PERFORMANCE Model DS6.
Crossover in 2-way configuration | One component set per channel • At least two amplifier channels are needed for stereo operation (only one channel is shown) + + woofer tweeter - Set the tweeter output-level switch to 0 dB, +3 dB, or +6 dB. Higher switch settings will result in more volume from the tweeter.
WOOFER MOUNTING The KICKER DS 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).
TWEETER MOUNTING The tweeter can be mounted one of three ways: flush, angled and surface. For flush mounting applications, see Fig. 4. Choose a flat location on the panel with space behind the panel to allow room for the short mounting nut, motor structure, and tweeter. After checking the clearances, cut a 1-3/4” (44mm) diameter mounting hole in the panel. Position the short mounting nut behind the panel. Feed the wire through the optional flush ring, the hole in the panel, and the mounting nut.
CROSSOVER MOUNTING Mount the crossover in a location that is easy to access for wiring and tweeter output level adjustment. 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.
