Wiring:
Disconnect the vehicle's battery to avoid
an
electrical short. Then, connect the ground wire to the
amplifier. Make the ground wire short,
24"
(60cm) or less, and connect
it
to a paint-and-corrosion-free, solid,
metal area of the vehicle's chassis. Adding
an
additional ground wire of this same gauge
(or
larger) between the
battery's negative post and the vehicle chassis
is
recommended.
The CX amplifier has dual
1nput
sensitivity differential RCA inputs which
will
receive either high or low level signals
from your car stereo's source unit. A high-level signal can be
run
from the source unit's speaker outputs to the
stereo RCA input on the end panel of the amplifier using the
KICKER ZISL
as
shown (make sure you set the CX
amplifier's input level switch to
"HI").
Alternatively, the signal can be delivered to the amplifier using the low-level
RCA outputs on the source unit. Set
the input level switch on the end panel of the amplifier to "LO".
Keep the
audio signal cable away from factory wiring harnesses and other power wiring.
If
you need to cross this wiring,
cross
it
at a
90
degree angle.

a fuse within
18"
(45cm) of the battery and in-line with the power cable connected to your amplifier.
If
you
ever need to remove the amplifier from the vehicle after
it
has been installed, the ground wire should be the last
wire disconnected from the amplifier--just the opposite as when you installed
it.
