KX.1-SERIES AMPLIFIERS OWNER’S MANUAL MODEL: KXA400.1 | KXA800.1 | KXA1200.1 KXA1600.1 | KXA2400.1 IMPORTANT SAFETY WARNING PROLONGED CONTINUOUS OPERATION OF AN AMPLIFIER, SPEAKER, OR SUBWOOFER IN A DISTORTED, CLIPPED OR OVER-POWERED MANNER CAN CAUSE YOUR AUDIO SYSTEM TO OVERHEAT, POSSIBLY CATCHING FIRE AND RESULTING IN SERIOUS DAMAGE TO YOUR COMPONENTS AND/OR VEHICLE. AMPLIFIERS REQUIRE UP TO 4 INCHES (10CM) OPEN VENTILATION. SUBWOOFERS SHOULD BE MOUNTED WITH AT LEAST 1 INCH (2.
source unit high-level speaker outputs KICKER KISL (optional) to amplifier core conductor + OR – to amplifier shield from source unit highlevel speaker outputs Install a fuse within 18” (45cm) of the battery and in-line with the power cable connected to your amplifier. If you ever need to remove the amplifier from the vehicle after it has been installed, the ground wire should be the last wire disconnected from the amplifier--just the opposite as when you installed it.
For multiple amplifier installations where distribution blocks are used, each amplifier should have its proper-rated fuse, or breaker, installed between the amplifier and the distribution block within eighteen inches of the block, or on the distribution block if it provides for fusing.
OPERATION Mini-USB for internal use only; do NOT remove or tamper. KICKER is not responsible for any damage to equipment resulting from connections made to this port. A PAIRING GAIN MATCH Automatic Turn-On Selection: The KX series offers three different automatic turn-on modes that can be selected on the end panel; +12V, DC Offset, and Audio. Using either the DC Offset or Audio mode causes the REM terminal to have +12V out for turning on additional amplifiers.
GAIN MATCHING In any audio system, the goal is to reach maximum input and output levels without distortion or clipping. The engineers at KICKER have taken the guesswork, and hassle, out of matching the output voltage of your source unit to the amplifier with the Gain Matching feature. To begin, you’ll need to download the KICKER test tones from www.kicker.com/test-tones.

KXARC REMOTE OPERATION BLUETOOTH® PAIRING To place the KXARC in pairing mode, insert a pin, paperclip or other available skinny, pointy object into the inconspicuous little hole on the back of the remote and press for 1 second. If the KXA amplifier is also in pairing mode, the devices will connect. Your KXARC will stay in pairing mode to connect to the next amp. Pairing button Pairing mode will time out after 30 seconds, or you may press the pairing button again.
GAIN SHOC PHASE CLIP Press the KXARC knob to cycle through GAIN, SHOC, PHASE, and CLIP settings, then rotate the knob to adjust the corresponding values. The KXARC supports up to 4 KICKER KXA amplifiers featuring a subwoofer channel. Gain: The KXARC gain control is a gain attenuator from -26dB to 0dB. This will allow you to conveniently adjust the gain of the subwoofer channel on the fly, with the maximum being the gain setting you’ve selected on the KXA amplifier side panel.
around the amplifier. oAmplifier shuts down only while vehicle is running = voltage protection circuitry is engaged. Voltage to the amplifier is not within the 10–16 volt operating range. Have the vehicle’s charging and electrical system inspected. pAmplifier will only play at low volume levels = short circuit protection is engaged. Check for speaker wires shorted to each other or to the vehicle chassis. Check for damaged speakers or speaker(s) operating below the minimum recommended impedance.
