Introduction KS-Series System Components Owner’s Manual Models: KS65.2 / KS6.2 / KS5.2 Attention: Please record your purchase information in the area below. We recommend attaching the original sales receipt to this manual for future reference. If you require service on this speaker during the warranty period, you will need to provide this information and a copy of the original sales receipt to Kicker for validation of warranty repairs.
CIMP™ (Curvilinear Injection-Molded Polypropylene Woofer Cones) is a high performance composite, which remains rigid, minimizes cone flex and lowers harmonic distortion. The CIMP™ consists of a one-piece, injection-molded polypropylene material that moves as a piston, exhibiting power and control. New Enhanced BAM (Basket and Motor) Assembly utilizes a high strength steel basket, features a low-profile open design, and provides a solid foundation for the precision-aligned motor assembly.

Installation Installation Your Kicker KS-Series System Component drivers 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 correct size driver in a factory speaker location.
Installation Installation If custom door mounting locations for the KS-Series System Components are desired, be careful to avoid interference from the window and door lock mechanisms. The first step is to find a location on the door panel that will accept the dimensions of the speaker. Then remove the door panel from the door, and check for operational clearance of the window. Cycle the window all the way down and up. If metal must be cut to mount the speakers, avoid structural metal and braces.
Installation Installation Tweeter Mounting The tweeter can be mounted one of four ways: flush, surface, angled and coaxial mounting. For flush mounting applications, please refer to the illustration in Figure 3. Mount the tweeter as high up on the door and as far forward as possible without interference from the dashboard. Choose a flat location on the door with space behind the panel to allow room for the mounting nut. After checking the clearances, cut a 2” (5.1 cm) hole in the door panel.
Installation Installation Tweeter Mounting continued The tweeter can be mounted in the center of the midrange. This creates a high quality coaxial speaker. Remove the tweeter face plate by screwing it off and install the supplied smaller face plate. Then install the tweeter back plate by securing the supplied phillips-head machine screw to the plate, as outlined in Step 1, in Figure 4. Unscrew the bullet shaped phase plug from the center of the midrange, Step 2.
Installation Wiring Options There are three sets of wires supplied with the Kicker KS-Series System Components. One set has two different size female connectors .205” (5.2 mm) and .110” (2.8 mm) and is designed to plug on to the terminal of the midrange. The other end of this wire goes to the midrange output on the supplied crossover. The other two sets of wires do not have any connectors on either end.
Installation Wiring Options Wiring two KS-Series System Components to a single channel Modern high performance system components have a lower DC Resistance than what used to be available. The Kicker KS-Series System Components are rated at four ohms and work with any source unit or amplifier designed to operate at a four ohm load.
Kicker warrants this product to be free from defects in material and workmanship under normal use for a period of THREE (3) MONTHS from date of original purchase with receipt.
