Introduction KS-Series Tweeters Owner’s Manual Models: KS25 / KS20 / KS13 Congratulations! Attention: Please record your purchase information in the area below. We recommend attaching the original sales receipt to this manual for future reference. If you require service on this speaker during the warranty period, you will need to provide this information and a copy of the original sales receipt to Kicker for validation of warranty repairs. ALWAYS KEEP YOUR RECEIPT! 2 You have purchased one of the most advanced separate tweeter and outboard crossover systems in car audio. The KS-Series Tweeters were designed by the award-winning KICKER speaker design team, tested in the judging lanes of International Sound Competitions, and proven on the Street to deliver the ultimate in full-range frequency output, durability and outstandingly-clear SPL. This is your “fuel for Livin’ Loud™”! Authorized Kicker Dealer: _____________________________________________ Purchase Date: _____________________________________________ Speaker Model Number: _____________________________________________ KS-Series Tweeters Newly Designed Passive Crossover Network allows detailed imaging and pin-point sound staging of the critical high frequencies. High-Power Tinsel Lead Wires eliminate broken leads and power loss, due to the common use of “insufficient-gauge” lead wires. Aluminum Dome Tweeter with Neodymium Magnet featured in the KS25 provides a smooth high frequency response with fast, detailed and spatially-correct imaging. Felt Damping Plug behind the Tweeter’s Diaphragm dissipates standing waves, quickens spectral decay and improves the transient response of the driver. Titanium Dome Tweeter with Neodymium Magnet featured in the KS20 provides a polished high frequency response with agile, meticulous and spatially-correct imaging. High-Temp Polyimide Film Voice Coil Former improves sonic and conductive properties, and prevents thermal-electrical meltdown. PEN™ Dome Tweeter with Neodymium Magnet featured in the KS13 provides a silky high frequency response with quick, precise and spatially-correct imaging. PEN is an acronym for the space age material “biaxially oriented polypropylene naphthalate film”--your parents’ tax dollars probably paid for its development, you might as well enjoy it. Ferro-Fluid™ cooled tweeter voice-coil extends the high frequency transducer’s life span. Features Features Note: To get the best performance from your Kicker KS-Series System Components, we recommend using genuine Kicker Accessories and Wiring.

The first step is to find a location on the door panel that will accept the dimensions of the speaker. Then remove the door panel from the door, and check for operational clearance of the window. Cycle the window all the way down and up. If metal must be cut to mount the speakers, avoid structural metal and braces. An optional reinforcing panel (thin piece of wood or Medium Density Fiberboard) may be necessary if the door panel cannot support the mounting of the speaker. Mount the speaker to the door panel and door body as outlined in Figure 1. If the factory door speaker wiring is not available, it will be necessary to run the supplied 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 jam. 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 as outlined in Figure 2. Figure 1 Figure 2 The tweeter can be mounted one of three ways: flush, surface and angled mounting. For flush (Optional) mounting applications, please refer to the illustration in Figure 3 and 4. Mount the tweeter as high up on Door Panel the door and as far forward as possible without interference from the dashboard. Choose a flat location on the door with space behind the panel to allow room for the mounting nut. After checking the clearances, cut the appropriate mounting hole diameter in the door panel. Place the mounting nut behind the door panel. Feed the wire through the door and body panels. Mount the tweeter by screwing the tweeter onto the mounting nut. Stagger Holes For Wiring & Use Grommets (When Factory Holes and Grommets are not Available) To Crossover Kick Panel For surface mounting applications, remove the tweeter face plate by screwing it off and install the supplied smaller face plate. Use the surface mount cup as a template and drill a 7/64” (2.8 mm) hole in the center for attaching the cup to the door and a 5/16” (7.9 mm) hole for the wires. A #8 flathead sheet metal screw is supplied to attach the surface mount cup to the door panel. Position the tweeter over the surface mount cup and press it into position. For angled mounting applications use the back angle ring behind the panel and the front angle ring in front of the panel, and place the tweeter through the front angle ring and then into the panel. Next place the back angle ring over the tweeter and line up the narrow part of the front angle ring for proper operation. Attach the longer tweeter mounting nut but do not completely tighten. Rotate KS-Series Tweeters 5 Installation Installation all the parts in unison until the tweeter is angled in the desired direction. Secure the assembly by tightening the longer tweeter mounting nut, as outlined in Figure 5. Figure 4 Figure 3 Shorter Tweeter Mounting Nut Clearance Hole 2.5" Door Body Mounting Nut Wire Tweeter Door Panel Tweeter Panel 2" Hole Wiring There are two lengths of wires attached to the Kicker KS-Series Tweeter Crossover. One set is labeled “INPUT” and is designed to connect to the source unit or amplifier. The other set is labeled “KSxx TWEETER” and is designed to connect to the tweeter’s length of wires, using the supplied butt connectors. Please see Figure 6.

Box 459 • Stillwater, Oklahoma 74076 • U.S.A. • (405) 624-8510 WARNING: KS-Series Tweeters KICKER drivers are capable of producing sound levels that can permanently damage your hearing! Turning up a system to a level that has audible distortion is more damaging to your ears than listening to an undistorted system at the same volume level. The threshold of pain is always an indicator that the sound level is too loud and may permanently damage your hearing. Please use common sense when controlling volume! 08112005+05KS 7
