Wiring Diagram- Kicker System

[AirZR6]

Earlier this year I purchased a Air Nautique 196 limited with the Kicker Amplifier and Clarion Subwoofer. When I got the boat home and turned on the stero all I could here was static. I looked at the connections and then found out that all of the wiring was messed up and jerry-rigged together. I called up the Dealership where I purchased my boat from and they said that the stero came like that form the factory and that they didn't know what I ws talking about. I then semi-rewired the speakers so I could at least listen to something. A few weeks later I learned form a freind that the amplifier had been stolen out of my boat. I now have the boat in my shop and would like to re-wire the system to specs of the stock system. If anyone has a wiring diagram or pictures of the setup in a boat please post them it would help me out greatly.

Thank alot.

Thanks for the information . Do you know if the 4 speakers and sub are all ran off the amp or is the head unit used to power the speakers.

Mine is set up with amp 1 powering the 4 rear speakers.. they share the channel, basically 2 wires in each slot. and Amp 2 bridged powering the sub. The front speakers are powered by the head unit. Came this way when I got the boat from dealer.

Please note the 1 kicker amp is set up as 2 amps thus amp 1 and amp 2.

It is my impression that the sub isn't really worth having in there. I am debating unplugging it, because I really can't hear it.

Keep it, and feed it more power. Then you'll hear it and feel it. :twisted:
