Kappa 102a
I N S T A L L A T I O N
The Kappa 102a is easy to install. For optimum
performance, we recommend using high-quality, twisted-
pair shielded RCA audio cables and 14-gauge or larger
speaker wire. Also, you'll need a minimum of 12-gauge
stranded copper wire (e.g., red and black jackets) for the
power connections. Use 18-gauge (e.g., blue jacket) wire
for remote turn-on.
Depending on your total system plan, allow for adequate
time and the possibility of overnight storage of your
vehicle, since it may take more than one day to complete
the installation.

Refer to Figure 7 (below) for details of the Kappa 102a's
front and rear panel connections.
1. For power, remote, and speaker wires, strip
one end of each jacket to reveal bare wire for insertion
into the Weco connectors.
2. Using the Weco 2-pin power connector, connect a
black wire from the nearest bare-metal chassis
component to the (–) terminal. Then, connect a red
wire from the vehicle's +12-volt battery terminal to
the (+) terminal.
