Wiring: Disconnect the vehicle's battery to avoid
an
electrical short. Then, connect the ground wire
to
the
amplifier. Make the ground wire short, 24" (60cm) or less, and connect
it
to a paint-and-corrosion-free, solid,
metal area of the vehicle's chassis. Adding
an
additional ground wire of this same gauge
(or
larger) between the
battery's negative post and the vehicle chassis
is
recommended.
The
IX
amplifier has dual input sensitivity differential RCA inputs which
will
receive either high or low level signals
from your car stereo's source unit. A high-level signal can be
run
from the source unit's speaker outputs to the
stereo RCA input on the end panel of the amplifier using the
KICKER
ZISL as shown below (make sure you set
the IX amplifier's input level switch to
"HI").
Alternatively, the signal can be delivered to the amplifier using the
low-level RCA outputs on the source unit. Set the input level switch on the end panel of the amplifier to "LO".
Keep the audio signal cable away from factory wiring harnesses and other power wiring.
If
you need
to
cross this
wiring, cross
it
at a
90
degree angle.

Install a fuse within 18" (45cm) of the battery and in-line with the power cable connected to your amplifier. Install
a second fuse within 18" (45cm) of the amplifier. If you ever need to remove the amplifier from the vehicle after
it
has been installed, the ground wire should be the last wire disconnected from the amplifier--just the opposite as
when you installed
it.
