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.

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 in-line with the power cable connected
to
your
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 amplifier--just the opposite as when you installed
it.
See the
below
for power and ground wire size, and fusing recommendations.
