KMA MULTI-CHANNEL SERIES AMPLIFIERS 
OWNER’S MANUAL

INSTALLATION

Mounting:

 Choose a dry, structurally sound location to mount your KICKER amplifi er. 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 amplifi er. Drill four holes using a 7/64” (3mm) bit and use the supplied 
#8 screws to mount the amplifi er.

Wiring:

 The KMA amplifi er’s RCA inputs will receive either high or low level signals from your car stereo’s 

source unit. A high-level signal can be run from the source unit’s speaker outputs to the stereo RCA input 
on the end panel of the amplifi er using the KICKER KISL as shown (see page 3). Alternatively, the signal 
can be delivered to the amplifi er using the low-level RCA outputs on the source unit. Keep the audio 
signal cable away from factory wiring harnesses and other power wiring. If you need to cross this wiring, 
cross it at a 90 degree angle.

IMPORTANT SAFETY WARNING

PROLONGED CONTINUOUS OPERATION OF AN AMPLIFIER, SPEAKER, OR SUBWOOFER IN 
A DISTORTED, CLIPPED OR OVER-POWERED MANNER CAN CAUSE YOUR AUDIO SYSTEM 
TO OVERHEAT, POSSIBLY CATCHING FIRE AND RESULTING IN SERIOUS DAMAGE TO YOUR 
COMPONENTS AND/OR VEHICLE. AMPLIFIERS REQUIRE UP TO 4 INCHES (10CM) OPEN 
VENTILATION. SUBWOOFERS SHOULD BE MOUNTED WITH AT LEAST 1 INCH (2.5CM) CLEARANCE 
BETWEEN THE FRONT OF THE SPEAKER AND ANY SURFACE.
