4. സജ്ജീകരണവും ഇൻസ്റ്റാളേഷനും
Proper installation is crucial for optimal performance and safety. Refer to the following guidelines for each component.
4.1 KMC2 Receiver Installation
- മൗണ്ടിംഗ്: The KMC2 is designed to fit into a standard 3-inch gauge opening. Ensure sufficient depth and clearance behind the mounting surface for wiring. Secure the receiver using the supplied mounting hardware.
- പവർ വയറിംഗ്: Connect the yellow wire to a constant 12V power source, the red wire to a switched 12V accessory source, and the black wire to a reliable ground point. Use appropriate inline fuses as recommended by KICKER.
- സ്പീക്കർ utsട്ട്പുട്ടുകൾ: Connect the KMC2's speaker output wires to the KMFC tower speakers. Note that the KMC2 provides 25W x 4, which is suitable for direct speaker connection, but for full power, it should be used with the KMA amplifier via RCA outputs.
- RCA ഔട്ട്പുട്ടുകൾ: Connect the KMC2's full-range RCA outputs to the input of the KMA ampജീവൻ.
- USB/RCA Inputs: Connect USB devices or external audio sources to the respective inputs.
- റിമോട്ട് കൺട്രോൾ (ഓപ്ഷണൽ): If using the KRC12 remote (sold separately), connect it to the designated port on the KMC2.
4.2 KMFC Tower Speakers Installation
- മൗണ്ടിംഗ്: Use the included 316L stainless steel mounting hardware to securely attach the speakers to your vessel's tower or roll bar. Ensure the mounting location can support the weight of the speakers and withstand marine conditions.
- സ്പീക്കർ വയറിംഗ്: Connect the speaker wires from the KMA amplifier (or KMC2 receiver) to the KMFC speakers, observing correct polarity (+ to + and - to -).
- LED വയറിംഗ്: Connect the speaker's LED wires to a 12V power source. The speakers come with a seven-color LED system. For advanced control (20 colors and 19 lighting modes), an optional KMLC remote control is required.
4.3 KMA Ampജീവിത ഇൻസ്റ്റാളേഷൻ
- മൗണ്ടിംഗ്: Choose a dry, well-ventilated location for the amplifier, away from direct sunlight and excessive heat. Secure it using the provided 316L stainless-steel hardware.
- പവർ കണക്ഷനുകൾ: ബന്ധിപ്പിക്കുക amplifier's power and ground terminals to the battery using ABYC/NMMA-compliant power connections. Ensure proper fusing. Connect the remote turn-on wire to the KMC2's remote output.
- ഇൻപുട്ട് കണക്ഷനുകൾ: Connect the RCA outputs from the KMC2 receiver to the RCA inputs of the KMA ampജീവൻ.
- ഔട്ട്പുട്ട് കണക്ഷനുകൾ: Connect the KMFC tower speakers to the amplifier's speaker output terminals. The KMA is a 4-channel amplifier, allowing for individual speaker connections or bridged configurations.
- Crossover and Bass Boost: Adjust the variable 12dB crossover and KickEQ variable 6dB bass boost settings on the amplifier to optimize sound quality for your specific setup and preferences. Start with flat settings and make small adjustments.
