Our take on the Kicker KS13

Add some sizzle to your sound system with Kicker tweeters. KS13 tweeters feature film domes with neodymium magnets to produce smooth highs with outstanding fidelity. Felt damping plugs behind the tweeters improve their response for crystal-clear sound. Install a set of the KS13s, and you'll enjoy improved stereo imaging, clarity, and focus when you're listening to your favorite tunes.

Each tweeter comes equipped with an outboard crossover network so their output will blend with the rest of your system. Kicker builds these tweeters tough, with rugged voice coils, ferro-fluid cooling, and optical protection circuits, so they'll handle plenty of power.

Features

1/2" PEN Semi-dome Tweeters: The 1/2" PEN semi-dome tweeters provide a smooth high frequency response with quick, detailed and spatially-correct imaging. PEN is an acronym for the space age material "biaxially oriented polypropylene naphthalate film."

Felt Damping Plugs: The felt damping plug behind each tweeter diaphragm dissipates standing waves and improves the transient response of the driver.

Ferro-Fluid Cooled Tweeter Voice Coils: Each tweeter voice coil is fluid cooled for greater durability.

Voice Coil Formers: The high-temp polyimide film voice coil formers improve sonic and conductive properties, and prevents thermal electrical meltdown.

Tweeter Mounting Options: The tweeters may be flush mounted with or without the supplied angle rings. The tweeters may also be surface mounted using the supplied surface-mount cups.

  Surface Mount Flush Mount (without angle rings) Flush Mount (with angle rings)
Mounting Depth 0.655" (screw depth) 0.863" 0.863"
Mounting Height 0.872" 0.265" 0.574"
Cutout Diameter N/A 1.579" 1.579"
Frame Diameter 1.965" 1.962" 1.975"

In-line Passive Crossovers: Each crossover features a 12 dB/octave, 4.5 kHz high-pass filter for the tweeters.

Crossover Dimensions: L=3.985", W=2.304", H=1.119"

Kicker tweeters really "Kick"

Written By Bud, Honolulu, HI on Sunday, January 28, 2007
 
I was very impressed with these tweeters. I installed them on my friend's Ram Charger and they really improve the imagaging in a very large interior. (RAM Chargers are huge inside) The crossovers fit very nicely inside the side bulkheads (hidden) and the tweeters are surface mounted to the bulkheads. Looks like the truck came with the tweeters factory installed. Bottom Line: Very nice set of tweeters and I would highly recommend them to anyone.
