THANK YOU FOR YOUR PURCHASE ...
Your product has been designed to provide you the performance and ease of operation you expect from Infinity. Take
time
to read this manual before operating or installing your amplifier. Keep it in your glove compartment along with the
owner's manual for your
car. Put your amplifier sales receipt with other important documents in order to expedite warranty
service if needed. This manual describes general installation guidelines and operation instructions. Please note that proper
installation of mobile audio components requires qualified experience with mechanical and electrical procedures.
If you
do not have the knowledge and tools
to perform this installation, we strongly recommend consulting an authorized Infinity
dealer about your installation options.
What's in the box
1x amplifier
6x speaker-level input adapter
4x mounting screws
3x spare fuses
INSTALLATION AND WIRING
1x E.A. R. L ground terminal
3x self-tapping screws
1x remote bass controller and cable
1x power terminal block
1x owner's manual
IMPORTANT: Disconnect the vehicle's negative (-) battery terminal before beginning the installation.
• Wear protective eyewear when using tools.
• Choose a safe mounting location, away from moisture. Check clearances on both sides of the location. Be sure
that screws will not puncture brake
or fuel lines or wiring harnesses, and that wire routing will not interfere with vehicle
operation. Use caution when drilling or cutting.
• When making electrical connections, make sure they are secure and properly insulated.
•
To keep the amplifier cool, choose a location that provides enough air circulation, such as under a seat or in the trunk.
• Do not mount the amplifier with the heat sink facing downward, as this interferes with cooling.
• Mount the amplifier so that
it will not be damaged by the feet of passengers or shifting cargo in the trunk, and so that
it remains dry.
~~~ • Using the amplifier as a template, mark the locations of the holes on the mounting surface.
•
Drill pilot holes in the mounting surface.
• Attach the amplifier
to the mounting surface with the included screws.
NOTE: You may find it more convenient to make all ofthe connections to the amplifier before you permanently mount it.

0 Speaker Output Connectors
Connect the speakers to these terminals, observing
proper polarity: connect each speaker's positive(+) lead
to the appropriate positive(+) terminal, and negative(-)
lead
to the appropriate negative(-) terminal.
5-channel operation: Connect the front left speaker to
the front L+ and L- terminals, and the front right speaker
to the front R+ and R- terminals. Connect the rear left
speaker
to the rear L+ and L- terminals, and the rear right
speaker
to the rear R+ and R- terminals. Connect the
subwoofer's + lead
to the sub + terminal, and the -lead
to the sub -terminal.
NOTE: Minimum speaker impedance is 2 ohms.
f) Fuses
Replace fuses only with the same amperage: 30A.
E) Power Input Connectors
• Power: Run 4-gauge power wire from the +12V input
to the positive terminal of the vehicle's battery. Insert
bare wire into the terminal on the amplifier, then tighten
the setscrew with a Phillips screwdriver.
• Install
an appropriate fuse holder and 1 OOA fuse within
18" (457mm) ofthe battery. Install protective
grommets when routing wires through the bulkhead
or other sheet metal. Use larger-gauge wiring for
longer runs.
• Remote: The REM lead detects signal and instructs
the amplifier
to turn on/off. Connect a 20 -gauge wire
from the "Remote Out" lead
of the source unit to the
REM input between the +12V and GND inputs.

• Ground: Run a wire (the same gauge as the power
wire) from the
GND input to a factory bolt in the
vehicle's chassis (see illustration below).
NOTE: Remove any paint from the chassis for best
contact. If using a ring connector, place a star washer
below the ring connector for a secure connection.
• For a more secure ground connection, use the
included E.A.R.L. ground terminal. Crimp the open
end of the terminal
to the end of your ground wire,
then place the terminal against bare chassis metal,
and secure with the included self-tapping screws.
NOTE: Be sure to check below your desired ground
location
to ensure that the screws will not puncture
brake lines, fuel lines,
or wiring harnesses.

0 Line-level inputs (RCA)
If your source unit offers preamp outputs, connect to the
front and rear
Land R, and subwoofer inputs using RCA
patch cables.
