CROSSOVER MOUNTING

Mount the crossover in a location that is easy to access for wiring and tweeter output level adjustment. Make sure that the crossover will not be exposed to water. The bottom of the car door is not a good location. If you must mount the crossover in the car door, exercise caution as water can accumulate in the bottom of the door. Keep the crossover high in the door and shielded from water.

If factory speaker wiring is not available in your desired location, it may be necessary to run speaker 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 jamb. 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.

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.
