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. The KICKER KM coaxial speakers are specifi cally designed for 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.
LOCATION
The sound produced by the KM coaxials is directional. Find the best location for stereophonic sound. If
necessary, add more KM coaxial speakers to the system to help distribute and balance the sound-stage.
After determining the best mounting locations, carefully check the areas where the mounting hardware will
be placed.

INSTALLATION

Mounting: Make sure the stainless steel mounting screws and U-type speed clips will not puncture the
fuel cell, wiring, or interfere with any mechanical parts on the underside of the mounting surface. Pre-drill
the mounting 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. If the supplied hardware is not
applicable to your installation, some other means of securely attaching the speakers to the vessel must be
used.
Wiring: Carefully place the speaker wire in a location that is clear of standing water and moving
components of the vessel. For reference, the Blue wire is Positive and the Grey wire is Negative. The
locking terminal cover with water resistant gasket is removable for wiring installation; it helps prevent
terminal corrosion and electrical shorting. Connect the gold plated male quick disconnect on the end of
the 18 inch (46cm) speaker wire lead coming out of the sealed speaker basket to the gold plated female
quick disconnect on the supplied 15 feet (4.5m) of wire to the same color of wire. Place the connected
wires into the locking terminal, make sure the divider separates the blue and silver wire quick disconnects,
