After determining the location for your KS-Series Subwoofer Enclosure by trial fit-
ting, find the best placement for the mounting brackets. Each bracket must be posi-
tioned so that the rounded end protrudes from under the cabinets firmly to the vehi-
cle.
See diagram below. In a truck application the KS-Series Enclosure can mount with
the flat side towards the back of the cab to allow room for two brackets on the top
edge and one bracket on each end.
If the enclosed brackets are not applicable to your installation, some other means
must be utilized to secure the speakers to the vehicle.
For optimum sound quality the KICKER KS-Series Enclosure should be used with
some form of low pass crossover. This can be a passive crossover or an electronic
crossover used before a dedicated subwoofer amplifier. We recommend using a KX
Series amplifier with a fully variable subwoofer crossover built-in.
When wiring the Substations to your amplifier, connect the positive output from
one channel to the red input terminal of one speaker, then connect the negative out-
put from that channel to the black input terminal of the speaker. Repeat this proce-
dure for the other Substation.
The wiring configuration can vary depending on the Impedance capability of your
source. For wiring suggestions other than those described above, please consult the
manufacturer of your amplifier.
