Introduction

The legendary Kicker KB6000 has been replaced by the Kicker KB6. The KB6 is suited for a variety of indoor and outdoor applications due to its UV-treated shell and ability to deliver clear sound over extended distances. The iconic Kicker sound is now available for use in a family room, listening room, den, backyard deck, patio, garage, under the eaves, or near the pool, and it still sounds amazing on a boat or RV. The KB6 is a high-efficiency speaker system that can be used both indoors and out, with an 8-Ohm load and the ability to be powered by home audio receivers. RMS power of 75 watts (150 Watts Peak). There is no substitute for displacement! Sound quality and value are legendary. The Kicker KB6 2-Way Atrium Speaker is equipped with a powerful 6.5-inch woofer and a 2×5-inch compression-loaded horn tweeter. For a signature sound, the system acoustically mixes. Your outdoor speaker can be mounted vertically or horizontally, on the wall or ceiling. Attach the rubber feet if you wish to carry the speaker inside and use it as a bookshelf speaker.

HOW TO PROTECT OUTSIDE SPEAKERS

• Keep them out of the sun and away from water.
• When it’s too wet to bring them inside during terrible weather, cover them.
• Check the mounting hardware on a frequent basis.
• Check the wiring on a regular basis.
• Ensure that the speakers are clean on a regular basis.

HOW TO HOOK UP OUTDOOR SPEAKERS TO A TV

• Find the audio output on your television.
• Find the audio input on your receiver that feeds power to your outside speakers.
• Connect your TV’s audio output to your outdoor speaker receiver’s audio input via an RCA cable.
• Turn on the television and select the program you want to watch.

Frequently Asked Questions

• What is the best location for outside speakers to be plugged in?
  This is an excellent area to put your speakers if you have a covered patio or eaves. This will ensure that the majority of the rain and wind will be blocked. It’s a favorite destination for speakers, and with good reason.

• Is it necessary to cover outdoor speakers?
  Because many outdoor speakers are weather-resistant rather than weatherproof, they will require protection. Is the ground (or the deck) close to your eaves? Underneath the speakers, mount them to shield them from the weather. Just make sure they’re not more than 10 feet above the listening area.

• What is the ideal distance between outdoor speakers?
  Each speaker should be separated by 10 to 12 feet, with a spacing of roughly 12 feet between the speaker and the center of the area. If you want to get the most out of your outdoor speakers, you’ll need a solid plan to work from.

• Is it possible for outdoor speakers to get wet?
  Weatherproof speakers are designed to withstand the elements; however, they are only water-resistant, not waterproof. Weatherproof speakers should be alright if they are exposed to humidity, steam, rain, or sprinklers. However, keeping them safe will help them survive longer.

• What’s the best way to keep outside speaker cords safe?
  Ask for the lubricant that is used for tail and turn signals from Autozone or Advance. Apply a small amount of lubricant to the speaker terminals and the wiring, and you’ll be fine. Far superior to squirting Silicone caulk all over the place.

• What is the source of electricity for wireless speakers?
  Most wireless speakers are powered by AC adaptors that plug into a standard outlet or power strip. Some systems employ rechargeable batteries to become “totally wireless,” although this feature necessitates constant charging and repositioning to use this type of surround sound system.

• What is the best way to link my outside wireless speakers to my television?
  All you’ll need is a Bluetooth transmitter to get started. Connect the transmitter to the audio output on your TV after you have it. A power supply may be required depending on the type of transmitter you select. The transmitter must now be paired with your Bluetooth speakers.

• For outside speakers, what kind of wire should I use?
  For runs of less than 80 feet, use 16-gauge wire. Increase to 14-gauge wire for runs of 80 to 200 feet. If you’re going out more than 200 feet, 12-gauge wire is the way to go.

• Is it worthwhile to invest in outdoor speakers?
  Even if you don’t have access to a television, you can listen to a sporting event while grilling. Music also adds to the enjoyment of yardwork and brightens up a workday on the porch. You can accomplish so much with your outdoor speakers!

• What is the best way to enjoy the fantastic outdoor sound without bothering your neighbors?
  Fortunately, adding more speakers is a simple option. This may seem paradoxical, but theme parks have long used this technique to ensure that their guests can hear music properly during parades without having to blast it loudly.
