DS Component System
Pro Tip: You’re a Kicker amplifi er and a few cables away from a full system upgrade that will dominate
any factory system! Kicker line of amplifi ers make it easy to upgrade to solid bass with your existing or
stock source unit. Also, ask your dealer about the Kicker Subwoofer upgrades.
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.
