INSTALLATION
Mounting:
Choose a structurally sound location to mount your
KICKER
amplifier. Make sure there are no items
behind the area where the screws
will
be driven. Choose a location that allows at least
4"
(1
Ocm)
of open
ventilation for the amplifier.
If
possible, mount the amplifier
in
the climate-controlled passenger compartment.
Drill
four holes using a 7 /64" (3mm) bit and use the supplied #8 screws to mount the amplifier.
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
KX
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 (make sure you set the
KX
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.
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.
