Navigation

On your Kicker amplifier there are three rotary controls on top and one switch on the end panel. These controls ensure the reli- ability and performance of the amplifier, so they need to be set correctly.

CROSSOVER SWITCH

NEVER CHANGE THE CROSSOVER SWITCH SETTING WITH

THE SYSTEM ON!

The 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. Use the LO position when connected to a subwoofer. The HI position should be selected when connected to any speakers which you do not want to receive sub-bass information.

BEFORE TURNING ON THE SYSTEM FOR THE FIRST TIME, MAKE SURE THAT THE THREE ROTARY CONTROLS ON TOP OF THE AMPLIFIER ARE

TURNED FULLY COUNTER-CLOCKWISE!

GAIN CONTROL

Remember, the gain control is not a volume control, it matches the output of the head unit to the input level of the amplifier and must be adjusted properly for best performance. All the way up or down is not necessarily the best.Turn the head unit up to about 3/4 volume. (eg. If the head unit goes to 30, turn it to 25.) Next, turn (clockwise) the gain on the amplifier up slowly until you can hear audible distortion, then turn it down just a little.

Crossover Control

Where you set the crossover is very subjective and can be fine tuned to match your listening preference or speaker requirements.

Bass Boost

The BASS BOOST control is designed to give you increased output at 40 Hz. The setting for this control is subjective, however, if you turn it up, you must go back and adjust the gain control to avoid clipping the amplifier.
