KX2500.1 Amplifier

Mounting 

When selecting a location to mount your Kicker amplifier be

sure it is structurally sound and that there are no items behind
the area that could be damaged by the screws. Check for wiring
harnesses, brake lines, fuel lines, gas tanks, etc. 

All amplifiers generate heat under normal operation. Be sure to

choose a location that allows adequate ventilation for the 
amplifier. Also consider that the air temperature inside an
automobile’s trunk can reach upwards of 140 degrees 
fahrenheit (60° celsius). An amplifier mounted here may require
additional cooling needs such as fans or venting to allow cool
operation. If possible, mounting the amp in the passenger
compartment will allow cooler operation. 

Remember that the controls on top of the amp will need to be

accessible for adjustment later. Keep this in mind as you choose
your amplifiers mounting location. 

Now that you are ready to mount your amplifier, use the 

supplied 3mm allen wrench to remove the amplifier EndKaps.
This will give you access to the mounting holes in the 
amplifier and all wiring connections. 

NOTE: Objects in the manual are larger than they appear!
Pictures and diagrams of the massive KX2500.1 in this manual
are not to scale...this was done to prevent having a manual the
size of your average wakeboard.

With the shroud removed, drill 4 holes using a 7/64” (2.75 mm)

drill bit and use the supplied #8 screws to mount the amplifier.
