Overview IMPORTANT SAFETY WARNING PROLONGED CONTINUOUS OPERATION OF AN AMPLIFIER, SPEAKER, OR SUBWOOFER IN A DISTORTED, CLIPPED OR OVER-POWERED MANNER CAN CAUSE YOUR AUDIO SYSTEM TO OVERHEAT, POSSIBLY CATCHING FIRE AND RESULTING IN SERIOUS DAMAGE TO YOUR COMPONENTS AND/OR VEHICLE. AMPLIFIERS REQUIRE UP TO 4 INCHES (10CM) OPEN VENTILATION. SUBWOOFERS SHOULD BE MOUNTED WITH AT LEAST 1 INCH (2.5CM) CLEARANCE BETWEEN THE FRONT OF THE SPEAKER AND ANY SURFACE.

Installation Wiring Disconnect the vehicle’s battery to avoid an electrical short. Connect the KPB’s black ground wire to a paint-and-corrosion-free, solid, metal area of the vehicle’s chassis, or to the negative battery terminal. Connect the KPB’s red power wire to the positive battery terminal. Install a 15A fuse for the KPB1 or 30A fuse for the KPB2 between the KPB and the power source.
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. Mounting The KPB-series mounts natively to bar cylinders with included bar clamp diameter sizes of 1.5”, 1.75”, and 2”. Use the KPB Square Clamps (LINK GOES HERE) - sold separately - to mount your KPB to square bars. Choose a structurally sound location to mount the KPB. The KPB may be mounted below or above bars.
2. Place the Clamp Rings around your mounting bar and secure the Clamp Rings to the Mounting Bases using the Clamp Screws.

You may exit pairing mode at this stage by short pressing the SOURCE button. To finish pairing, from your audio device select either ‘KPB1 KICKER’ or ‘KPB2 KICKER’. When successfully connected, the STATUS LED will be solid blue.
Remote Control Install The remote control must be charged via USB micro 5V power input. Install the included remote control to your steering wheel as follows: 1. Place the KPB onto the wheel facing the user in the position in which it will be most used. 2. With the lock open, place the two arms of the remote control around the steering wheel. 3. Pull the lock down over the open slot on the adjacent arm.
Troubleshooting If the KPB becomes frozen or stuck during algorithmic calculation, does not appear to be working, or gives an error code, check the obvious things first such as blown fuses, poor or incorrect wiring connections, incorrect setting of gain controls, etc. No power? With a Volt Ohm Meter (VOM) check the following: +12 volt power terminal (should read +12V to +16V) Check for reversed power and ground connections Ground terminal, for proper conductivity.
