Installation Mounting When selecting a location to mount your Kicker amplifier be sure it is structurally sound and that there are no items behind the area where the screws will be driven that could be damaged. Check for wire harnesses, brake lines, fuel lines, gas tanks, etc. Now that you are ready to mount your amplifier, use the supplied 3mm allen wrench to remove the amplifier EndKap. This will give you access to the mounting holes in the amplifier and all wiring connections.
Signal can be input into the amplifier using either the low level RCA input connections or the high level (speaker level) input connections. Using the low level RCA connections is the preferred method. Use the high level inputs only if your source unit does not have low level RCA type outputs. WARNING-Use Only One...
Installation System Diagrams The following diagrams show the most common configurations for your Kicker KX series amplifier. BRIDGED OPERATION (MONO) KX.2 series amplifiers are capable of operating into a minimum impedance of 4 ohms when in bridged operation. TWO CHANNEL OPERATION (STEREO) These KX amplifiers are capable of operating into a minimum impedance of 2 ohms per channel in stereo operation. Modern high performance speakers have a lower DC Resistance than what used to be available.
Your Kicker amplifier has two rotary controls and one switch on the end panel. These controls ensure the reliability and performance of the amplifier, so they need to be set correctly. CROSSOVER SWITCH NEVER CHANGE THE CROSSOVER “OFF/HI/LOW” SWITCH SETTING WITH THE AUDIO SYSTEM ON! The crossover switch located on the end panel next to the RCA jacks is for setting the internal crossover. In the OFF position the amplifier passes a full-range signal to the speakers.
Trouble Shooting Help If your amplifier does not appear to be working, check the obvious things first such as blown fuses, poor or incorrect wiring connections, incorrect setting of crossover switch and gain controls, etc. There are two LEDs on the end panel of your Kicker KX series amplifier, one green and one red. When the green LED is lit this indicates the amplifier is turned on and no trouble exists.
Trouble Shooting Poor stereo image or reduced bass response: Check system phasing by turning the balance control from left to right. If there is more bass output when turned to either side, then check your speaker wiring, passive crossover networks and speaker terminals for proper positive and negative connections. Reverse a connection on one channel, if necessary. CAUTION: When jump starting the vehicle, be sure that connections made with jumper cables are correct.
