Speaker Selection

The rated input power of the speakers that are going to be connected should be greater than the maximum output power (in Watts) of the amplifier. Use of speakers having input power ratings that are less than the output power of the amplifier will cause smoke to be emitted as well as damage.

Use speakers that have an impedance of 2Ω or greater. When more than one set of speakers are going to be used, calculate the combined impedance of the speakers and then connect suitable speakers to the amplifier.

Control terminal

Attach the connection terminal to a commercially available wiring cable for in-car use, and connect it to the unit.

NOTE

An EXT.AMP.CONT. terminal can only be attached if Kenwood centre unit is a model released in 1999 or latter, and has an “EXT.AMP.CONT.” cable. Using the external amp control, up to 3 power amplifiers can be operated simultaneously (although this may not be possible, depending on the type of wiring cable used, and its length).
