Wiring Instructions
The preferred method of bringing input signal into the KX3 crossover is with
one or two sets of twisted pair RCA cables from a quality source unit.
If only one pair of RCA cables is used, the “Parallel” switch must be turned ON.
If two pairs of RCA cables are used, the “Parallel” switch must be turned OFF.
Power for the KX3 should always come from a fused source. If you are using
an aftermarket head unit it is convenient to tap into the sources constant power
lead for main power and add to the remote output for turn on.
If you are using a source which does not have a remote turn on lead the KX3
can be turned on with a switched accessory lead. You can find this accessory
power source in the factory harness at the back of the radio. It is the lead that
turns on and off with the key.
To reduce the chance of noise entering the system, it is recommended that
the RCA cables be run through the vehicle separate from any power wires.

The KX3 crossover can be mounted in any convenient location in your vehicle
that allows access to the controls and freedom from moisture. The flanges on
the chassis have mounting holes which can be used as a template for the screw
holes.
