RS-Series Component Systems Set the Standard among High-Performance Midrange/Tweeter Combos
Categories: Industry News Car Audio Speakers
STILLWATER, USA – Ultimate reliability and tremendous audio clarity provide the makeup for KICKER® RS-Series Matched Component Systems.
These outstanding midrange/tweeter/crossover combos use most all of the technologies of supreme QS-Series Systems, giving music lovers yet another source for a complete range of the smoothest, richest frequencies available. The RS-Series offers a more affordable option for those who seek genuine KICKER high-end performance from their mobile-audio system.
The RS65.2 (featuring a 6.5-inch midrange woofer) and RS60.2 (a true 6-inch midrange that also fits 5.25-inch location) let their primary sound flow through speakers that use a polyimide former and copper-clad aluminum wire to help decrease hot temperatures within the motor. Cast-aluminum baskets with nickel-plated, spring-loaded terminals provide additional protection and result in a more durable driver and higher power handling.
Each system’s one-inch, high-end tweeter pair with advanced DuPont® Tetoron® elliptical domes can be installed in a flush, angled, surface, or coaxial mount, the latter allowing the installer to remove aluminum phase plugs from the midrange speakers’ centers and screw in special adapters and tweeters. RS-Series tweeters exude a wider dispersion pattern for greatly increased detail in high frequencies.
Redesigned crossovers make RS Component Systems more flexible and reliable than ever, and they look great in a custom install. Configuration choice rests with the listener – the new 2-way bi-ampable passive crossovers have 18 dB/ octave highpass and 12 dB/ octave lowpass filters at 3.5kHz to optimize output. A tweeter output-level switch (0dB, +3dB, +6dB) determines tweeter volume, while the crossover itself provides incandescent tweeter protection.
