FEATURES

A MAD SPEAKER TO FIT EVERY NEED
There’s nothing better than replacing that old dusty wannabe speaker that’s been hiding behind your door panel. Did your old speakers break ‘cause they couldn’t handle your level of LOUD? The K2 series 2-way component kit is ready for you. Be proud, be loud, be MAD!

For crisp and clear highs, we’ve included a 256mm silk dome tweeter with a Neodymium magnet. Place the tweeter wherever you want – it’s your call!

SWEDISH DESIGN, MAD SENSIBILITIES
The 25mm KSV voice coil is wound with lightweight CCAW (Copper Clad Aluminum Wire) that creates a dynamic sound, and the woofer surround is made out of resistant soft butyl. Since the Swedish weather encompasses all different seasons – the K2 series is designed to withstand them all. Hot, cold, UV rays – it doesn’t matter. It’s MAD and it’s made to play LOUD, no matter the circumstances!

OPTIMIZED FOR GREAT SOUND
We took our sound obsession one step further, and a good component kit demands a good crossover. The crossover design for the tweeter is a 12db high pass filter with selectable level settings (high or low) and features a high quality capacitor and air core inductor. The K2 series woofer uses a 6 db low pass filter and air core inductor. All together it will keep down the distortion level for each component and optimize your new speakers within their limits. Now you can go as loud as you want, the way it was meant to be!

HOW TO

INSTALL COMPONENT KIT
Before installing your brand new component kit, make sure that you have everything you need. Have the right tools ready, and make sure that you have the necessary knowledge/skill to perform the installation properly. Preparation and knowledge is crucial!

The component kit includes three parts: the midrange woofers, the tweeters and the crossovers. The crossover should be wired before the midrange woofer and the tweeter, it makes sure that the woofer and tweeter plays on the right part of the LOUD spectrum.

SPEAKER & TWEETER PLACEMENT
Now that you know how to connect your component kit, you need to decide where to put it. You will most likely have one or two possible locations to put the speakers and tweeters depending on make and model. This is where the fun begins!

1. FRONT DOORS
   The front right and left doors are typical positions for woofer placement! In some models you’ll find original speakers in the kickpanel – right in front of the doors in the foot well.

2. BACK DOORS
   Some car models out there have a 2-way system in the back. If your car’s on the more luxurious side of the spectrum, you might find a component kit in both the front and rear.

A) DASH
The tweeter is usually placed here. Do you see a small grill around the left and right end of the dash? Awesome! Put your new tweeter here. If your car’s a bit older, you might not have atweeter in your dash.
No worries! Use the ANGLED SURFACE MOUNTING and you’re good.

B) A-pillar
In some cars, the tweeter is located in the A-pillar. Lucky you! This is a great location to put atweeter, since it’s placed higher up and directly aimed at your ears. Place the tweeter with the ANGLED SURFACE MOUNTING and enjoy great sound!

TWEETER MOUNTING OPTIONS
With the K2 series component kit we’ve included three different types of housing for the tweeters, so you can choose the tweeter location most suitable for your ride and its sound system.

FLUSH MOUNTING

SURFACE MOUNTING

ANGLED SURFACE MOUNTING

Depending on the location, the housing might vary. If you want to change your OEM tweeters, use the FLUSH MOUNTING. Do you intend to put the K2 series tweeter on your dash? Great! Make sure to use the ANGLED SURFACE MOUNTING. The SURFACE MOUNTING has different exciting possibilities. Be creative. Make sure to aim the tweeters, so the sound reaches your head/ears for great results!

CROSSOVER LEVEL FUNCTION

The crossover included with the K2 series is made to give you an awesome sound experience that plays LOUD! The kit includes crossover cables with female flat pin connectors for easy installation.

0n the crossover you can adjust the tweeter level setting between high or low tweeter level to affect the volume. This can be useful when the tweeters are installed on the dashboard orin the A-pillars. The switch is placed on the side of the crossover. Choose the low setting for LOUD, or the high setting for LOUDER!

TROUBLESHOOTING

NO POWER/SOUND
Check the speakers to make sure they’re not damaged. If your speakers don’t get any power, the most common issue is either in the wiring or in the amplifier. Use a multimeter to measure the amplifier’s voltage on the +12V terminal and the remote signal terminal. Use a multimeter to make sure that you have a negative ground connection. Check the built-in fuse (if there’s one) on the amplifier. If there’s no power coming through – control the fuse on the power cable. If it’s intact – make a full check of the wiring to ensure cable integrity.

Check all the speakers connected to your sound system. Check all the speaker cables and all the signal cables. Check your head unit to make sure no settings are limiting the amplifier’s functions or the speakers. When all of the above has been tested/looked over, and all is as it should be but there’s still no sound, consult your local GAS AUDIO POWER dealer/installer.

UNWANTED NOISE
Start by looking over the speakers in the sound system so there is no damage or connection issue with the wiring. Make sure that your signal cables or speaker cables aren’t too close to the power cables. Check your amplifier’s grounding point and make sure that the surface is clean. When all of the above has been tested/looked over, and the unwanted noise does not vanish, consult your local GAS AUDIO POWER dealer/installer.

DISTORTION

Start by looking over the speakers in the sound system so there’s no damage or connection issue with the wiring. Check the speaker cables to make sure that the polarity isn’t reversed on one channel. Check the settings on the amplifier, make sure that the gain/level is set according to the amplifier’s instructions. If your amplifier has a boost function, turn it down or turn it off.
