INSTALLATION
Mounting: Choose a structurally sound location to mount your KICKER amplifi er. Make sure there are no
items behind the area where the screws will be driven. Choose a location that allows at least 4” (10cm)
of open ventilation for the amplifi er. If possible, mount the amplifi er in the climate-controlled passenger
compartment. Drill four holes using a 7/64” (3mm) bit and use the supplied #8 screws to mount the
amplifi er.

amplifi er.
Wiring: Disconnect the vehicle’s battery to avoid an electrical short. Then, connect the ground wire to the
amplifi er. 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 amplifi er’s RCA inputs 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 amplifi er using the KICKER KISL as shown. Alternatively, the signal can be delivered to
the amplifi er using the low-level RCA outputs on the source unit. 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.

IMPORTANT SAFETY WARNING
PROLONGED CONTINUOUS OPERATION OF AN AMPLIFIER, SPEAKER, OR SUBWOOFER IN A DISTORTED, CLIPPED
OR OVER-POWERED MANNER CAN CAUSE YOUR AUDIO SYSTEM TO OVERHEAT, POSSIBLY CATCHING FIRE
AND RESULTING IN SERIOUS DAMAGE TO YOUR COMPONENTS AND/OR VEHICLE. AMPLIFIERS REQUIRE UP TO
4 INCHES (10CM) OPEN VENTILATION. SUBWOOFERS SHOULD BE MOUNTED WITH AT LEAST 1 INCH (2.5CM)
CLEARANCE BETWEEN THE FRONT OF THE SPEAKER AND ANY SURFACE.
