Safety precautions

 WARNING

To prevent injury or fire, take the following 
precautions:

•  Mounting and wiring this product requires skills and 

experience. For safety’s sake, leave the mounting and 
wiring work to professionals.

•  When extending the ignition, battery, or ground wires, 

make sure to use automotive-grade wires or other wires 
with the range of 5 mm2 (AWG 10) or more to prevent 
wire deterioration and damage to the wire coating.

•  To prevent a short circuit, never put or leave any metallic 

objects (such as coins or metal tools) inside the unit.

•  If the unit starts to emit smoke or strange smells, turn 

off the power immediately and consult your Kenwood 
dealer.

•  Do not touch the unit during use because the surface of 

the unit becomes hot and may cause burns if touched.

 CAUTION

To prevent damage to the machine, take the following 
precautions:

•  Be sure the unit is connected to a 12V DC power supply 

with a negative ground connection.

•  Do not open the top or bottom covers of the unit.
•  Do not install the unit in a spot exposed to direct 

sunlight or excessive heat or humidity. Also avoid places 
with too much dust or the possibility of water splashing.

•  When replacing a fuse, only use a new one with the 

prescribed rating. Using a fuse with the wrong rating 
may cause your unit to malfunction.

•  To prevent a short circuit when replacing a fuse, first 

disconnect the wiring harness.

NOTE

•  If you experience problems during installation, consult 

your Kenwood dealer.

•  If the unit does not seem to be working right, consult 

your Kenwood dealer.

Cleaning the unit

If the front panel gets dirty, turn off the power and wipe 
the panel with a dry silicon cloth or soft cloth.

 

CAUTION

Do not wipe the panel with a hard cloth or a cloth 
dampened by volatile solvents such as paint thinner and 
alcohol. They can scratch the surface of the panel and/or 
cause the indicator letters to peel off.

To prevent battery rise

When the unit is used in the ACC ON position without 
turning the engine ON, it depletes the battery. Use it after 
starting the engine.

Protection function

The protection function is activated in the following 
situations:
This unit is equipped with a protection function for 
protecting this unit and your speakers from various 
accidents or problems that can occur.
When the protection function is triggered, the power 
indicator goes off and the amplifier stops operating.
•  When a speaker wire may be short-circuited.
•  When a speaker output contacts ground.
•  When the unit malfunctions and a DC signal is sent to 

the speaker output.

•  When the internal temperature is high and unit won’t 

operate.

 Wiring

•  Take the battery wire for this unit directly from the 

battery. If it's connected to the vehicle’s wiring harness, it 
can cause blown fuses etc.

•  If a buzzing noise is heard from the speakers when the 

engine is running, connect a line noise filter (optional) to 
each of the battery wire.

•  Do not allow the wire to directly contact the edge of the 

iron plate by using Grommets.

•  Connect the ground wire to a metal part of the car 

chassis that acts as an electrical ground passing 
electricity to the battery‘s negative 

s

 terminal. Do not 

turn the power on if the ground wire is not connected.

•  Be sure to install a protective fuse in the power cord 

near the battery. The protective fuse should be the same 
capacity as the unit’s fuse capacity or somewhat larger.

•  For the power cord and ground, use a vehicle type 

(fireproof ) power wring cord. (Use a power wiring cord 
with the range of 5 mm2 (AWG 10) or more.) 

•  When more than one power amplifier are going to be 

used, use a power supply wiring wire and protective 
fuse of greater current-handling capacity than the total 
maximum current drawn by each amplifier.

 Speaker selection

•  Use of speakers having input power ratings that are less 

than the output power of the amplifier will cause smoke 
to be emitted as well as damage.

•  The impedance of the speakers that are going to 

be connected should be 2Ω or greater (for stereo 
connections, amplifier SUB), or 4Ω or greater (for bridged 
connections). When more than one set of speakers are 
going to be used, calculate the combined impedance of 
the speakers and then connect suitable speakers to the 
amplifier.
