Safety precautions

To prevent injury or fire, take the following

precautions:

· When extending the ignition, battery, or

ground wires, make sure to use automotive-

grade wires or other wires with a 14 mm2

(AWG6) or more to prevent wire deterioration

and damage to the wire coating.

· To prevent a short circuit, never put or leave

any metallic objects (such as coins or metal

tools) inside the unit.

· If the unit starts to emit smoke or strange

smells, turn off the power immediately and

consult your Kenwood dealer.

· Do not touch the unit during use because the

surface of the unit becomes hot and may

cause burns if touched.

To prevent damage to the machine, take the

following precautions:

· Be sure the unit is connected to a 12V DC

power supply with a negative ground

connection.

· Do not open the top or bottom covers of the

unit.

· Do not install the unit in a spot exposed to

direct sunlight or excessive heat or humidity.

Also avoid places with too much dust or the

possibility of water splashing.

· When replacing a fuse, only use a new one

with the prescribed rating. Using a fuse with

the wrong rating may cause your unit to

malfunction.

· To prevent a short circuit when replacing a

fuse, first disconnect the wiring harness.

· If you experience problems during

installation, consult your Kenwood dealer.

· If the unit does not seem to be working right,

consult your Kenwood dealer.

FCC WARNING

This equipment may generate or use radio

frequency energy. Changes or modifications

Cleaning the unit

If the front panel gets dirty, turn off the power

and wipe the panel with a dry silicon cloth or

soft cloth.

Do not wipe the panel with a hard cloth or a

cloth dampened by volatile solvents such as

paint thinner and alcohol. They can scratch the

surface of the panel and/or cause the indicator

letters to peel off.

When the unit is used in the ACC ON position

without turning the engine ON, it depletes the

battery. Use it after starting the engine.

Protection function

Installation

1. Install the installation fittings in the unit.

2. Attach the unit.

3. Install the terminal cover.

· Do not install in the below locations;

(Unstable location, In a location that interferes with driving, In a location that gets wet, In a

dusty location, In a place that gets hot, In a place that gets direct sunlight, In a location that

gets hit by hot air)

· Do not install the unit under the carpet. Otherwise heat build-up occurs and the unit may be

damaged.

· Install this unit in a location which allows heat to easily dissipate.

Once installed, do not place any object on top of the unit.

· The surface temperature of the amplifier will become hot during use. Install the amplifier in a

place where people, resins, and other substances that are sensitive to heat will not come into

contact with it.

· When making a hole under a seat, inside the trunk, or somewhere else in the vehicle, check

that there is nothing hazardous on the opposite side such as a gasoline tank, brake pipe, or

wiring harness, and be careful not to cause scratches or other damage.

· Do not install near the dashboard, rear tray, or air bag safety parts.

· The installation to the vehicle should securely fasten the unit to a place in which it will not

obstruct driving. If the unit comes off due to a shock and hits a person or safety part, it may

cause injury or an accident.

· After installing the unit, check to make sure that electrical equipment such as the brake lamps,

turn signal lamps and windshield wipers operate normally.

About D-class

A D-class amplifier uses an inaudible

frequency as a switching pulse to change

the pulse width to represent the music

signal. (Pulse Width Modulation: P.W.M.)

5 INPUT SENSITIVITY control

Adjust this control according to the pre-out

level of the center unit connected to this

amplifier.

Refer to "Specifications" on the center

unit's instruction manual about the pre-out

level.

8 LPF(Low-Pass Filter) FREQUENCY

control

This control adjusts the frequency band

output from this unit.

2 BAND REJECT filter switch

When this switch is set to "-6dB"/"-12dB",

frequencies in the band set with the B.R.F.

FREQUENCY control are rejected and

eliminated. The band rejection allows to

reduce resonance inside the vehicle

compartment and standing waves. (page 6)

9 B.R.F. FREQUENCY control

Sets the rejection frequency when the

BAND REJECT switch is set to "-6dB"/"-

12dB". (page 6)

4 INFRASONIC switch

(OFF/ON)

When this switch is set to "ON", the

inaudible, ultralow frequencies below the

frequency set with the 15Hz/25Hz switch

are cut off. This improves the reproduction

performance of the speakers by eliminating

unnecessary oscillations which will not

become sound.

(15Hz/25Hz)

Switches the cutoff frequency when the

OFF/ON switch is set to "ON".

3 PHASE switch

When this switch is set "REVERSE"

(Reverse: 180°) the speaker output phase is

reversed.

1 B.M.S.(Bass management system)

Bass boost centered on the frequency set

by the B.M.S. FREQUENCY control.

· +12 position:

Bass boost +12 dB

·OFF position:
