At least two (2)  200-ampere alternators are

required to power the Warhorse amplifier.

Run two (2) ground wires from
separate negative battery
terminals. Ground wires should
connect to vehicle chassis
within 18” of each other. 

Eight (8) identical, high-
quality, 800-cca, 12-volt
batteries are recommended
for optimum performance.

Configuration 

The following diagram shows the recommended mono configuration for your

Kicker WX amplifier. The WX amplifier can only drive extremely high-power-rated, dual-voice coil
speakers. We recommend using one or more Kicker SoloX Subwoofers. Each voice coil (speaker)
output is rated at 2 ohms minimum.

Warning: This amplifier is not like anything you
have ever hooked up before. Pay close
attention to the wiring diagrams in this manual.
Improper connections will damage the amplifier.

Without adequate
charging capability, the
WX amplifier can draw
enough current to shut
down your vehicle’s
computer system. This
may adversely affect
your ability to control
your vehicle.

The WX amplifier outputs dangerous voltage levels from the voice
coil (speaker) outputs and can cause serious injury or death from
electrocution. Never contact the voice coil outputs, connect
speakers, or contact speaker wires  while the amplifier is turned on.

Caution 

The Kicker WX amplifier outputs extremely high voltage signals

from the voice coil (speaker) outputs and can cause serious injury or death
from electrocution. It is imperative to read the manual carefully and follow all
of the recommended safety precautions before installing the WX amplifier.

Improper connections will damage the
amplifier and/or cause serious injury or
death. Be sure that all wiring is
connected to the appropriate polarity.
