Hooking up the supplied wires to your Kicker KS-Series Coax Speakers is easy. One end of
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
speaker. The other end of these wires connects to your source unit or amplifier with the four
(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. These connections can also be made with solder and heat shrink or
electrical tape to prevent electrical shorting of the speakers. See Figure 4.

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

during the warranty period, Kicker will repair or replace (at its discretion) the defective merchandise with equivalent
merchandise at no charge. Warranty replacements may have cosmetic scratches and blemishes. Discontinued
products may be replaced with more current equivalent products.
This warranty is valid only for the original purchaser and is not extended to owners of the product subsequent to the
original purchaser. Any applicable implied warranties are limited in duration to a period of the express warranty as
provided herein beginning with the date of the original purchase at retail, and no warranties, whether express or
implied, shall apply to this product thereafter. Some states do not allow limitations on implied warranties; therefore
these exclusions may not apply to you. This warranty gives you specific legal rights; however you may have other
rights that vary from state to state.
WHAT TO DO IF YOU NEED WARRANTY OR SERVICE
Defective merchandise should be returned to your local Authorized Stillwater Designs (Kicker) Dealer for warranty
Designs directly. You can confirm that a dealer is authorized by asking to see a current authorized dealer window

The RMA number must be clearly marked on the outside of the package. Please return only defective components.
The return of functioning items increases your return freight charges. Non-defective items will be returned freight-
collect to you.
Include a copy of the original receipt with the purchase date clearly visible, and a "proof-of-purchase" statement listing
the Customer's name, Dealer's name and invoice number, and product purchased. Warranty expiration on items
without proof-of-purchase will be determined from the type of sale and manufacturing date code. Freight must be
