5.2.1 Têkiliyên Hêzê
- +12V (Hêz): 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 (Erd): 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 (Vekirina Ji Dûr): Connect to the remote turn-on lead from your head unit or an ignition-switched 12V source.
5.2.2 Têkiliyên Input
Kabloyên RCA ji pêş- yekîneya serê xwe ve girêdin-amp derketeyan ji amplifier's input terminals (AMP1, AMP2, SUB).
5.2.3 Girêdanên Axaftvan
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 û AMP2 channels, and a dedicated subwoofer channel.

6.2 Crossovers
Ew amplifier features variable high-pass (HP), low-pass (LP), and band-pass (BP) crossovers for AMP1 û 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 (Parzûna Bilind-Pass): Allows frequencies above the set point to pass through. Typically used for full-range speakers.
- LPF (Fîltera Derbasbûna Nizm): Allows frequencies below the set point to pass through. Typically used for 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.
