2.Wiring Before wiring the Warhorse amplifier, disconnect the vehicle’s batteries to avoid an electrical short. Eight (8) identical, high-quality, 800-cold-cranking-ampere (cca), 12-volt batteries are recommended to power the WX amplifier. All power and ground wires should be as short as possible and utilize 1/0 gauge wire. Remove the wire guide and power hood from the amplifier as shown in Figure 3. Connect three (3) ground wires from the amplifier’s negative power connector to the negative terminals of three (3) batteries in the battery network.

Caution The Kicker WX amplifier outputs extremely high voltage signals from the voice coil (speaker) outputs and can cause serious injury or death from electrocution. It is imperative to read the manual carefully and follow all of the recommended safety precautions before installing the WX amplifier.

From two (2) of the batteries in the battery network, connect 1/0 gauge ground wire from the negative terminals of the batteries to a paint-free and corrosion-free solid-metal area of the vehicle's chassis. Make the ground wires short, 18” (45cm) or less. To reduce noise, make sure the ground wires connect to the same piece of metal and are within 18” (45cm) of each other.

Figure 4

Warning: This amplifier is not like anything you have ever hooked up before. Pay close attention to the wiring diagrams in this manual. Improper connections will damage the amplifier.

With the control panel shield removed, connect a twisted pair of RCA (low-level) interconnect cable, carrying the incoming audio signal, to the RCA inputs on the amplifier. Connect the speaker wires to the supplied AndersonTM connectors. Use 8 gauge wire and strip 9/16” (14mm) from the end being inserted into the metal contacts. See Figure 5. The wire should be secured by placing the metal contact into a vise and melting solder inside the metal contact. Then, insert the stripped wire into the molten solder within the contact. Do not use acid core solder.

The Warhorse amplifier requires at least two (2) 200-ampere-output-capacity alternators. For each alternator, connect a 250 ampere fuse within 18” (45cm) of each alternator and a second 250 ampere fuse within 18” (45cm) of the battery network. Without adequate charging capability, the WX amplifier can draw enough current to shut down your vehicle’s computer system. This may adversely affect your ability to control your vehicle. See Figure 4.

Eight (8) identical, high- quality, 800-cca, 12-volt batteries are recommended for optimum performance.

CONFIGURATION

The three (3) positive 1/0 gauge power wires should be the last wires connected in the installation. Install a Kicker three (3) gang ANL fuse holder (not incuded) within 18” (45cm) of the battery network and in-line with the three (3) power cables connected to the amplifier’s positive power connector. Improper connections will damage the amplifier and/or cause serious injury or death. If you ever need to remove the amplifier from the vehicle after it has been installed, the ground wires should be the last wires disconnected from the amplifier, just the opposite as when you installed it. See Figure 4.
