Installation
Since the power amplifier has no parts which require
operation, it can be installed at a position away from
the driver's seat without any hindrances.
As generally accepted positions for its installation,
places such as inside the trunk, etc. can be
considered.
· Do not install the unit under the carpet. Otherwise
heat build-up occurs and the unit may be damaged.
· Install this unit in a location which allows heat to
easily dissipate. Once installed, do not place any
object on top of the unit.
· The surface temperature of the amplifier will
become hot during use. Install the amplifier in a
place where people, resins, and other substances
that are sensitive to heat will not come into contact
with it.
· When making a hole under a seat, inside the trunk,
or somewhere else in the vehicle, check that there
is nothing hazardous on the opposite side such as a
gasoline tank, brake pipe, or wiring harness, and be
careful not to cause scratches or other damage.
· Do not install near the dashboard, rear tray, or air
bag safety parts.
· The installation to the vehicle should securely fasten
the unit to a place in which it will not obstruct
driving. If the unit comes off due to a shock and hits
a person or safety part, it may cause injury or an
accident.
· After installing the unit, check to make sure that
electrical equipment such as the brake lamps, turn
signal lamps and windshield wipers operate
normally.

Safety precautions
To prevent injury or fire, take the following
precautions:
· When extending the ignition, battery, or ground
wires, make sure to use automotive-grade wires or
other wires with a 3mm2 (AWG12) 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.
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.
· If you experience problems during installation,

FCC WARNING
This equipment may generate or use radio frequency
energy. Changes or modifications to this equipment
may cause harmful interference unless the
modifications are expressly approved in the instruction
manual. The user could lose the authority to operate
this equipment if an unauthorized change or
modification is made.
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.
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.
Wiring
· 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 -
terminal. Do not turn the power on if the ground
wire is not connected.
· Connect the power cable directly to the battery.
It can cause blown fuses if you connect to the
vehicle wring harness.
· Connect the cable protection fuse close to the
battery. Use a fuse with a capacity 10A greater
than the amplifier fuse capacity.
· Use a heat-resistant vehicle type cable. Use a
cable with a current capacity 20A greater than
the amplifier fuse capacity.
· 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
· The rated input power of the speakers that are
going to be connected should be greater than
the maximum output power (in Watts) of the
amplifier. 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 2
or greater (for
stereo connections), or 4
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.

Tri-mode
Principle of Tri-mode
Method of frequency band division using a coil
and capacitor ... in case of 6dB/oct. slope
Coil (L): Passes low frequencies and blocks
high frequencies. (Low pass)
Capacitor (C): Passes high frequencies and
blocks low frequencies. (High pass)
Example:
When it is required to set a crossover
frequency of 120 Hz using speakers with an
impedance of 4 ohms.
fc=Cut of Frequency (Hz)
R=Speaker Impedance (
)
· If you wish to bridge-connect a speaker, the
speaker impedance must be no less than 4
ohms. Connecting a speaker with an
impedance lower than 4 ohms may damage
the unit.
· Be sure to connect capacitors to speakers to
which high frequencies will be passed.
Failure to do so will result in a drop of the
combined impedance with the subwoofer.
· Ensure that the withstand voltage and
current ratings of the capacitors (C) and coils
(L) are sufficient.
