(Small)
Since there are large variety of settings and connections possible according to
applications, read the instruction manual well to select the proper setting and
connection.
1. Remove the ignition key and disconnect the negative · terminal of the
battery to prevent short circuits.
2. Set the unit according to the intended usage.
3. Remove the Dressing cover.
Dressing cover
4. Connect the input and output wires of the units.
5. Connect the speaker wires.
6. Connect the power wire, power control wire and grounding wire following
this order.
7. Install the installation fittings in the unit.
8. Attach the unit.
9. Install the remote controller.
10. Attach the Dressing cover.
11. Connect the negative · terminal of the battery.
CAUTION
• Do not install in the below locations;
(Unstable location, In a location that interferes with driving, In a location
that gets wet, In a dusty location, In a place that gets hot, In a place that
gets direct sunlight, In a location that gets hit by hot air)
• Do not install the unit under the carpet. Otherwise heat build-up occurs
and the unit may be damaged.
• Install this unit in a location which allows heat to easily dissipate.
Once installed, do not place any object on top of the unit.
• The surface temperature of the amplifier will become hot during use. Install
the amplifier in a place where people, resins, and other substances that are
sensitive to heat will not come into contact with it.
• When making a hole under a seat, inside the trunk, or somewhere else in
the vehicle, check that there is nothing hazardous on the opposite side
such as a gasoline tank, brake pipe, or wiring harness, and be careful not to
cause scratches or other damage.

• Do not install near the dashboard, rear tray, or air bag safety parts.
• The installation to the vehicle should securely fasten the unit to a place in
which it will not obstruct driving. If the unit comes off due to a shock and
hits a person or safety part, it may cause injury or an accident.
• After installing the unit, check to make sure that electrical equipment
such as the brake lamps, turn signal lamps and windshield wipers operate
normally.

About the Lead Terminals
1. Wire Thicknesses
Hexagon
Wrench
(Large)
You can use wires with the following thicknesses:
Hexagon Wrench
(Small)
Battery wire and ground wire
Speaker wire
AWG 4 – AWG 6
AWG 8 – AWG 12
10 - 13 mm
(3/8" - 1/2")
2. Strip the wire
Make a cut in the wire sheath (insulator made from vinyl, etc.) at the
position 10-13 mm away from the end of the wire, and then remove the
unnecessary portion of the sheath by twisting it.
3. Install the wire
Loosen the screw using the supplied hexagon wrench. Insert the
conductor of the wire in the terminal hole, and then tighten the screw.

■ Multi Amplifier with Remote cable connection
You can control the Bass boost level of the
second and subsequent Slave amplifiers
simultaneously from the Master amplifier.
The volume level of each amplifier is
determined by the setting of the Master
amplifier (INPUT SENSITIVITY, boost level of
the remote controller).

NOTE
# ISF (infrasonic filter) control
If you can’t find the specified capacity fuse at your store etc., consult your
Kenwood dealer.
Ultralow frequencies that cannot be reproduced even by a subwoofer
speaker do not become sound but become unnecessary oscillations, which
affect the sound by causing distortion, etc. Setting this control cuts the
frequencies below the respective frequency.

Controls the unit ON/OFF.
This improves the reproduction performance of the speakers by eliminating
unnecessary oscillations which will not become sound.