@ --==:ooo---
If your car audio system's head unit does not have
line-level outputs, use the supplied bare wire-to-RCA
adapters to connect the Kappa amplifier's inputs to either
the front
or the rear speaker outputs of your car audio
system's head unit (splice crimps not included).
Use a small Phillips screwdriver to loosen the adapter's
set screws and insert the speaker wires into the holes
on
the back of the adapter. Tighten the set screws to secure
the wires.
Always connect the(+) speaker wire to the adapter's
(+)terminal and
the(-) speaker wire to the adapter's (-)
terminal. When
all wires are connected, plug the adapters
into the Kappa amplifier's preamp inputs.

Important: Some factory audio system amplifiers include
electronic filters that limit the amount
of bass sent to the
system's smaller speakers. This filtering will adversely
affect the Kappa amplifier's performance.
To get the most
bass possible, splice the high-level wires into the factory
speaker outputs that are connected to the system's
largest speakers (the ones designed to reproduce the
most bass).

amplifier with line-level connections.

~ I. L-
connections. LO Hl1 Hl2
Note: If you have connected your amplifier to factory
speaker outputs and the audio fails to play, change the
switch to "HI2". The "
HI2 " position includes a circuit
designed to fool a factory audio system into "seeing" a
speaker connected to its input.
Important: "HI2" should never be used when the
amplifier
is connected to a
head unit's line-level
(RCA) outputs.
G Auto turn-on selector
If your stereo has no "Remote Out" lead,
slide the "AUTO TURN
ON " switch to
"ON". This will allow the amp to turn
on when it detects speaker-level audio
signal.

0 Crossover filter selectors (X-OVER)
You can choose the type of crossover filters for your front
and rear channels.
• LPF: Low pass. Choose this setting if you' re
connecting a subwoofer(s), or want to provide a low-
pass filter for separate mid-bass speakers.
• FULL: Full range. Choose this setting if you're
connecting full-range speakers, and not using a
subwoofer
in your system.
• HPF: High pass. Choose this setting to prevent low
bass from reaching midrange or full-range speakers
when you're using a subwoofer
in your system.
E) GAIN: Setting the input sensitivity
To match your amplifier's input sensitivity (gain) to your
source unit's output level, we recommend the following
procedure:
• Turn
all input level controls
counterclockwise to MIN (minimum).
• Play a dynamic music track through
your source unit. Turn the source unit's
volume control to the 3/4 position.
• Turn the front input level control dial
clockwise towards MAX until you hear
distortion
in the music (it 's no longer
clear).
• Turn the front
level input control dial
counter-clockwise until the music sounds
clear again.
• Your front input
level is now correctly set.
Repeat this process with the rear and
subwoofer channels.
0 Crossover-filterfrequency controls
(FREQ)
Turn the dial to the left to lower the
crossover point, and to the right to raise
it.
Adjust the crossover until your subwoofer
plays only low-frequency information.

PROBLEM: No audio and PROTECT INDICATOR flashes
every 4 seconds.
CAUSE and SOLUTION: DC voltage on amplifier output.
Amplifier may need service; see enclosed warranty card
for service information.
PROBLEM: No audio and PROTECT and POWER
INDICATORS flash.
CAUSE and SOLUTION: Voltage less than 9V on
BATI
+
connection. Check vehicle charging system.
PROBLEM: No audio and PROTECT INDICATOR
is
on.
CAUSE and SOLUTION: Amplifier
is
overheated. Make
sure amplifier cooling is not blocked at mounting location.
Verify that speaker-system impedance
is
within specified
limit
s.
Or, there may be vol
ta
ge greater than 16V (
or
less
than 8.
5V)
on
BATI
+
connection. Check vehicle charging
system.
PROBLEM: Amplifier fuse keeps blowing.
CAUSE and SOLUTION: The wiring is connected
in
co
rrectly
or
there is a short circuit. Re
vi
ew installation
pr
ecautions and proce
dur
es. Check wiring connections.
PROBLEM: Distorted audio.
CAUSE and SOLUTION: Gain is not set properly. Check
INPUT LEVEL setting. Check speaker wires for shorts
or
ground
s.
