Owner's Manual

5
• 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.
• The K600 and K1000 feature two positive (+) and two negative (-) terminals.
• 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.
• If you are connecting only one sub, you can use either set of positive and negative terminals.
• NOTE: Minimum speaker impedance for stereo full-range and subwoofer operation is 2ohms. Minimum speaker impedance for bridged
operation is 4ohms.
2. Fuses:
Replace only with fuses of the same amperage.
• For the K2, K4, K5 use 30 Amp.
• For the K600, K1000 use 35 Amp.
3. Power Input Connectors:
• Power: Run power wire from the +12V input to the positive terminal of the vehicle’s battery. Install an appropriate fuse holder and fuse
(60A minimum) within 18" (457mm) of the battery. Make sure the wire is not damaged or pinched during installation. Install protective
grommets when routing wires through the bulkhead or other sheet metal. Use larger-gauge wiring for longer runs.
• K2, K4 minimum wire size: 10 gauge
• K600, K1000, K5 minimum wire size: 8 gauge
• 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. Use a star washer below the ring connector for a secure connection.
