KMA MULTI-CHANNEL SERIES AMPLIFIERS

OWNER’S MANUAL

INSTALLATION

Mounting: Choose a dry, structurally sound location to mount your KICKER ampliﬁer. Make sure there

are no items behind the area where the screws will be driven. Choose a location that allows at least 4”

(10cm) of open ventilation for the ampliﬁer. Drill four holes using a 7/64” (3mm) bit and use the supplied

#8 screws to mount the ampliﬁer.

Wiring: The KMA ampliﬁer’s RCA inputs 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 KISL as shown (see page 3). Alternatively, the signal

can be delivered to the ampliﬁer using the low-level RCA outputs on the source unit. 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.

For multiple ampliﬁer installations where distribution blocks are used, each ampliﬁer should have its

proper-rated fuse, or breaker, installed between the ampliﬁer and the distribution block within seven inches

of the block, or on the distribution block if it provides for fusing. The primary power wire should also be

fused between the battery and distribution block, within seven inches of the battery’s B+ terminal, with

a fuse or breaker rated at least to the sum of the individual ampliﬁer’s fuse values, but not to exceed

1.5-times the sum of the individual fuse values (not to exceed the ampacity of the thermal insulation of the

wiring as shown in U.S.C.G. CFR33 183.425, Table 5). KICKER recommends using the KICKER marine

line of power distribution accessories. These are fully marine compliant with ignition protected fuses and

meet all USCG standards. Pair a KMFMF master fuse holder for your main power with a KMFDB3 and

KMDB3 fused power and ground distribution blocks for the ultimate in protection for your boat! See the

diagram below.

NOTE: Seven inches is the standard distance under U.S. Coast Guard CFR33 for placement of fuses or

breakers as required by law for new boat manufacturing. We recommend trying to adhere to this standard

in a consumer installation. Failure to do so does not mean you are breaking the law, but it does put the

safety of your boat and passengers at risk in the event of a power wire short circuit.

OPERATION

Automatic Turn-On Selection: The KMA series offers two different automatic turn-on modes that can

be selected on the end panel; +12V and DC Offset.

• Remote Turn-On: Run 18 gauge wire from the Remote Turn-On Lead on your source unit to the

terminal labeled REM between the ampliﬁer’s positive and negative power terminals. This is the

preferred automatic turn-on method.

• If 12V remote turn-on is not available, DC Offset turn-on can be used if speaker-level (high-level)

audio inputs are being used. The DC offset mode detects a 6V DC offset on the speaker wires when

the source unit has been turned on.

Input Level: The RCA inputs on KICKER KMA ampliﬁers are capable of receiving either Hi or Low-level

signals from your source unit. If you are using a Hi-Level signal, simply press in the Input Level switch on

the ampliﬁer. Refer to the wiring section of this manual for additional instructions.

Crossover Control: The variable crossover on the side of the ampliﬁer allows you to adjust the

crossover frequency of AMP3 (KMA600.6 only) to OFF, hi-pass, or lo-pass from 50–200Hz, and the hi-

pass crossover frequency of AMP1 & AMP2 from OFF-200Hz. OFF will pass a full-range signal, HI will cut

off frequencies below a threshold, and LO will cut off frequencies above a threshold.

Input Gain Control: The input gain control is not a volume control. It matches the output of the source

unit to the input level of the ampliﬁer. Turn the source unit up to about 3/4 volume (if the source unit goes

to 30, turn it to 25). Next, slowly turn (clockwise) the gain on the ampliﬁer up until you can hear audible

distortion, then turn it down a little.

Bass Boost Control: The variable bass boost control on the side of the ampliﬁer is designed to give

you increased output, 0–6dB, at 40Hz. The setting for this control is subjective. If you turn it up, you must

readjust the input gain control to avoid clipping the ampliﬁer.

