting adapters, users may need to remove impeding tabs, and foam dampers can be used to ensure a secure fit [2]. For KSS6704 installations with adapters, the inner centering tabs should be removed [2]. The documentation emphasizes the importance of disconnecting the vehicle’s power source before making any wire connections [2]. Fastening the speaker to the adapter utilizes supplied screws [2].
Wiring and Connections
Proper wiring is crucial for optimal performance and safety. Kicker crossovers are included with KSS systems to optimize sound output for tweeters and mid-bass woofers. These crossovers are pre-terminated and labeled for plug-and-play connectivity with corresponding speakers [2]. When making connections, the positive lead is identified by gray insulation, while the negative lead features gray and black insulation [2]. All terminal connections should be covered with the clear cover to prevent short circuits [2]. Crossover inputs connect to the head unit or amplifier outputs using supplied butt connectors [2].
