5. Installazzjoni
5.1 Immuntar
Agħżel post tal-immuntar li jipprovdi ventilazzjoni adegwata għall- amplifier. Avoid mounting in enclosed spaces or directly exposed to sunlight. Ensure the mounting surface is solid and secure. Use the provided hardware to firmly attach the ampaktar ħaj.
5.2 Wajers
Refer to the diagram below for proper wiring connections. Ensure all connections are tight and insulated to prevent short circuits.

Figure 2: Rear panel connections for power, ground, remote, input, and speaker outputs.
5.2.1 Konnessjonijiet tal-Enerġija
- +12V (Enerġija): Connect directly to the positive terminal of the vehicle's battery using an appropriate gauge power cable and an inline fuse within 18 inches of the battery.
- GND (Art): Connect to a clean, solid metal chassis point as close to the amplifier as possible. Ensure the connection point is free of paint or corrosion.
- REM (Mixgħul mill-Bogħod): Connect to the remote turn-on lead from your head unit or an ignition-switched 12V source.
5.2.2 Konnessjonijiet tal-Input
Qabbad il-kejbils RCA mill-pre- tal-unità ewlenija tiegħekamp outputs għall- amplifier's input terminals (AMP1, AMP2, SUB).
5.2.3 Konnessjonijiet tal-Ispeaker
Connect your speakers to the designated speaker terminals (AMP1, AMP2, SUB). Observe correct polarity (+ to + and - to -) for optimal sound performance. The KXMA900.5 supports both stereo and bridged configurations for AMP1 u AMP2 channels, and a dedicated subwoofer channel.
6. Twaqqif u Aġġustamenti
The KXMA900.5 amplifier features various controls for fine-tuning your audio system.

Figure 3: Control panel showing gain, crossover, and EQ settings.
6.1 Gain Setting
Il-kontroll tal-GAIN jaqbel mal- amplifier's input sensitivity to the output level of your head unit. To set the gain:
- Dawwar il- amplifier gain to its minimum setting.
- Turn the head unit volume up to about 75% of its maximum level.
- Żid bil-mod il- amplifier gain until you hear slight distortion, then back it off slightly.
6.2 Crossovers
Il- amplifier features variable high-pass (HP), low-pass (LP), and band-pass (BP) crossovers for AMP1 u AMP2, and a low-pass (LP) and sub-sonic filter for the SUB channel. Adjust these to direct appropriate frequencies to your speakers and subwoofer.
- HPF (Filtru Pass Għoli): Allows frequencies above the set point to pass through. Typically used for full-range speakers.
- LPF (Filtru Low-Pass): Jippermetti li jgħaddu frekwenzi taħt il-punt issettjat. Tipikament jintuża għas-subwoofers.
- Sub-Sonic Filter: Filters out extremely low frequencies that are inaudible and can damage subwoofers.
6.3 KICK EQ (Bass Boost)
The KICK EQ control allows you to increase the bass output at a specific frequency. Use this feature sparingly to avoid distortion and potential speaker damage.
7. Istruzzjonijiet Operattivi
Once properly installed and configured, the KXMA900.5 amplifier will automatically turn on and off with your head unit. Ensure your head unit's volume is at a reasonable level before starting playback. Adjust the head unit's balance and fader controls as desired. For optimal sound, avoid operating the system at maximum volume for extended periods, which can lead to distortion and component damage.
8 Issolvi l-problemi
Jekk tiegħek amplifier is not functioning correctly, consult the following table for common issues and solutions:
| Problema | Kawża Possibbli | Soluzzjoni |
|---|---|---|
| Ebda enerġija/Ebda ħoss | Blown fuse, loose power/ground connection, no remote turn-on signal. | Check inline fuse, verify power/ground connections, check remote wire for 12V. |
| Ħoss distort | Gain set too high, improper crossover settings, damaged speakers. | Reduce gain, adjust crossovers, inspect speakers for damage. |
| Amplifier goes into protection mode (red LED) | Overheating, short circuit in speaker wiring, low voltage. | Ensure proper ventilation, check speaker wiring for shorts, verify battery voltage. |
| No bass from subwoofer | Subwoofer channel gain too low, LPF set too low, subwoofer wiring issue. | Increase subwoofer gain, adjust LPF, check subwoofer connections. |
If the problem persists after troubleshooting, contact KICKER customer support or your authorized dealer.