TROUBLESHOOTING

If your ampliﬁer does not appear to be working, check the obvious things ﬁrst such as blown fuses, poor

or incorrect wiring connections, incorrect setting of crossover switch and gain controls, etc. There are

Power (PWR) & Protection (PRT) LEDs on the side panel of your Kicker KMA series ampliﬁer. Depending

on the state of the ampliﬁer and the vehicle’s charging system, the LEDs will glow either green or red.

When the green LED is lit, this indicates the ampliﬁer is turned on and no trouble exists.

Green LED off, no output? With a Volt Ohm Meter (VOM) check the following: +12 volt power

terminal (should read +12V to +16V) Remote turn-on terminal (should read +12V to +16V) Check

for reversed power and ground connections Ground terminal, for proper conductivity.

Green LED on, no output? Check the following: RCA connections Test speaker outputs with a

“known” good speaker. Substitute source unit with a “known” good source unit. Check for a signal

in the RCA cable feeding the ampliﬁer with the VOM meter set to measure “AC” voltage.

Red LED ﬂickering with loud music? The red LED indicates low battery voltage. Check all the

connections in your boat’s charging system. It may be necessary to replace or charge your battery or

replace your alternator.

Red LED on, no output? Ampliﬁer is very hot = thermal protection is engaged. Test for proper

impedance at the speaker terminals with a VOM meter (see the diagrams in this manual for minimum

recommended impedance and multiple speaker wiring suggestions). Also check for adequate airﬂow

around the ampliﬁer. Ampliﬁer shuts down only while your boat is running = voltage protection circuitry

is engaged. Voltage to the ampliﬁer is not within the 10–16 volt operating range. Have the boat’s charging

and electrical system inspected. Ampliﬁer will only play at low volume levels = short circuit protection

is engaged. Check for speaker wires shorted to each other. Check for damaged speakers or speaker(s)

operating below the minimum recommended impedance.

No or low output? Check the balance control on source unit Check the RCA (or speaker input)

and speaker output connections. Check for reversed polarity at the speaker(s)

Alternator noise-whining sound with engine’s RPM? Check for damaged RCA (or speaker input)

cable Check the routing of RCA (or speaker input) cable Check the source unit for proper grounding

Check the gain settings and turn them down if they are set too high.

Ground Noise? KICKER ampliﬁers are engineered to be fully compatible with all manufacturers’ head

units. Some head units may require additional grounding to prevent noise from entering the audio signal.

CAUTION: When jump starting the battery, be sure that connections made with jumper cables are

correct. Improper connections can result in blown ampliﬁer fuses as well as the failure of other critical

systems in the boat.

ADVERTENCIA IMPORTANTE DE SEGURIDAD: LA OPERACIÓN PROLONGADA Y CONTINUA DE UN AMPLIFICADOR DE MANERA

DISTORSIONADA O CORTADA PUEDE PROVOCAR QUE SU SISTEMA DE AUDIO SE SOBRECALIENTE CON LA POSIBILIDAD DE

INCENDIARSE Y PROVOCAR DAÑOS GRAVES A SUS COMPONENTES O VEHÍCULO. ¡LOS PRODUCTOS KICKER PUEDEN PRODUCIR

NIVELES DE SONIDO QUE PUEDEN DAÑAR PERMANENTEMENTE SU OÍDO! SUBIR EL VOLUMEN DE UN SISTEMA A UN NIVEL EN EL

CUAL SE ESCUCHA UNA DISTORSIÓN ES MÁS DAÑINO PARA SUS OÍDOS QUE ESCUCHAR UN SISTEMA SIN DISTORSIÓN AL MISMO

NIVEL DE VOLUMEN. EL UMBRAL DEL DOLOR ES SIEMPRE UN INDICADOR DE QUE EL NIVEL DEL SONIDO ES MUY ALTO Y PUEDE

DAÑAR PERMANENTEMENTE SU AUDICIÓN. USE EL SENTIDO COMÚN AL CONTROLAR EL VOLUMEN.
