Pro Tip: Looking for the next step in audio performance from your RS components? Upgrade to a

KICKER IX or ZX 4-channel ampliﬁer for each RS component system you have installed to take full

advantage of the RS’s bi-amping capabilities. With a dedicated ampliﬁer channel for each tweeter and

each midrange driver, you’ll have a more efﬁcient system that will deliver a clearer soundstage and

an increasingly dramatic dynamic response. In other words, your music will be more expansive and

captivating.

CONFIGURATION

Before mounting and wiring the RS component system, determine which conﬁguration you will use for the

speakers and crossover.

RS Speaker

Conﬁgurations ADVANTAGES CONSIDERATIONS

Coaxial great for space-limited applications

or when separate tweeter mounting

is not possible

high frequencies may not be as

prominent | tweeter output may

need to be increased at crossover

Separates optimal sound quality and improved

sonic imaging (with proper tweeter

mounting)

trickier install | vehicle must have a

good tweeter mounting location

RS Crossover

Conﬁgurations ADVANTAGES CONSIDERATIONS

Conventional 2-way easy install | ideal when available

ampliﬁer channels are limited

audio ﬁdelity not quite as high as

bi-ampliﬁed conﬁguration

Bi-ampliﬁed optimal sound quality; more efﬁcient

usage of amplifer power

requires at least 4 ampliﬁer

channels | slightly trickier install

SPEAKER CONFIGURATION

The RS component system comes packaged in a separates conﬁguration.

To use a coaxial conﬁguration, see Fig. 1 and follow these steps:

Unscrew and remove the plastic phase plug from the center of the woofer.1.

Remove the rubber boot.2.

Screw the coaxial mounting post into the woofer in place of the phase plug.3.

Thread the tweeter’s lead wires through the center of the woofer.4.

Snap the tweeter onto the coaxial mounting post.5.

Rotate the tweeter for the most appealing position.6.

Run the tweeter’s lead wires through the groove in the woofer’s backplate.7.

Reattach the boot.8.

CROSSOVER CONFIGURATION

The KICKER RS crossover can be conﬁgured as a conventional 2-way crossover by installing the included

INPUT jumper into the - MID + -TW + input terminals as shown in Fig. 2. In this conﬁguration, the

ampliﬁed signal from your source unit or ampliﬁer should be wired to the + and - terminals indicated on the

INPUT jumper.

The RS crossover can also be conﬁgured for bi-amp wiring by removing (or simply not installing) the

INPUT jumper. To use the bi-amp conﬁguration, you must connect two ampliﬁed signals to each

crossover (you will need at least four ampliﬁer channels). Set the tweeter output-level switch to 0 dB, +3

dB, or +6 dB. Higher switch settings will result in more volume from the tweeter.

WIRING

We recommend using 16 gauge (or larger) wire. The RS components are rated at 4 ohms and work with

any source unit or ampliﬁer designed to operate at a 4 ohm load. Make sure your source unit or

ampliﬁer is rated for 4 ohm operation.

WOOFER MOUNTING

The KICKER RS components are designed for free-air applications and do not require a sealed enclosure

for optimum performance. It is important to isolate the sound coming from the front of the speaker from

the sound radiating from the back of the speaker. This is most easily accomplished by mounting the

speakers in a vehicle’s factory locations or in a location with a semi-isolated rear chamber (like the rear

deck of a car behind the rear seats).

If you are replacing factory speakers in their original locations, you may have to enlarge the speaker

cut-outs and pre-drill new screw holes using a 7/64” (2.5mm) bit. Custom mounting locations will require

more preparation and work. Make sure that the speaker will not interfere with trunk and door opening and

closing mechanisms and that the enclosed screws will not puncture the fuel tank, puncture wiring, or

interfere with any other mechanical parts on the underside of the mounting surface. Cycle the windows all

the way down and up.

If the speaker cut-out locations require you to cut metal, avoid structural metal and braces. If the door

body and panel cannot support the weight of the speaker, an optional reinforcing ring (thin piece of wood

or Medium Density Fiberboard) may be fastened or adhered to the door body. Mount the speaker to the

vehicle as outlined in Fig. 3.

TWEETER MOUNTING

The tweeter can be mounted one of four ways: ﬂush, angled, surface, and coaxial mounting. For ﬂush

mounting applications, see Fig. 4. Choose a ﬂat location on the panel with space behind the panel to

allow room for the short mounting nut, motor structure, and tweeter. After checking the clearances, cut

a 1-3/4” (44mm) diameter mounting hole in the panel. Position the short mounting nut behind the panel.

Feed the wire through the optional ﬂush ring, the hole in the panel, and the mounting nut. Mount the

tweeter by screwing the mounting nut onto the tweeter.

For angled mounting applications choose a ﬂat location on the panel with space behind the panel to allow

room for the long mounting nut, motor structure, tweeter post, and back angle ring. After checking the

clearances, cut a 1-3/4” (44mm) diameter mounting hole in the panel. Place the front angle ring in front

of the panel. Then place the wire and tweeter through the front angle ring and into the panel. Next, place

the wire through the back angle ring, place the back angle ring over the rear of the tweeter, and line-up

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.

the narrow part of the front angle ring for the preferred angle of operation. Place the wire through the long

mounting nut and loosely tighten the mounting nut around the tweeter. Rotate all the parts in unison until

the tweeter is angled in the desired direction. Secure the assembly by tightening the mounting nut. See

Fig. 5.

For surface mounting applications use the surface mount cup as a template and pre-drill one 7/64”

(2.5mm) screw hole (using two holes is optional) for attaching the surface mount cup to the panel and

a 5/16” (8mm) hole for the wires. An M3 pan-cross head wood screw is supplied to attach the surface

mount cup to the panel. Position the tweeter over the surface mount cup and screw it into position. See

Fig. 6.
