Angle Mounting the Tweeter

TWEETER MOUNTING

The tweeter can be mounted one of three ways: fl ush, angled, and coaxial mounting. For fl ush mounting applications, see Fig. 4. Choose a fl at location on the panel with space behind the panel to allow room for the mounting nut, motor structure, and tweeter post. After checking the clearances, cut a 1-13/16” (46mm) diameter mounting hole in the panel. Position the mounting nut behind the panel. Feed the wire through the optional fl ush ring, the hole in the panel, and the mounting nut. Mount the tweeter by screwing the mounting nut onto the tweeter.

For angled mounting applications choose a fl at location on the panel with space behind the panel to allow room for the mounting nut, motor structure, tweeter post, and back angle ring. After checking the clearances, cut a 1-13/16” (46mm) diameter mounting hole in the panel. Place the front angle ring in front of the panel. Then place the wire and tweeter through the front angle ring and into the panel. Next, place the wire through the back angle ring, place the back angle ring over the rear of the tweeter, and line-up the narrow part of the front angle ring for the preferred angle of operation. Place the wire through the mounting nut and loosely tighten the mounting nut around the tweeter. Rotate all the parts in unison until the tweeter is angled in the desired direction. Secure the assembly by tightening the mounting nut. See Fig. 5.

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.
