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 where the screws will be driven that could be damaged. Check for wire harnesses, brake lines, fuel lines, gas tanks, 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 automobile’s luggage compartment can reach upwards of 140° Fahrenheit (60° Celsius). An amplifier mounted here may require additional cooling tactics such as fans or venting ducts to the passenger compartment to allow cool operation. If possible, mount the amplifier in the climate-controlled passenger compartment.

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

With the EndKap removed, drill four holes using a 7/64” (11mm) drill bit and use the supplied #8 screws to mount the amplifier.
