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
2x speaker-level input adapter
4x mounting screws
3x
spare fuses
1x E.A.R.L ground terminal
INSTALLATION AND WIRING
3x self-tapping screws
1x remote bass controller and cable
1
x power terminal block
1
x 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.
11m
• 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
of the 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.
To power two subwoofers, connect one sub's positive
(+)and negative(-) leads
to the positive and negative
terminals on the left, and the other sub's positive and
negative leads
to the positive and negative terminals on
the right. The terminals are internally paralleled.

Subwoofer

To power one sub, connect the positive wire from the
single subwoofer
to the left + terminal, and the negative
wire from the subwoofer
to the right -terminal.
D 1o;o1
NOTE: Minimum speaker impedance for subwoofer
operation is 2 ohms.
f) Fuses
Replace fuses only with the same amperage: 35A.
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)
of the 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

Remove any paint from the chassis for best contact. If m
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.

If

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).

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.

GAIN: Setting
the
input
sensitivity
Adjusting the gain lets you match the input sensitivity
of amp with the output of your receiver, and match the
relative volume to the rest of your speakers.
• Start with gain control set to minimum, and the
crossover control and bass control rotated midway.
• Choose music with substantial bass content and turn
the volume control
on
your receiver to
%
of its total
output.
• Adjust the gain control clockwise, listening carefully to
the bass output.
If
you hear distortion, turn the gain
control counterclockwise to decrease the gain.

TROUBLESHOOTING
PROBLEM: No audio and POWER INDICATOR is off.
CAUSE and SOLUTION: No voltage at BATI + and/or
REM terminals, or bad or no ground connection. Check
voltages at amplifier terminals with VOM.
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
limits.
Or, there may be voltage 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
incorrectly or there
is a short circuit. Review installation
precautions and procedures. Check wiring connections.
PROBLEM: Distorted audio.
CAUSE and SOLUTION: Gain is not set properly. Check
INPUT LEVEL setting. Check speaker wires for shorts
or
grounds. Amplifier or source unit may be defective.
PROBLEM: Distorted audio and PROTECT INDICATOR
flashes.
CAUSE and SOLUTION: Short circuit in speaker or wire.
Remove speaker leads one at a time to locate shorted
speaker
or wire, and repair.
PROBLEM: Music lacks dynamics or "punch."
CAUSE and SOLUTION: Speakers are not connected
properly. Check speaker connections for proper polarity.
PROBLEM: Engine noise-whining or clicking-in
system when the engine is on.
CAUSE and SOLUTION: Amplifier is picking up
alternator noise. Turn down gain. Move audio cables
away from power wires. Install an alternator noise filter on
power line between battery and alternator. Check ground
connections on the
amplifier- a loose or improper ground
is one of the main causes for noise.
