Features
Multipurpose Brackets: In addition to fitting standard 6x9 applications, Kicker includes a pair of mounting brackets to install the woofers in several vehicle-specific applications. Please enter your vehicle information to confirm fit.
Spacers: The included 6x9 spacers can be used to adjust the woofers' depth when top or bottom mounting. The adjusted measurements become:
- Top Mount:
- Depth: 2.744"
- Height: 0.429"
- Bottom Mount:
- Depth: 3.293"
- Tweeter Protrusion: 0.0"
Tweeter Mounting Options: The tweeters include brackets to allow multiple mounting configurations; flush-mount, angle-mount, and surface-mount. The surface mount pods are mounted to a threaded, hollow shaft and have a ball-and-socket joint, so they can be turned in any direction, and angled to approximately 40˚.
Tweeter Dimensions:
| Flush | Angle | Surface | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Mounting Height | 0.25" | 0.625" | 3.15" |
| Mounting Depth | 0.6" | 0.65" | 0.75" |
| Frame Diameter | 2.045" | 2.1" | 2.3" x 1.9" |
| Cutout Diameter | 1.662" | 1.787" | 0.475" |
Coaxial Tweeter Mount: In addition to standard tweeter mounting options, the included tweeter mounting posts let you mount the tweeters directly to the center of the woofers, giving you a standard coaxial speaker. The tweeter can be angled up to 12° when coaxially mounted. When the tweeter is attached to the woofer the mounting height increases to 0.597" (top mount) and the tweeter protrusion increases to 0.37" (bottom mount).
Crossovers: The component system includes 12 dB/octave passive crossovers for the tweeters. (Both the woofers and tweeters are wired through the crossovers, but only the tweeters are filtered.) The crossover point is 4,000 Hz. A switch on each crossover allows you to adjust the tweeter output; 0 dB, +4.5 dB, or +9 dB. Each crossover has input and output wires are attached; the 34" woofer outputs have quick slides that connect directly to the woofer terminals and the 32" tweeter outputs have quick slides that mate to the terminals on the wire attached to the tweeters. The 34" input wires are not terminated. The crossovers' dimensions are:
- Length: 4"
- Width: 2⅞"
- Height: 1⅛"
The Kicker KSS690 replaces these items:
- 1" silk dome tweeter with four mounting options
- handles up to 150 watts RMS (300 watts peak power)
- can be installed as separate components or as 2-way speakers

. The by 9s are getting 65w rms from a CXA360.4 and the tweets are getting 50w rms from a Key 200.4. Crisp, clean, loud highs with a LR HP crossover at 4K. The 6x9s are crossed over at 71 and 314. The mid bass just thumps.
