If you have any questions about the installation of your KICKER KMT60 enclosure speakers, see the Authorized
KICKER Dealer where you made your purchase. Please E-mail support@kicker.com or call Technical Services at
(405) 624-8583 for specifi c or unanswered questions.
Wiring: If pre-existing speaker wiring is not available in your desired mounting location, it may be necessary to
run the wire through the wakeboarding tower or roll bar on your vehicle. The speaker wire should be kept away
from sharp edges to avoid the possibility of getting pinched by moving mechanisms and be out of the way of all
passengers and party-goers. If you must drill a hole to run the speaker wire through any location, be careful not
to drill into other wiring or existing 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. Check your local building codes for the necessary
procedures and precautions for running low voltage wiring in your home or indoor skatepark.
Once the speaker wiring job is fi nished, plug the speaker wires securely into the positive (red dot on the speaker
connector) and negative (black dot on the speaker connector) fi ve-way speaker terminals on the top-rear area
of the KMT60 long-range tower system enclosure. Maintain proper polarity between all KMT60 speakers. Most
speaker wires are marked with a solid or dashed line on one of the two speaker wires. Use this solid or dashed
line as the positive polarity throughout the entire speaker system. The other end of these wires connect to your
source unit or amplifi er in a similar manner, observing proper polarity.
Modern high performance speakers have a lower working Impedance than what used to be available. The
KICKER KMT60 speakers are rated at four ohms and work with any source unit or amplifi er designed to operate
at a four ohm load. If you want to use two KMT60 speakers on each channel of your source unit or amplifi er
wire the speakers in series. This will improve the sound quality, lower the total harmonic distortion and lessen
the thermal load at the source unit or amplifi er, as it will be an eight ohm load. This may prevent an amplifi er from
shutting down due to over-current protection circuitry.
