Installation . . . as easy as 1, 2, 3
1.Mounting Choose a structurally sound location to mount your Kicker amplifier. The controls on the top of the amplifier need to be accessible for adjustment. Make sure there are no items behind the area where the screws will be driven. Choose a location that allows at least 4” (10cm) of open ventilation for the amplifier. Mount the amplifier in a location free from direct contact with water. Drill four holes using a 7/64” (3mm) bit and use the supplied #8 screws to mount the amplifier.

CONFIGURATION
3.Configuration The following diagrams show the most common configurations for your Kicker MX series amplifier.
FourChannelOperation with Subwoofer These MX amplifiers are capable of operating into a
minimum impedance of 2 ohms per channel in stereo operation and 2 ohms mono in the dedicated subwoofer channel. See Figure 2.
BridgedOperation (Mono) The MX.700.5 series amplifier is capable of operating into a minimum
impedance of 4 ohms when the four stereo channels are bridged to two mono channels, and 2 ohms mono in the dedicated subwoofer channel. This allows you to bridge AMP 1 to run the “right” side and AMP 2 to run the “left” side. You will need two RCA

2.Wiring Disconnect the vehicle’s battery to avoid an electrical short. Then connect a 4 gauge grounding wire from the amplifier to the battery’s negative post.
Use a twisted pair(s) of RCA interconnect cable to feed the audio signal to the amplifier. If you are using only one pair of RCA inputs, connect the RCA cable to the AMP 1 inputs. Leave the rubber boots on the AMP 2 and SUB AMP RCA inputs. All five MX700.5 channels will work with a single pair of RCA input cable; the fader will not operate. Keep the RCA cable away from factory wiring harnesses and other power wiring. If you need to cross this wiring, cross it at a 90 degree angle.
Install a fuse within 18” (45cm) of the battery and
amplifier. If you ever need to remove the amplifier from the vehicle after it has been installed, the ground wire should be the last wire disconnected from the
