{fKICKER CX.4-SERIES AMPLIFIERS OWNER'S MANUAL 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 li stening 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").

Input Level: The RCA inputs on KICKER CX amplifiers are capable of receiving either Hi or Low-level signals from your source unit. If the only output available from your source unit is a Hi-Level signal, simply press in the Input Level switch on the amplifier. Refer to the wiring section of this manual for additional instructions. Crossover Switch: Use the XOVER switch on the end panel of the amplifier to set the internal crossover to OFF, HI or LO.
Reduced bass response? Reverse a speaker connection from positive to negative on the stereo/subwoofer channel(s); if the bass improves, the speaker was out of phase. 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.
