Owner's Manual
With carpet
in
it's correct factory
position, place a pod on the wheel-well
and find the sweet spot
by
moving
it
around slightly, but
don't
screw
it
in place yet
..
. just get a feel
for
exactly where
it
goes.
With
the
tape used
as
a marker still on
the
carpet, make a small slit
about
an
inch past
the
tape
so
the
wire
will poke
through
under
the pod when
it
's installed.
Run
your
speaker
wire
from
your
radio
or
amplifier
under
the
carpet and up through slit
so
about
a
foot
or
wire exits. The wire should
only
be under
the
pod in
that
tiny
area and should
be
away
from
the pod
after
that
so
you get
the
best fit.
Repeat process
for
the
other
pod.
#120998-K65: speed clips
are not used
for
speakers.
Just screw
into
the
plastic.
#120998
& #120998-K65: Center speaker in
hole and get any logos in desired position.
Hold speaker
firmly
in desired position and use
drill
with
Phillips
bit
to
screw speaker in place.
Repeat process
for
other
pod.
We
don't
pre-drill wire lead holes
so
you
can
put them where you want them.
But a good place
is
the
underside
of
each pod (image
2)
so
there will
be
no
visible wires once installed.
With
a pod in place, little pieces
of
tape on the
pod and the carpet
can
act
as
markers. Remove
the
pod, then
use
a 7
/16"
paddle bit and drill
out
the hole about
an
inch in from the edge (image
3).
Repeat process in
mirror
image
for
other
pod. Install the rubber grommets.
You
really only get one good shot
at
this,
so
be sure
to
get
the
pod squarely in its'
sweet
spot and
the
carpet in its'
designed, correct position
tool
Pull wire through grommet. Hold pod firmly
with
one hand, drop included self-tap screws
into pre-drilled screw holes
in
bottom
of
pod. ,
Start
with
a drill,
but
consider finishing
them
with
a hand-held 5/16" hex driver. (Metal
is
pretty thin and a zippy drill may be a little
much). Repeat process
for
the
other
pod.
Cut any excess wire
to
minimize
how
much will be inside
the
pod. Connect
your
speaker. #120998-K65
use
the
small lengths
of
wire and red
butt
connectors
that
came
with
your
Kicker
speakers and connect
to
the
speaker
wires in
the
pods, pas+
to
pas+, neg-
to
neg-.
#120998
using
your
own
speakers,
similar wiring likely came
with
your
speakers. Repeat process
for
other
pod.
For #120998-KS and #120998-KSL
with
Kicker subwoofers included:
#120998-KS and
#120998-KSL: subs
have spring loaded
terminals
to
accept
bare copper wire.
(See
l5
1
page
for
wiring)
Procedure: Attach subs
to
pods first, using every
other
hole and
the
included shorter
black screws
(4
per subwoofer). Next,
put
grille back plates with edges up on
top
of
subwoofers (left image), lining up holes
with
the
unused_holes in
the
subwoofers.
Make
sure back plates are truly centered
so
the
rubber
sub
surrounds
won't
touch them on
bass
notes! Attach back plates
with
the
longer black screws (4 per subwoofer). Last,
the
mesh grilles (right image) are pushed on over
top
edges.
