locations for KM Coaxial Speaker Mounting

Mounted in the Bow

Your KM coaxials 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.

Application

The Kicker KM coaxial speakers

are specifically designed forFigure 1 mounting in free-air 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 speaker location, or in a location with a semi-isolated rear chamber. See Figure 1.

screw holes using a 7/64” (2.5mm) bit, and attach the KM coaxial speakers 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 coaxial system’s integrated moisture draining system.

See Figure 3.

If the supplied hardware is not applicable to your installation, some other means of securely attaching the speakers to the vessel must be used.
