Manual
Your 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.
APPLICATION
The Kicker KM component system speakers are specifi cally designed for mounting in free-air applications.
The speakers 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.
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.
