GOIN’ BIG
Hear this? You’ve put too much blood and sweat into your
ride to mess with car stereo that doesn’t ignite a reac-
tion… the reaction from the street, the sidewalk, and the
fellas. You need oversized sound, and you demand audio
gear proven to deliver every time you want the reaction…
every time you cruise down the street. With brutal power
and performance, KICKER audio gets the reaction you

sue. The only thing racking your skull is how much room
you need to throw in everything you want. The biggest bass,
best sounding components, and of course, all the power
you might need to push all your toys is at your fingertips.

STEPPING UP
Carve it in stone – you’re not gonna be that guy, rattling
and shaking your entire ride. But you do want something
that pushes your music… your passion… to a level that
will waste that guy, and still impress even the most ex-
perienced ear. No dB overkill… but not weak like what
came from the factory. KICKER gear supplies the absolute
combination of power and performance for your rolling
personal space.

When you’re working to bust that perfect trick, a little in-
spiration can’t hurt. You look for it from your buddies, and

in car audio excellence, also rules aquatic audio. Look for
KICKER to bring you the best sound in and out of the ma-
rina. From speakers to amps, KICKER delivers the music,

GET IT STARTED
Upgrading from your factory stereo can sometimes be a
bit overwhelming. You don’t want to drop all your lunch
loot on a wicked sound system, but it’s gotta be better
than what’s in mom’s sedan. KICKER delivers dominating,
cutting-edge audio upgrades that probably exceed what
you came looking for. The sound quality and toughness
are the best available for the buck, and the looks are also
bound to turn a few heads. If it’s just a sub, an amp with
it, or all of the above, KICKER will make your first ride the
one that everybody knows.

FITTING IN
You don’t have to shout it, but it’s obvious to the rest of
the world – you’re no follower. It’s a quiet confidence you
live by. You show it with your clothes, what you pick from
the menu, who you hang with… and what you drive. You
won’t see this ride on just any street – it carries the paint
you wanted, just enough performance to be dangerous,
and a raging KICKER system that fits into whatever space
remains. Hey, it doesn’t have to be big to be bad. It just
has to do what you want it to.

KX3 3-Way Active Crossover
Features
•Front/rear high-pass xovers - 18dB/octave, variable frequency 35-400Hz,
20x multiplier option on front xover
•Sub low-pass xover - 18dB/octave, variable frequency 45-250Hz
•Bass Boost variable to +18dB at 40Hz
•Remote Bass level controller
•24dB/octave subsonic filter-defeatable
•Two stereo inputs with parallel input option
•Three stereo outputs - 5Vrms
•Signal-to-Noise Ratio - >110dB
The three-way KX3 lets you dial in extreme sub performance with the low-
pass crossover, subsonic filter, and remote bass boost. Then use the 20x
multiplier on one of the two high-pass crossovers to really make simple work
of routing signals.
// KX2 CROSSOVER //
Model
KX2 2-Way Active Crossover
Features
•High-pass xover - 18dB/octave, variable frequency 40-300Hz
•Low-pass xover - 18dB/octave, variable frequency 40-300Hz
•Low (line level) or high (speaker level) stereo input
•Variable stereo outputs - 5Vrms
•Signal-to-Noise Ratio - >110dB
If a two-way is your way, the KX2 is your unit. Flexible, variable
crossover points, steep 18dB/octave slopes, and high- or low-
level inputs give it plenty of smarts for a simple single low-pass,
single high-pass configuration.

// HYPER-FLEX TECHNOLOGY //
Ground-breaking rope-lay construction and insula-
tion on all KICKER cable and wiring allow you to
bend, twist, and contort it any way imaginable. And
it stays flexible under hot or cold temperature ex-
tremes.

// TACTILE-GRIP DUO-MOLDED CONNECTORS //
KICKER’s the only one with it! These rubberized non-slip connec-
tors fit perfectly between your thumb and forefinger and help you
determine which channel is which solely by touch. The left channel
is smooth, and the right channel has sensory spikes. On four-chan-
nel cables, front cables are round, while the rear ones are square.
Makes installation so easy you could do it blindfolded.
// DIRECT-CONNECT ENGINEERING //
Minimum connections… maximum power! Direct-Connect installa-
tion components in KICKER Power and Complete Power Kits give
you a clean, reliable system with the fewest connections. No con-
fusing additional hardware or wasted installation time! And if your
tunes rely on power from a raucous KICKER amp, all Direct-Connect
components use the same screws as the ones in your amp. Save the
Allen wrench that came with the amp – it works with your kit!
// TWISTED-PAIR TECHNOLOGY //
You can’t totally eliminate noise in your ride… but you can kill it where
it matters most – in your audio and video system! All KICKER signal
cable and wire transfer the clearest audio and video signal possible
by using tightly twisted, silver-tinned, oxygen-free copper conductors,
that virtually eliminate unwanted noise and interference. What you have
is the clearest music and picture on the strip!
