INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS Read through these install instructions completely first. If they appear too difficult or if you lack any of the equipment required to finish the job, we strongly recommend that the installation be performed by a professional installer. Resolution System midrange drivers are specifically designed for mounting in freeair applications. While the speakers don't need a sealed box to work in, for optimum performance it is important to isolate the sound coming off the back of the driver from the sound coming off the front of the driver. This isolation is usually accomplished by using the correct size driver in a factory speaker location. Grills are included for use in installations that mount the driver in custom locations. The ideal mounting scheme is to have a sturdy panel to cut out or to reinforce an existing panel with Masonite or medium density Fiberboard. If the panel can flex at all, it will decrease the output of the driver and keep it from sounding it's best. The panel that a midrange is mounted to must isolate the information coming off the back of the driver from the information coming off the front of the driver. Since the Resolution midranges have operating capabilities down to as low as 40Hz, it is important to completely contain the back to avoid cancellations. This is possible when mounting on the door or on the package tray of a sedan. The door and trunk act like enclosu<strong>res</strong> to keep the backwave from reaching the front side of the driver. In any mounting situation, check for interference from other mechanical systems in the vehicle. Watch for window mechanisms, hinges, trunk springs, and anything that would be affected by the installation of these drivers. 2
MIDRANGE DRIVER MOUNTING The easiest mounting location for the Resolution midrange is in the front factory speaker locations. This isn't always available in all vehicles due to small cutouts or no stock cutout at all. If custom door mounting locations are desired for your Resolution midrange, be careful to avoid interference from window and/or lock mechanisms. The first step is to find a location on the door panel that will accept the size of speaker chosen. Now remove the door panel from the door and check for the operation of the window all the way up and down. Also try to avoid structural metal and braces if the metal must be cut to mount the speakers. On custom locations that use the supplied grill, mount them as indicated in the below diagram. A wire grill tool is provided to help you turn and lock the grill into position. Your KICKER Resolution R6c drivers and included grills mount as illustrated in the drawing below. Mount your KICKER Resolution R5c or R4c drivers and included grills as illustrated below. 3
