CX.4-SERIES AMPLIFIERS OWNER’S MANUAL MODEL: CXA360.4 Authorized KICKER Dealer: Purchase Date: Serial Number: WARNING: KICKER products are capable of producing sound levels that can permanently damage your hearing! Turning up a system to a level that has audible distortion is more damaging to your ears than listening to an undistorted system at the same volume level. The threshold of pain is always an indicator that the sound level is too loud and may permanently damage your hearing.
VERTICAL MOUNTING amplifier end panel hex screws double-slotted bracket The CX amplifier has dual input sensitivity differential RCA inputs which will receive either high or low level signals from your car stereo’s source unit. A high-level signal can be run from the source unit’s speaker outputs to the stereo RCA input on the end panel of the amplifier using the KICKER KISL as shown (make sure you set the CX amplifier’s input level switch to “HI”).

OPERATION 6 6 audio inputs Automatic Turn-On Selection: The CX series offers two automatic turn-on modes; +12V and DC Offset. • Remote Turn-On: Run 18 gauge wire from the Remote Turn-On Lead on your source unit to the terminal labeled REM between the amplifier’s positive and negative power terminals. • DC Offset Turn-On: The DC Offset mode detects a >2.5V DC offset from the HI-Level speaker outputs when the source unit has been turned on.
Bass Boost Control: The variable bass boost control on the side of the CXA360.4 amplifier is designed to give you increased output, 0–6dB, at 40Hz. The setting for this control is subjective. If you turn it up, you must readjust the input gain control to avoid clipping the amplifier. Remote Bass-CXARC (not included): With the CXARC remote bass level control, you have the ability to attenuate the output level of AMP2 remotely (AMP2 must be in LO-PASS X-OVER mode).

Ground Noise? KICKER amplifiers 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.
