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. If you want to use two KS-Series System Components on each channel of your source unit or amplifier wire the system components in series--at the connection between the crossover and source unit or amplifier, as shown below in Figure 6. This will improve the sound quality, lower the total harmonic distortion and lessen the thermal load at the source unit or amplifier. This may prevent an amplifier from shutting down, due to over-current protection circuitry.

KS5.2, KS6.2, KS65.2 specifications

The Kicker KS series speakers, specifically the KS65.2, KS5.2, and KS6.2 models, represent a significant step forward in the realm of high-performance car audio systems. Designed with attention to detail and engineered for high-quality sound reproduction, these speakers cater to audio enthusiasts seeking an immersive listening experience while on the road.

The KS65.2 model features a 6.5-inch component speaker system that delivers a powerful and dynamic soundstage. The speakers are equipped with a polypropylene woofer cone that ensures durability and longevity while providing excellent low-frequency response. The silk dome tweeters produce clear, crisp highs, allowing for an expansive sound at any volume. These speakers also feature a unique EVC (Extended Voice Coil) technology, which increases power handling and efficiency, resulting in better sound quality and greater volume.

Moving to the KS5.2, this model focuses on providing a compact yet robust solution for audio lovers. The 5.25-inch woofer is designed to fit a variety of car models without compromising on sound quality. It employs a similar polypropylene cone construction, ensuring resilience and efficiency. The KS5.2 also utilizes a premium silk dome tweeter, which enhances the listening experience by adding bright treble without distortion. The user-friendly design allows for easy installation, making it an ideal choice for those who want to upgrade their factory sound systems.

Lastly, the KS6.2 model builds on the legacy of the KS series with a larger 6.75-inch woofer, bringing a deeper, punchier bass response and a more comprehensive mid-range performance. Like its counterparts, the KS6.2 incorporates the EVC technology for superior sound handling capabilities. The tweeter is mounted on an adjustable swivel, allowing for precise placement of sound for an optimal auditory experience regardless of seating position.

Each speaker in the Kicker KS series is designed with a 4-ohm impedance, making them compatible with a wide range of amplifiers. They also come with a robust mounting hardware package and a high-quality crossover to ensure seamless integration of frequencies between the woofer and tweeter.

Kicker's commitment to innovation shines through in these models, providing high-quality audio that meets modern listening demands. Whether you opt for the KS65.2, KS5.2, or KS6.2, each offers superior build quality, advanced technologies, and impressive sound performance that will elevate any driving experience.
