Page 7: Troubleshooting
Ground Noise? KICKER amplifi ers are engineered to be fully compatible with all manufacturers’ head units. Some head units may require additional grounding to prevent noise from entering the audio signal. If you are experiencing this problem with your head unit, in most cases running a ground wire from the RCA outputs on the head unit to the chassis will remedy this issue.

Questions and answers
When connecting hideaway to four channel amplifier what connections do I need to do
To connect the Kicker Hideaway HS8 to a four-channel amplifier, follow these steps:
1. Identify the input wires on the Hideaway HS8:
- White and white with black stripe = Left input
- Gray and gray with black stripe = Right input
2. Use the optional KISL speaker wire to RCA adapter to connect these input wires to RCA cables.
3. Connect the RCA cables from the KISL adapter to the RCA output of the four-channel amplifier. Use either the front or rear channel RCA outputs (not both) to feed signal to the Hideaway.
4. Do NOT use a line output converter (LOC) between the amplifier and the Hideaway, as LOCs convert speaker level to RCA level and are not suitable in this case.
5. Connect the blue wire from the Hideaway to the amplifier’s remote turn-on wire or the aftermarket head unit’s amplifier control wire.
6. Route all cables safely away from moving vehicle components like brake, steering, and seat mechanisms.
7. Complete remaining setup steps such as gain and crossover frequency adjustment as described in the manual.
