How to Connect a Kenwood Amp
After choosing the correct Kenwood amplifier for your specific needs, you must wire it into your car's electrical and audio system. This task may seem daunting but needn't be a challenge. Many Kenwood amplifiers can be installed in as little as five minutes. As with most amplifiers, a wiring kit is required for the Kenwood installation. This can be purchased for $15 at automotive stores as of November 2010.
