5. Configuración e instalación
La instalación adecuada es crucial para el rendimiento y la longevidad de su ampLifier. Siga estos pasos cuidadosamente:
5.1 Ubicación de montaje
Choose a dry, structurally sound location that allows for adequate airflow around the amplifier. Avoid mounting directly in sunlight or near heat sources. Ensure the mounting surface is flat and secure.
5.2 conexiones de cableado
Before making any connections, disconnect the vessel's battery. Refer to the diagrams below for proper wiring.

Figure 1: Power and Speaker Output Terminals. This image shows the left side of the amplifier with terminals for Ground (GND), Remote (REM), +12V power input, and six speaker output channels (AMP1, AMP2, AMP3).
5.2.1 Conexiones de energía
- +12 V (Alimentación): Connect a direct wire from the positive terminal of the vessel's battery to the +12V terminal on the amplifier. Use appropriate gauge wire (e.g., 4-gauge for this amplifier) and install a fuse holder within 18 inches of the battery.
- GND (tierra): Connect a wire of the same gauge as the power wire from the GND terminal to a clean, unpainted metal surface of the vessel's chassis or a dedicated ground bus bar. Ensure a solid, low-resistance connection.
- REM (Encendido remoto): Connect a wire from the remote turn-on output of your head unit or marine stereo to the REM terminal. This wire signals the amplifier to turn on when the stereo is active.
5.2.2 Conexiones de altavoces
Connect your speakers to the designated speaker output terminals (AMP1, AMP2, AMP3). The KMA600.6 is a 6-channel amplifier, supporting three stereo pairs or various bridged configurations. Ensure correct polarity (+ to + and - to -) for all speakers.
5.2.3 Conexiones de entrada
Connect the RCA outputs from your head unit or marine stereo to the RCA input jacks on the amplifier. The KMA600.6 features inputs for AMP1, AMP2, y AMP3.

Figure 2: Input and Control Panel. This image displays the right side of the amplifier, showing RCA inputs (AMP1, AMP2, AMP3), Input Level switch, Gain controls, Crossover (X-OVER) switches, Frequency (FREQ) knobs, and Bass Boost controls.
5.3 Configuración inicial y ajustes
After all wiring is complete and verified, reconnect the battery and proceed with initial adjustments:
- Nivel de entrada: Set the Input Level switch (LO/HI) according to your head unit's output voltage. Use "LO" for typical RCA outputs (low-level) and "HI" for speaker-level inputs (high-level).
- Control de ganancia: Turn the gain knobs (AMP1, AMP2, AMP3) to their minimum (counter-clockwise) position. Gradually increase the gain while playing music until you hear slight distortion, then back off slightly. This matches the amplifier's output to your head unit's signal.
- Cruce (X-OVER): Use the X-OVER switches to select the desired filter type (OFF/HP/LP).
- HP (Paso alto): Allows frequencies above the set point to pass, typically used for full-range speakers to protect them from low bass.
- LP (Paso bajo): Allows frequencies below the set point to pass, typically used for subwoofers.
- OFF: Desactiva el crossover.
- Frecuencia (FREQ): Adjust the frequency knob for each channel to set the crossover point.
- Refuerzo de graves: Use the Bass Boost knob to add a low-frequency boost if desired. Use sparingly to avoid distortion.
6. Instrucciones de funcionamiento
Once installed and initially configured, the KMA600.6 amplifier operates automatically with your marine stereo system. When your head unit is turned on, the amplifier will power up via the remote turn-on wire. Adjust volume and basic tone controls through your head unit.
For fine-tuning, refer back to the gain, crossover, and bass boost settings on the amplifier. Make small adjustments and listen carefully to the sound output to achieve your preferred audio balance.
7. Mantenimiento
The Kicker KMA600.6 amplifier is designed for durability in marine environments. Regular maintenance is minimal but important:
- Limpieza: Limpie periódicamente el ampEl exterior del elevador tiene un diseño suave y damp cloth to remove salt, dirt, or grime. Do not use harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners.
- Verificación de conexión: Annually inspect all power, ground, remote, and speaker connections for corrosion or looseness. Tighten any loose connections and clean any corrosion.
- Ventilación: Asegúrese de que el área alrededor de la ampEl ventilador permanece libre de obstrucciones para permitir una disipación adecuada del calor.
