QS COAXIAL SYSTEM Owner’s Manual MODELS: QSC67 / QSC69 Authorized KICKER Dealer: Purchase Date: Speaker Serial Number: Fits most applications. For the latest application list, visit www.kicker.com/ WARNING: KICKER products are capable of producing sound levels that can permanently damage your hearing! Turning up a system to a level that has audible distortion is more damaging to your ears than listening to an undistorted system at the same volume level.
CROSSOVER CONFIGURATION Before mounting and wiring the QS coaxial system, determine which configuration you will use for the speakers and crossovers.
WIRING We recommend using 18 gauge (or larger) wire. The QS coaxials are rated at 4 ohms and work with any source unit or amplifier designed to operate at a 4 ohm load. Make sure your source unit or amplifier is rated for 4 ohm operation.
Crossover in bi-amp configuration Two channels per coaxial set • At least four amplifier channels are needed for stereo operation (only two channels are shown) QSC woofer QSC crossover amplifier / source unit (must have at least four channels) Pro Tip: Looking for the next step in audio performance from your QS coaxials? Upgrade to a KICKER IQ or KX 4 or 5-channel amplifier for each QS coaxial system you have installed to take full advantage of the QS’s bi-amping capabilities.
WOOFER MOUNTING The KICKER QS coaxials 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 the speaker cut-out locations require you to cut metal, avoid structural metal and braces. Mount the speaker to the vehicle as outlined below. Use the included foam gaskets to seal and protect the system from moisture, increase pressure, and reduce buzz or rattling. The motor (disc) foam should be placed on the back of the speaker if it is touching the inside of the door panel. The long adapter foam should be wrapped around the adapter in the same manner as the manufacturer.
CROSSOVER MOUNTING Mount the crossover in a location that is easy to access for wiring. Make sure that the crossover will not be exposed to water. The bottom of the car door is not a good location. If you must mount the crossover in the car door, exercise caution as water can accumulate in the bottom of the door. Keep the crossover high in the door and shielded from water. QS crossover.
GRILLE MOUNTING Snap-on grille if desired pry off grille to remove Note: All specifications and performance figures are subject to change. Please visit www.kicker.com for the most current information. To get the best performance from your new KICKER speakers, we recommend using genuine KICKER accessories and wiring. Please allow two weeks of break-in time for the speakers to reach optimum performance.
