2.Screw the coaxial mounting adapter into the woofer in place of the phase plug.

3.Screw the tweeter into the tweeter post.

4.Thread the tweeter’s lead wires through the center of the woofer.

5.Snap the tweeter post onto the coaxial mounting adapter.

6.Rotate the tweeter clockwise for the most appealing position.

7.Secure the tweeter’s lead wires using the clip on the underside of the woofer.

QS65.2, QS60.2 specifications

Kicker has long been recognized for its commitment to delivering high-quality audio products, and the QS60.2 and QS65.2 speakers are no exception. These 6.5-inch and 6x9-inch coaxial speakers are engineered to provide an outstanding listening experience, whether you’re cruising down the highway or parked at a tailgate.

One of the standout features of the QS series is its high sensitivity. With a top sensitivity rating of 92 dB, both the QS60.2 and QS65.2 speakers ensure that users get powerful sound even at lower power levels. This makes them highly efficient and perfect for integration with factory head units or aftermarket amplifiers.

The speakers utilize premium polypropylene woofers, ensuring durability and excellent sound quality. The responsive material provides strong mid-bass performance while also helping to prevent distortion at high volume levels. Coupled with a butyl rubber surround, these speakers are designed to last, resisting wear from prolonged exposure to sun and moisture.

Another notable technology in the QS60.2 and QS65.2 is the innovative zero-diameter tweeter. This tweeter design allows for a wider sound stage, giving listeners a more immersive experience. The silk dome tweeter contributes to smooth high-frequency response while minimizing harshness that can sometimes accompany higher frequencies. This synergy ensures that both vocal clarity and instrumental details are maintained, making for a balanced audio experience.

The QS series speakers feature a mounting depth that provides flexibility in various vehicle applications. The compact design allows for easy installation into many different vehicles, and the included grilles add an extra layer of aesthetic appeal while protecting the drivers.

Kicker has also included their unique Enhanced Bass Reflex (EBR) technology in these speakers. This feature enhances low-frequency performance by optimizing air movement within the speaker enclosure, yielding a richer bass response without compromising on clarity. This makes the QS60.2 and QS65.2 excellent choices for music genres that rely heavily on bass.

In terms of longevity, both models ship with a 1-year warranty, demonstrating Kicker's confidence in the reliability and durability of their products. For car audio enthusiasts seeking a high-performance speaker system that seamlessly combines innovation and design, the Kicker QS60.2 and QS65.2 stand out as exceptional options worthy of consideration.
