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.

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.
