Wiring
Your Midbass driver has two spring loaded terminals. The red terminal is con-
nected to the positive wire and the black terminal is connected to the negative
wire from the source unit or amplifier. Since your midbass drivers have a limited
frequency range it is recommended to use a bandpass crossover. Use either a
passive unit to connect into an existing system or for higher performance, an
electronic crossover and a dedicated amplifier.
Kicker recommends using the RMB series midbass drivers in conjunction with
the Resolution Series or Kicker Series Components. This will create a seamless
sound stage.

KICKER drivers are capable of producing sound levels that can permanently
damage your hearing! Turning up a system to a level that has audible distor-
tion is more damaging to your ears than listening to an undistorted system at
the same volume level. The threshold of pain is always an indicator that the
sound level is too loud and may permanently damage your hearing.
Please use common sense when controlling volume!
