speaker wire through the door jamb. Be careful not
to drill into other wiring or existing door mechanisms.
Any time a wire is run through a hole, it is necessary
to insert a rubber or plastic grommet to protect the
wire from damage.
Speaker Mounting
The KICKER KS Speakers 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).
If you are replacing factory speakers in their original
locations, you may need to use the included multi-
purpose adapter, or modify it as such that it 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.
If the speaker cut-out locations require you to cut
metal, avoid structural metal and braces. If the
door body and panel cannot support the weight of
the speaker, an optional reinforcing ring (thin piece
of wood or Medium Density Fiberboard) may be
fastened or adhered to the door body.
