KAPPA CHAPTER 2: INSTALLATION AND WIRING What's in the box: 1 amplifier 2 spare fuses (X1 K2; X3 K1000, K5) 1 cabin-mounted control panel (K2, K4, K5) 4 RCA adapters (X2 K2, K600, K1000) 1 REM adapter (K2 and K4 models) 4 screws Owner's Manual Precautions: 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.
1. SPEAKER OUTPUT CONNECTORS: Connect speakers to terminals observing proper polarity: connect each speaker’s positive (+) lead to the appropriate positive (+) terminal, and negative (-) lead to the appropriate negative (-) terminal. • The K2 features L+, L-, R+, and R- terminals • For 2-channel operation connect the left speaker to the L+ and L- terminals, and right speaker to the Front R+ and R- terminals.
KAPPA • The K4 features Front L+, L-, R+, and R- terminals, and Rear L+, L-, R+, and R- terminals. • For 4-channel operation connect the front left speaker to the Front L+ and L- terminals, and front right speaker to the Front R+ and R- terminals. Connect the rear left speaker to the Rear L+ and L- terminals, and rear right speaker to the Rear R+ and R- terminals.
• The K5 features Front L+, L-, R+, and R- terminals; Rear L+, L-, R+, and R- terminals; and Sub + and - terminals. • For 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 positive (+) lead to the + terminal, and the negative (-) lead to the - terminal.
KAPPA 4. Remote (K600, K1000, K5): Connect an 18awg wire from the “Remote Out” lead of the source unit to the REM input. This lead detects signal and instructs the amplifier to turn on. (See 12. REM below for remote connection info for the K2 and K4 models.) Kappa REM input power block +12V REM GND 5. Front and rear inputs and outputs (RCA): • If your source unit offers preamp outputs, connect to the FRONT, REAR, and/or SUB inputs using RCA patch cables.
11. Controller (K2, K4, K5): Connect the supplied control panel to the amplifier’s Controller connector, as shown in the illustration below. The control panel includes a long cable and a mounting flange, allowing it to be mounted in a convenient location in the vehicle’s cabin. 12. REM (K2, K4): Connect an 18awg wire from the Remote Out lead of the source unit to the included connector, and then plug the connector into this input (see illustration below).
KAPPA 13. ADAS Input (K2, K4, K5): ADAS input channel sequence: 1. FL- 2. FL+ 3. FR- 4. FR+ 5. RL- 6. RL+ 7. RR- 8. RR+ 14. Input for firmware updates: Micro USB input for connecting to a computer for firmware updates, if required. Current software version can be checked by pressing and holding the Phone End button on remote controller for at least 10 seconds (see 21. Phone End button below).

KAPPA 26. Party Mode button: When the light is illuminated, Operating Mode has been engaged and up to three devices may stream content without a permanent Bluetooth pairing. (See 28. Bluetooth Pairing button and more about Operating Mode in Chapter 4). 27. Power button: Press power button to turn the amplifier on or off. 28. Bluetooth pairing button: To pair a device, press the Bluetooth button, then select the Kappa amplifier from the list of available devices that appear on your phone.
Audio input priorities For safety and ease of operation reasons, your Kappa amp prioritizes audio inputs as follows: 1) ADAS, 2) Bluetooth calls, 3) music/analog audio. 1) ADAS messages will broadcast over phone calls and analog audio signals. 2) Bluetooth phone calls will play over analog audio signals. 3) Analog audio will play when neither ADAS nor Bluetooth call signals are present.
KAPPA Setting the crossover (K2, K4, K600) Properly setting crossover filter selectors optimizes frequency distribution for efficient speaker operation and best sound. Step 1: Use the slider controls to select low-pass (LP), FULL, or high-pass (HP). • LP: Low pass. Choose this setting if you are connecting a subwoofer(s) or want to provide a low-pass filter for separate mid-bass speakers. NOTE: the K600 and K1000 feature low-pass crossovers only. • FULL: Full range.
CHAPTER 5: TROUBLESHOOTING PROBLEM: No audio and POWER INDICATOR is off. CAUSE and SOLUTION: No voltage at BATT+ 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 INDICATOR is on. CAUSE and SOLUTION: Amplifier is overheated.
