KAPPA FIVE DISASSEMBLY INSTRUCTIONS. [NOTE keep track and separate any and all screws; they are dissimilar.]

1) Remove the two screws at opposite ends on the bottom of the heat sink.
2) Remove the end panel on the Input side only, four Phillips screws.
3) Slide both pieces of silver trim off the heat sink.
4) Remove the top cover; it will be attached with a cable so unplug the connector.  For most component repairs on the MAIN PCB, the entire PCB must be removed from the heat sink.
Note the 4 channel output MOSFETS (IRF6645) is an exception; skip to steps 1-5 below.
5) Remove the Output end panel, five Phillips screws.
6) Remove the terminal screws to the Power connections, and top row only of the speaker terminals.
7) Remove the remaining four Phillips screws on the bottom of the heat sink. There are two nuts which may spin on the machine screws; look at the top of the PCB.
8) Remove all Phillips screws holding the Aluminum transistor clamps on; remove the clamps.  Two screws holding two additional TO-220 devices should be removed.
9) Remove the Amplifier PCB; six Philips screws. The PCB will then pull straight up and off the MAIN PCB.
10) Slide the complete PCB out of the heat sink channel.

Access to the (8) output MOSFETS Q3A, Q4A, Q5A, Q6A, Q2, Q8, Q13, Q14

1) Follow steps 1~4 above.
2) Remove the two centermost screws on the bottom of the heat sink.
3) Follow step #9 above to remove the Amplifier PCB
4) Remove the gray heat sink from the PCB by grasping and pulling it straight out  it is only held on by friction from the white heat sink compound.
5) The (8) output MOSFETS are underneath the rectangular insulator on the PCB.

Amplifier Troubleshooting Guide

Status LED on Amplifier not Lit - Head Unit (Source) Turned ON Verify:
A. Remote turn-on wire from source to amplifier has proper voltage
B. Power (B+) connections at amplifier, terminal blocks, and battery are secure
C. Ground (GND) connections at amplifier and vehicle chassis are secure
D. Battery B+ fuse (if used) is OK
E. Amplifier fuse is OK
F. B+ at battery and B+ at amplifier has proper voltage
Status LED’s Lit, No Output from Speakers in Normal Operating Condition Verify:
A. RCA cables from amplifier to source are securely connected
B. Volume adjustment on amplifier is correctly adjusted
C. Source is ON and playing
Engine Noise From Speaker(s)
Turn source OFF, Disconnect RCA cables at amplifier. If noise stops, check equipment & cables leading to amplifier.
Verify:
A. RCA cables are of good quality with no breakage to internal shields
B. RCA cables from source to amplifier are not run alongside any power cables
Amplifier Output Distorted Music
Verify:
A. Source output music to amplifier is not distorted
B. Source output sensitivity is correctly adjusted
Amplifier Shuts Down, Green LED’s are Lit - Amplifier is in Thermal Protection Mode
Verify:
A. Amplifier is mounted with adequate air circulation around heatsinks or vents
B. Amplifier is not mounted under carpet or sealed enclosure
C. Speakers meet correct impedance for application (mono or stereo hookup)
 Amplifier Does Not Turn ON, and Red LED is Lit Amplifier (and not Connected to a Shorted Speaker)
Verify:
A. Speaker crossover (if used) is not defective.
