Speaker Installation: Tweeters are first, pick a method…
You need to pick a mounting configuration
(flush mount or angled). Shown here are
the Kicker tweeter, trim ring, and shorter mounting
nut needed for a flush mount scenario.
A flush mount would have
the trim ring up against the
tweeter and the ‘nut end’
of the shorter mounting nut
placed against pod from inside.
Tighten tweeter into place
by turning the nut from inside.
An angled mount of the
Kicker tweeter requires you
to slightly widen the hole
(using a rotary tool with a
sanding drum works) so that
the threaded section of the
longer mounting nut can pass
through the hole as shown.
Consult Kicker instructions for
sequence of tweeter pieces.
It can take a little time to get
things angled the way you
want and secured.
Flush or angled, you’ll want the tweeter logo
positioned at about the angle seen here
(driver side pod) for final install. (Mirror image
position for passenger pod.)
Next - If installing crossovers outside of the pods…
1
With tweeter installed, pull its’
wires through the grommet hole
(no grommet installed in hole yet).
Push grommet over the tweeter’s wires.
2
3
Then push the labeled ‘Mid’ wires through
the grommet in the opposite direction. It’s
a tight fit but that minimizes air escaping
the pod.
4
Insert grommet w/ wires into hole in pod. Push through from
outside while pulling grommet from inside and you’ll be able to get it
through and inserted properly as shown. Keep only enough
wire inside the pod to connect to the woofer and tweeter.
Here’s where you may want to use a glue gun or wax, etc. to fill any
gaps around the wires so air can’t escape the pod. Not absolutely
necessary, but if you get a whistling sound, this is likely why.
