Kicker 48KSS269 system packs pair the Kicker KSC270 mid-range tweeter with a 6”x9”
mid-bass woofer for replacement of factory speakers. The KSC270 utilizes a choice of three
different mounting flanges allowing for bolt-in replacement for some GM, Chrysler, Subaru,
Toyota, and Jeep models. This document demonstrates mounting and wiring of the KSS270 mid-
range tweeter and 6”x9” mid-bass woofer for the following Kicker models:

ASSEMBLING AND MOUNTING THE KSC270
1. Find flange that matches your vehicle’s factory tweeter flange.
2. Place a “BB” sized piece of black adhesive in the general location shown on the flange.
(Black adhesive is not necessary for installation. Adhesive aids in holding the assembly
together during installation.)
3. Route KCS270 wires and motor through the flange. NOTE: Place flange over terminals
first, then locate speaker in flange.

MOUNTING THE KSS69 WOOFER USING THE ADAPTER
1. If necessary, use the mid-bass woofer mounting adapter. Find the bolt pattern that
matches your factory speaker. Factory mounting hardware will be reused.
2. Using side cutters remove any tabs that may impede installation of adapter or reassembly
of factory components. Cutting locations are molded into the backside of the adapter.
