Your KICKER drivers are specifically designed for mounting In free-air applications. While
the speakers don’t need a sealed box to work in, for optimum performance it IS important
to isolate the sound coming off the front of the driver from the sound radiant-g from the
back of the driver. This rsolatlon IS usually accomplished by using the correct size driver in a
factory speaker location.
Mounting
If custom door mounbng locations are desired for your drivers, be careful to avoid
interference from wtndow and door lock mechanisms. The first step IS to find a location on
the door panel that will accept the size of speaker chosen. Then remove the door panel
from the door, and check for the operation of the window all the way up and down.
If metal must be cut to mount the speakers, try to avoid structural metal and braces.
On models with grills included, mount as Indicated in the folIowIng diagram. There IS a sup-
ply of butyl rubber adhesive included to help hold the grill on the ring.

If factory door speaker wiring
IS
not available to tie into, it
IS
necessary to run the sup-
plied wire through the door Jamb. This wire should be kept away from sharp edges and the
possibility of getting pinched. An existing boot In the door Jamb IS the ideal place to run
the wires, but sometimes this does not exist or IS inaccessible. Drilling holes to run wires
through IS very tricky, and caution must be exercised not to drill into other wlnng or mech-
anisms. Any time a wire IS run through a bare hole, it IS necessary to insert a rubber grom-
met first to protect the wire.
