Wiring - Kicker KEY500.1 Owner's Manual

Wiring

Disconnect the vehicle's battery to avoid an electrical
short. Then connect the ground wire to the amplifier.
Make the ground wire short, 24" (60cm) or less, and
connect it to a paint-and-corrosion-free, solid, metal
area of the vehicle's chassis. Adding an additional
ground wire of this same gauge (or larger) between
the battery's negative post and the vehicle chassis
is recommended. 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.
