INSTALLATION

USING THE REMOTE BASS LEVEL CONTROL & BLAST

You can use the Remote Bass Level Control to control the output of your amplifier from the front of the car.

Mount the controller by simply screwing the metal bracket to the chosen location and then slide the housing onto the bracket until it snaps into place.

Route the cable from the controller to the BLAST input jack on the amplifier chassis. That’s it.

If you wish to control more than one amplifier with your remote, you will simply need to use a RJ45 cable (not supplied but available at any Radio Shack, computer store or electronics center) to connect the BLAST output jack of the first amp to the BLAST input jack of the next amplifier.

Your KICKER SX series amplifier uses the latest in Digital DSP control and provides you with valuable operational informa- tion about your amplifier, real-time diagnostics and a full multi-level menu-driven operating system to access and adjust your amplifier.

The menu system is designed in layers. There is a starting point and you keep drilling down until you get to the menu item you want to view or change. This menu tree is an example of how the SX menu structure is set up.

NOTE: Not all the menus and menu items are shown below.

As you can see there can be an infinite number of menu levels and each one of these menu levels can have an infinite number of its own items.

Navigating this simple menu

structure is very easy using the 5-way ESC HOME ENT keypad.

You use the UP and DOWN keys to scroll through the available menu items, and the ENT key is used to select that menu item. The ESC key backs you up one menu level from where you are, and the HOME key can return you all the way to MAIN MENU by pressing and holding it for 1.5 seconds.

For example let’s begin at the DEFAULT SCREEN; our goal is to get to the HISTORY menu. Pressing the ENT key would get us to MAIN MENU. Now use the UP and

DOWN keys to scroll to SYSTEM, and

then press the ENT key. Now you are in the SYSTEM MENU. Using the UP and ESC DOWN keys again you scroll to SICK

BAY and press the ENT key. You are now in the SICK

BAY MENU. Use the UP and DOWN

keys again to scroll to HISTORY and then press the ENT key. That’s it! You are

there.

This is how you view information

and change settings in your KICKER SX amplifier.
