Your KM component system speakers 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.

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

The sound produced by the KM component system is directional, particularly for the tweeter’s sonic

output. Find the best location for stereophonic sound. If necessary, add more KM component systems or KM coaxial speakers (Kicker KM620) 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.

KM component system woofer 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

integrated moisture draining

system. The Grilles are removable

for custom painting applications.

If the supplied hardware is not

applicable to your installation,

some other means of securely

attaching the speakers to the

vessel must be used.
