Installation

1.Mounting Choose a structurally sound location to mount your Kicker ampliﬁer. Make sure there are no items behind the area where the screws will be driven. Choose a location that allows at least 4” (10cm) of open ventilation for the ampliﬁer. If possible, mount the ampliﬁer in the climate-controlled passenger compartment. Drill four holes using a 7/64” (3mm) bit and use the supplied #8 screws to mount the ampliﬁer.

2.Wiring Disconnect the vehicle’s battery to avoid an electrical short. Then, connect the ground wire to the ampliﬁer. Make the ground wire short, 24” (60cm) or less, and connect it to a paint and corrosion free solid metal area of the vehicle's chassis. Adding an additional ground wire of this same gauge (or larger) between the battery's negative post and the vehicle chassis is recommended.

CONFIGURATION

The ZX ampliﬁer has dual input sensitivity differential RCA inputs which will receive either high or low level signals from your car stereo’s source unit. Ideally, when connecting the source unit to the ampliﬁer, the ZX ampliﬁer’s input level switch should be set to “LO” and a low-level signal should run from the source unit’s stereo RCA output to the stereo RCA input on the end panel of the ampliﬁer using RCA interconnect cable. If a low-level stereo RCA output is not available on the source unit, the signal can be delivered to the ampliﬁer using the high-level speaker outputs on the source unit. Set the input level switch on the end panel of the ampliﬁer to “HI”. Crimp and solder RCA connectors to the end of the speaker wire running from the high-level speaker outputs on the source unit and connect the wire to the RCA Inputs on the end panel of the ampliﬁer as shown in Figure 1. Either input method will provide a low-level output signal at the RCA output, which effectively passes the audio signal to another ampliﬁer or component. Keep the audio signal cable away from factory wiring harnesses and other power wiring. If you need to cross this wiring, cross it at a 90 degree angle.

Install a fuse within 18” (45cm) of the battery and in-line with the 8 gauge 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. See the fuse chart for power and ground wire size, and fusing recommendations.

ZX300.1 specifications

The Kicker ZX300.1 is a robust monoblock car amplifier designed to deliver substantial power and performance, making it a favorite among car audio enthusiasts. With a power output of 300 watts RMS at 2 ohms, this amplifier is designed to seamlessly drive subwoofers while maintaining clarity and control.

One of the standout features of the ZX300.1 is its Class D technology. This design allows for higher efficiency, meaning it produces more power with less heat output compared to conventional Class AB amplifiers. This efficiency not only ensures that the amplifier runs cooler but also maximizes the available power, allowing users to get the most out of their audio system without risking overheating.

The amplifier is equipped with a variable low-pass filter that ranges from 40 to 120 Hz. This function allows users to finely tune their system for optimal sound reproduction, ensuring that only the desired bass frequencies are sent to the subwoofer. Furthermore, its bass boost feature, adjustable from 0 to 18 dB at 40 Hz, enables users to enhance their low-end performance for a fuller sound experience.

Installation and setup are made easy with the ZX300.1’s compact design, which fits into tight spaces within vehicles. The amplifier’s durable construction ensures long-lasting performance, while its sleek, minimalist look allows it to blend seamlessly with any car interior.

Another feature of the Kicker ZX300.1 is its variable input level control, allowing users to match the amplifier’s input sensitivity with the source unit for optimal performance. The amplifier is also equipped with a remote bass level control option, which provides added convenience by allowing users to adjust bass levels from the driver's seat.

With its combination of power, efficiency, and flexibility, the Kicker ZX300.1 is a solid choice for anyone looking to enhance their car audio system. Whether you’re an audiophile seeking high-quality sound or a casual listener who just wants to add some extra bass, this amplifier delivers a performance that is both powerful and precise, ensuring an enjoyable listening experience on the road.
