Your KM coaxials 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 coaxial speakers
are specifically 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. See Figure 1.
Location
The sound produced by the KM
coaxials is directional. Find the
best location for stereophonic
sound. If necessary, add more
KM coaxial speakers 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.
See Figure 2.

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 “template” inside your
KM coaxial speaker’s shipping
carton to mark the 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 coaxial speakers 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 coaxial
system’s integrated moisture
draining system.
See Figure 3.
If the supplied hardware is not
applicable to your installation,
some other means of securely
attaching the speakers to the
vessel must be used.
