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. An optional reinforcing panel (thin piece of wood or Medium Density Fiberboard) may be necessary if the door panel cannot support the weight of the speaker. Mount the speaker to the door panel and door body as outlined in Figure 1.

If the factory door speaker wiring is not available, it will be necessary to run the supplied wire through the door jamb. The speaker wire should be kept away from sharp edges and avoid the possibility of getting pinched by the door. An existing grommet in the door jamb is the ideal place to run the speaker wire. If the factory hole and grommet do not exist or are inaccessible, you must drill a hole to run the speaker wire through the door jam. Be careful not to drill into other wiring or existing door mechanisms. Any time a wire is run through a hole, it is necessary to insert a rubber or plastic grommet to protect the wire from damage as outlined in Figure 2.

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.
