For multiple amplifi er installations where distribution blocks are used, each amplifi er should have its
proper-rated fuse, or breaker, installed between the amplifi er and the distribution block within seven inches
of the block, or on the distribution block if it provides for fusing. The primary power wire should also be
fused between the battery and distribution block, within seven inches of the battery's B+ terminal, with
a fuse or breaker rated at least to the sum of the individual amplifi er's fuse values, but not to exceed
1.5-times the sum of the individual fuse values (not to exceed the ampacity of the thermal insulation of the
wiring as shown in U.S.C.G. CFR33 183.425, Table 5). See the diagram below.
NOTE: Seven inches is the standard distance under U.S. Coast Guard CFR33 for placement of fuses or
breakers as required by law for new boat manufacturing. We recommend trying to adhere to this standard
in a consumer installation. Failure to do so does not mean you are breaking the law, but it does put the
safety of your boat and passengers at risk in the event of a power wire short circuit.

KICKER will now provide a three-year warranty with all KXA-
Series Amplifi er purchases paired with a qualifying KICKER
Installation Kit* .
This extends the standard warranty by an additional year. Amplifi er and Kit must be
purchased from an Authorized KICKER Dealer.
KICKER KMA amplifi er success is currently at an unheard-of rate, making the extended
warranty program even more benefi cial to you.
Using poor-quality, under-spec wiring kits will impede KMA amplifi er performance.
A superior-quality KICKER installation Kit is guaranteed to extend the life of KMA amplifi ers.
The new extended warranty applies only to KICKER amplifi ers and accessories sold to consumers by Authorized
KICKER Dealers in the United States of America or its possessions. It also only applies to the original purchaser
of KICKER amplifi ers and accessories. One warranty extension per amplifi er is allowed regardless of the number
of amplifi er installation kits purchased. This program does not apply to "B"-stock product or factory-refurbished
product.
This offer is for a limited time, so see your local Authorized KICKER Dealer soon for details.
