Mounting, Wiring | Kicker KX.4 Series guide

Installation

Mounting

When selecting a location to mount your Kicker amplifier be sure it is structurally sound and that there are no items behind the area that could be damaged by the screws. Check for brake lines, fuel lines, gas tanks, or wiring harnesses, etc.

All amplifiers generate heat under normal operation. Be sure to choose a location that allows adequate ventilation for the amplifier. Also consider that the air temperature inside an automobiles trunk can reach upwards of 140 degrees fahrenheit. An amplifier mounted here may require additional cooling tactics such as fans or venting to allow cool operation. If possible, mounting the amp in the passenger compartment will allow cooler operation.

Now that you are ready to mount your amplifier, use the supplied 3mm allen wrench to remove the amplifier EndKaps. This will give you access to the mounting holes in the amplifier and all wiring connections.

With the shroud removed, drill 4 holes using a 7/64” drill bit and use the supplied #8 screws to mount the amplifier.

Wiring

Signal can be input into the amplifier using either the low level RCA input connections or the high level (speaker level) connections. Using the low level RCA connections is the preferred method. Use the high level inputs only if your head unit does not have low level RCA type outputs.

WARNING-Use Only One...

Never Both At The Same Time!!!
