3.2 Amplifier Installation (KICKER 46CXA8001)

Montoni amplifier in a location that provides good air circulation and is protected from moisture and excessive heat. Common locations include under a seat, in the trunk, or attached to the subwoofer enclosure.

3.2.1 Power Wiring (HA-AK8 Kit)

  1. Power Cable (+12V): Connect the 8-gauge power cable from the HA-AK8 kit to the vehicle's positive battery terminal. Install the fuse holder (included in HA-AK8 kit) as close to the battery as possible (within 18 inches) to protect the vehicle's electrical system. Route the power cable to the amplifier's +12V terminal.
  2. Ground Cable (GND): Connect the 8-gauge ground cable from the HA-AK8 kit to a clean, unpainted metal surface on the vehicle's chassis. Ensure a solid, low-resistance connection. Connect the other end to the amplifier's GND terminal. The ground cable should be as short as possible, ideally less than 3 feet.
  3. Remote Turn-On Cable (REM): Connect a thin gauge wire (typically blue) from your head unit's remote output to the ampterminalin REM të çliruesit. Ky tel e kthen ampNdizni dhe fikni çliruesin me njësinë tuaj kryesore.

3.2.2 Hyrje sinjali

  • Hyrja e nivelit të ulët: If your head unit has RCA outputs, connect them to the ampprizat hyrëse RCA të lifier-it.
  • Hyrja e nivelit të lartë: If your head unit does not have RCA outputs, use the speaker-level inputs. Refer to the amplifier's specific wiring diagram for connecting speaker wires directly to the ampmë i gjallë

3.2.3 Dalja e altoparlantit

Connect the subwoofer enclosure's speaker terminals to the amplifier's SPEAKER output terminals. Ensure correct polarity (+ to + and - to -) for optimal sound. The 48DCWR122-RS enclosure is wired for a 2 Ohm load.
