Wiring Configurations
The KICKER KQ5 goes in the signal chain between the head unit(s) and the sys-
tem’s amplifiers. The most basic connection will be with one source unit and one
amplifier:

When only one source unit is used it doesn’t matter which set of input jacks
are used. Just make sure the input selector switch on the KQ5 front panel is in
the correct position(in for Line 2 input, out for Line 1 input). Likewise, if only one
set of RCA cables are run to your amplifier(s), make sure the Fader Control is
turned to the direction that gives you output to the jacks being used (clockwise
for rear, counter-clockwise for front).
