INSTALLATION
Wiring: Carefully place the speaker wire in a location that is clear of standing water and moving
components of the boat. The terminal cover is removable for wiring installation and, when locked
in place, it aids in ignition protection. Connect the speaker wire to the speaker terminals. Loop the
positive and negative wires into the pocket in the cover, then together and through the slot.

IMPORTANT SAFETY WARNING
PROLONGED CONTINUOUS OPERATION OF AN AMPLIFIER, SPEAKER,
OR SUBWOOFER IN A DISTORTED, CLIPPED OR OVER-POWERED
MANNER CAN CAUSE YOUR AUDIO SYSTEM TO OVERHEAT, POSSIBLY
CATCHING FIRE AND RESULTING IN SERIOUS DAMAGE TO YOUR
COMPONENTS AND/OR VEHICLE. AMPLIFIERS REQUIRE UP TO 4
INCHES (10CM) OPEN VENTILATION. SUBWOOFERS SHOULD BE
MOUNTED WITH AT LEAST 1 INCH (2.5CM) CLEARANCE BETWEEN
THE FRONT OF THE SPEAKER AND ANY SURFACE.

Free Air Mounting: The Free-Air subwoofers (KMF10, KMF12) do not require an enclosure,
however, it is important to isolate the sound coming off the front of the driver from the sound
radiating from the back of the driver. This isolation is usually accomplished by using the driver in a
factory speaker location, or in a location with a semi-isolated rear chamber.
Infinite Baffle Mounting: The infinite baffle mounting method
effectively utilizes the storage space of most boats. Use caution
when mounting speakers through any panel of the boat. Please
be aware of wiring harnesses, springs, hinges, and folding seat
mechanisms that may interfere with the operation of the boat or
speaker system. Mark the panel for the hole cut-out diameter of the
subwoofer and cut the hole.

Storage Space
Sealed Enclosures: KM subwoofers perform
well in any size sealed enclosure between the
minimum and maximum volume recommendations.
These systems will exhibit benefits of both designs:
Smaller enclosures will produce tight punchy bass,
while the larger enclosures will deliver extended
low-frequency performance.
These enclosure recommendations have been
calculated with the airspace inside the enclosure
and include the displacement of the woofer.
Pro Tip: You are one KXM Amplifier and a few cables away from a complete, high-quality system
with rock-solid bottom end as only available from KICKER! Please ask your dealer about KICKER
KXM amplifier upgrades.

More Box Building Notes: Use 3/4” (1.9cm) or thicker
Marine Grade Plywood and seal the joints with silicone. Use the
“template” inside your KM subwoofer’s shipping carton to mark
the mounting hole, then cut directly on the line. These designs
need internal bracing. Add triangular bracing between each of
the larger unsupported panels.
All of the cubic feet (L) measurements in this manual include the
displacement of the woofer.
For the vented enclosures the displacement of the
port must be calculated and added to the internal
volume of the final design. Use the outer dimensions
of the port and multiply “X x Y x Z”, convert to cubic
feet, for example the KM10 vented minimum design’s
external port dimensions are, using 3/4” (1.9cm)
Marine Grade Plywood:
[ (1.5” + 1.5” total wall thickness) x (10.5” + 1.5” total
MDF wall thickness) x 14.5”] x (1 ft3/ 1728 in3) = .30
ft3, and add this number to the internal volume of the
enclosure, KM10’s 1.25 ft3+ .30 ft3= 1.55 ft3.

Due to the necessary length of these ports, you may want to fold the port along the bottom and
back walls. It will be impractical to use round ports for these designs. The displacement of the port
must be calculated and added to the internal volume of the final design.
The dimensions for X, Y, and Z may vary based on the thickness of the material used to make the
port. Do not install a port opening against a solid surface, such as an internal brace, back-panel or
structural wall, seat or interior panel of your boat. The port opening must remain unobstructed. Use
the smallest dimension of the rectangular port as the minimum amount of space between the port
opening and any solid surface to insure unrestricted airflow.
LED Grille (sold separately) Wiring: When hard-wiring the RGB lighting, the black lead is +12V
and the red, green, and blue leads are ground. There are seven colors available, depending on
your wiring configuration. KICKER recommends using the KMLC lighting controller (sold separately)
for more colors, patterns, and special effects.
