Features
CIMP
(Curvilinear Injection-Molded Polypropylene
Woofer Cones) is a high performance composite, which
remains rigid, minimizes cone flex and lowers harmonic
distortion. The CIMP consists of a one-piece,
injection-molded polypropylene material that moves as a
piston, exhibiting power and control.
New Enhanced BAM (Basket and Motor) Assembly
utilizes a high strength steel basket, features a low-profile open
design, and provides a solid foundation for the
precision-aligned motor assembly.
New Santoprene
Surround Radius allows extended
cone excursion for additional bass output and higher SPL.
Santoprene is the next generation of surround material.
It offers unmatched acoustical dampening and UV protection,
and gives the KS-Series Coax cone maximum EXmax
(effective excursion) potential.
Flexible Mounting of the KS40 (utilizes breakaway tabs),
the KS60 (fits small and large 6 inch / 15.2 cm openings), and
the KS68 (fits factory 5” x 7” / 12.7 cm x 17.8 cm and
6” x 8” / 15.2 cm x 20.3 cm locations), enable the KS-Series
Coax Speakers to accommodate most installations.
High-Power Tinsel Lead Wires eliminate broken leads and
power loss, due to the common use of “insufficient-gauge” lead
wires.
PEN
Dome Tweeter with Neodymium Magnet
provides a smooth high frequency response with quick, detailed
and spatially-correct imaging for the KS35, KS40, KS410 and
KS46. PEN is an acronym for the space age material
“biaxially oriented polypropylene naphthalate film”--your
parents’ tax dollars probably paid for its development, you
might as well enjoy it.
New 20mm Titanium Dome Tweeters with extended
High Frequency Response enable the KS525, KS60,
KS65, KS68 and KS693 coaxial speakers to respond to the
most demanding sound tracks up to 21 kHz.
Optimized 25mm Titanium Dome Tweeters with
expanded Frequency Response empower the KS69
coaxial speakers to reproduce the most life-like crescendos up
to 21,000 Hz!
High-Temp Polyimide Film Voice Coil Former
improves sonic and conductive properties, and prevents
thermal-electrical meltdown.
Ferro-Fluid
cooled tweeter voice-coil extends the high
frequency transducer’s life span.
Kicker Marine Ready models come with water resistant
mounting hardware. This enables the KS60, KS69 and KS693
to replace most stock boat speakers without rusting your ship.
