SAFETY
PLAY LOUD & SAFE. Read through this information, follow the instructions and save the manual for future usage and reference.
Do not expose the wiring to your new speaker to excessive dampness or moisture. If the speaker’s wiring is exposed it might result in electric failure, shock or damage to the product. Servicing is required when the product has been damaged in any way and/or doesn’t operate normally. Refer all servicing to qualified service personnel only. Keep the cables inside the vehicle separate from sharp edges or components that may be affected or take damage. Follow the recommended cable sizes and always use high-quality cables and accessories. Even if you’re eager to put the speakers to use – take no shortcuts when installing the cables, make sure that all connectors are protected and secured. Do not drill any holes without checking what lies beneath, and don’t cut anything without making sure that no important components risk being damaged. There is a first time for everything, if you need help – ask a friend or contact your local GAS AUDIO POWER dealer/installer. We want you to experience your product’s MAD sound, but we don’t want you to injure yourself or others. Use common sense, respect high- pressure levels and volume, and follow your local laws and regulations.

FEATURES
The MAD component kit is made to be LOUD and last for years to come. We want to help you and your vehicle to be as LOUD as possible. We’ve made sure that is the case by using innovative and groundbreaking techniques that increase durability.
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? Good! Time for an upgrade. Our goal with
the Kl series component kit is to give you as much sound as possible, without
breaking the bank.
MAKE YOUR CAR FEEL LIKE NEW AGAIN
Just the way you like it, just the way your car wants it – uncomplicated, LOUD
and made to fit like a glove. For crisp and clear highs, we’ve included a 20mm
silk dome tweeter with a Neodymium magnet and an inline crossover. Included
with the K1 series are three different multiple-mounting accessories for the
tweeter. Choose your tweeter location without holding back, LOUD upgrades fit
everywhere!
DESIGNED TO BE DURABLE
Our research department has truly gone MAD! For our MAD $2 subwoofers we
developed a new kind of IMPP cone and we decided that it was so good – we
brought it over to the K1 series. We’ve also added a hard PP dust cap, with a
convex shape for better high frequency dispersion and off-axis response. This
means that the Kl series speakers are durable, moist proof and ready to kick
some ass!
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 K1 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!
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 know how/skills 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 between the midrange woofer and the tweeter, it makes sure that the
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!
-
FRONT DOORS
The front right and left doors are typical positions for woofer placement! In some models youll find original speakers in the kickpanel – right in front of the doors in the footwell. -
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 grille 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 a tweeter 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 a tweeter, 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 KI 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.
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 K1 series tweeter on your dash? Great! Make sure to use the ANGLED SURFACE M0UNTING. 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!
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.
