INTRODUCTION  
Kole Audio amplifiers provide high-performance sound reinforcement for your mobile  
audio equipment. Its versatility enables compatibility with optional Equalizers,  
Frequency Dividing Crossover Networks, and other audio processors in a customized  
system. The Multi-Mode bridging capabilities allow flexibility in hosting several different  
speaker configurations.  
To achieve optimum performance, it is highly recommended that you read this  
Owners Manual before beginning installation.  
WARNING  
High powered audio systems in a vehicle are capable of generating "Live Concert"  
high levels of sound pressure. Continued exposure to excessively high volume sound  
levels may cause hearing loss or damage. Also, operation of a motor vehicle while  
listening to audio equipment at high volume levels may impair your ability to hear  
external sounds such as; horns, warning signals, or emergency vehicles, thus  
contributing to a potential traffic hazard. In the interest of safety, Kole Audio  
recommends listening at lower volume levels while driving.

WARNING .........................................................................................  
PLANNING YOUR SYSTEM  
Before beginning the installation, consider the following:  
1. Do you plan to add additional mobile electronics equipment in the future?  
If you plan to expand your system by adding other components sometime in the  
future, ensure adequate space is left and cooling requirements are met.  
2. Should you use high or low level inputs?  
Your Amplifier has been designed to accept Low-Level(Pre-Amp outputs from your  
radio) source signal. If your radio/source is equipped with Pre-Amp outputs, it is  
possible to utilize them to drive the Amplifier and the 2 front speakers. Then, use the  
built-in power of your radio to drive the 2 rear speakers.  
3. Are your components matched?  
The RMS power rating of your speaker(s) must be equal or greater than the RMS  
power rating of your amplifier. Your speaker(s) also must be 2 - 8 Ohms impedance  
for stable amplifier operation. Impedance information is normally printed on the  
speaker basket or magnet.  
4. Where will the amplifier be installed?  
Consider both the length of your leads, and routing when determining the mounting  
location. It is best to run power and RCA wiring on opposite sides of the vehicle to  
prevent induced noise. Pre-amp input jacks require a length of high quality shielded  
male to male RCA patch cord.

CONNECTING THE POWER (Fig.1)  
CAUTION:  
AS A PRECAUTION, DISCONNECT THE POWER WIRE FROM THE BATTERY WHILE MAKING THE  
POWER AND GROUND CONNECTIONS TO THE AMPLIFIER.  
4/8 GAUGE(Thicker if planning for additional Amplifiers) wire is recommended for  
both the power and ground wires. 12 Gauge, for the remote turn-on wire. Both  
types are available at most Mobile Audio Dealers or Installation Shop.  
(1) Ground : To Vehicle Chassis  
To avoid unwanted ignition noise caused by ground loop, it is essential that the  
Amplifier be grounded to a clean, bare, metal surface of the vehicle's Chassis  
NOTE :  
GROUND WIRE SHOULD NOT BE EXTENDED MORE THAN 3 FT. (1 METER).  
(2) +12 Volt(Fused) Constant Power: To Battery (+)  
Due to the power requirements of the Amplifier, this connection should be made  
directly to the positive (+) terminal of battery. For safety measures, install an in-line  
Fuse Holder (not included) as close to the battery positive (+) terminal as  
possible with an ampere rating; not to exceed total value of fuses in Amp.  
(3) Remote Turn-On Input: To remote turn-on output of Car Stereo  
This Amplifier is turned "ON" remotely when the vehicle's stereo is turned "ON".  
NOTE :  
IF YOUR RADIO DOES NOT HAVE A +12 VOLT OUTPUT LEAD WHEN THE RADIO IS TURNED ON, THE "REMOTE"  
TERMINAL ON THE AMPLIFIER CAN BE CONNECTED TO VEHICLE'S ACCESSORY CIRCUIT THAT IS LIVE WHEN THE  
KEY IS "ON".

CONTROLS  
RCA input jacks  
These RCA input jacks are for use with source units that  
have RCA or Line level outputs. A source unit with a  
minimum level of 200mV is required for proper operation.  
The use of high quality twisted pair cables is  
recommended to decrease the possibility of radiated  
noise entering the system.  
Auxiliary outputs  
The Auxiliary outputs offer Kole Audio amplifiers easy,  
unlimited system expansion.  
Route RCA's from the line out of the first amplifier to the line  
input of a second amplifier when using a single source  
output.  
LEVEL Control  
The level control will match the amplifiers sensitivity to the  
source units signal voltage.  
PH4-800/PH4-1000/PH4-1400/PH1-2000D/PH1-4000D/PH1-  
5500D : The Operating range is 200mV minimum to 6V  
maximum.  
PH2-700/PH2-1000/1500/2000/2400 : The Operating range is  
200mV minimum to 3V maximum.  
CAUTION: Do not run the amplifier in high volume for long time,  
otherwise the loudspeakers will be damaged.  
Bass EQ / BASS BOOST  
PH4-800/PH4-1000/PH4-1400 : The boost can be selected  
0dB or 18dB.  
PH2-700/PH2-1000/PH2-1500/PH2-2000/PH2-2400 : The  
boost can be adjusted between 0dB to 24dB.

WARNINGS  
Investigate the layout of your automobile throughly before drilling or cutting  
any holes. Take care when to work near the gas tanks, lines, or hydraulic  
lines, and electrical wiring. Don't use power amplifier unmounted. Attach  
this system securely to the automobile to prevent damage, particularly in  
the event of an accident. Don't mount this system so that the wire  
connections are unprotected or are subject to pinching or damage from  
nearby objects. The +12V DC power wire must be fused at the battery  
positive terminal connection. Before making or breaking power connections  
at this system power terminals, disconnect the +12V wire at the battery end.  
Confirm your radio/cassette player and/or other equip is turned off while  
connecting the input jacks and speaker terminals. If you need to replace  
the power fuse, replace it only with a fuse identical to that supplied with the  
system. Using a fuse of different type or rating may result in damage to this  
system which isn't covered by the warranty.
