WOOFER MOUNTING
The KICKER QSS 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. Mount the
speaker to the vehicle as outlined in Fig. 3.
