each wire is terminated with a large and a small connector. The larger connector is crimped to the gray wire and connects to the larger positive terminal of the speaker. The smaller connector is crimped to the black wire and connects to the smaller negative terminal of the

(4)included red butt crimp-down style connectors. The gray wire connects to the positive output of the amplifier or source unit. The black wire connects to the negative output of the amplifier or source unit.

Wiring two KS-Series Coax Speakers to a single channel

Modern high performance coaxial speakers have a lower DC Resistance than what used to be available. The Kicker KS-Series Coax Speakers 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 Coax Speakers on each channel of your source unit or amplifier wire the speakers in series, as shown above. 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.

Note: All specifications and performance figures are subject to change. Please visit the www.kicker.com for the most current information.

To get the best performance from your new Kicker speakers, we recommend using genuine Kicker Accessories and Wiring.
