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.

INSTALLATION AND WIRING
1x E.A.R.L ground terminal
3x
self-tapping screws
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.
E • 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 Preamp outputs
The Kappa four amplifier allows you to send a second
amplifier line-level
signal. Connect a set of RCA patch cables
to the line-level inputs
on the Kappa amplifier at one end ,
and to the second amplifier's line-lev
el inputs at the other.
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.
@
·· ----
..... 1---
~oo--
Ifyour 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).
eInput level
Select LO if providing signal to the INPUT LEVEL
amplifier with line-level connections. II n II
Select Hl1 or Hl2 if using speaker-level .. _ ..
connections. Note: If you have connected __J
1
L--
your amplifier to factory speaker outputs LO Hl1 Hl2
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.
t) 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.
C) Crossover filter selectors (X-OVER)
You can choose the type of crossover filters for your
system.
• 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 both 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 channels.
G) Crossover frequency controls (FREQ)
Turn the dials to the left to lower the crossover point, and
to the right to raise the crossover point. Crossover point
settings vary by listener preference.
4D Remote input plug/adapter
Connect a 20-gauge wire from the "Remote
Out" lead
of the source unit to the included
connector, and then plug the connector into the
input. NOTE: Plug the wire from the source unit
into the left side ("
IN") of the connector. If you' re
connecting multiple amplifiers, you can plug
another 20-gauge wire into the right side ("OUT")
of the connector, then plug the other end of the
wire into your second amplifier's
REM input.

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.
