3.2 Amplifier Installation (KICKER 46CXA8001)

Lekapkan 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 ampTerminal REM lifer. Wayar ini memusingkan amphidupkan dan matikan lampu dengan unit kepala anda.

3.2.2 Input Isyarat

The 46CXA8001 amplifier supports both high-level (speaker level) and low-level (RCA) inputs. Use the appropriate input type based on your head unit's outputs.

  • Input Tahap Rendah: If your head unit has RCA outputs, connect them to the ampbicu input RCA lifier.
  • Input Tahap Tinggi: 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 amplebih hidup.

3.2.3 Output Pembesar Suara

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.
