2007 WX
The WX amplifier outputs dangerous voltage levels from the voice coil (speaker) outputs and can cause serious injury or death from electrocution. Never contact the voice coil outputs, connect speakers, or contact speaker wires while the amplifier is turned on.

Operation
Within the control panel shield, the Kicker WX amplifier has five (5) rotary controls, input jacks for the Remote Bass level control, and input/output jacks for the optional WX control module. The control panel delivers a full range of options for processing the signal that powers your subwoofers. To remove the control panel shield, simply remove the two (2) screws as shown in Figure 5.
1. InputGainControl The input gain control is not a volume control. It matches the output of the source unit to the input level of the amplifier. Please use hearing protection before performing the following procedure. Disconnect the Remote Bass level control and turn the source unit up to about

3/4 volume (if the source unit goes to 30, turn it to 25). Next, slowly turn (clockwise) the gain on the amplifier up until you can hear audible distortion, then turn it down a little.
2.BassBoostControl The bass boost control is designed to give you increased output 0 - 18dB at 40 Hz. The setting for this control is subjective. If you turn it up, you must go back and adjust the input gain control to avoid clipping the amplifier.

5. AdjustableLimiterControl The limiter adjusts the maximum RMS output of the Warhorse. If your |
vehicle’s charging system is inadequate to provide full power to the WX series amplifier, adjust the limiter |
control clockwise to reduce the amplifier’s power consumption and maintain an operational level that will |
protect your subwoofer(s) from damage. If the <VOLT LED is on and the amplifier is frequently shutting |

6. RemoteBass(Level Control) With the remote bass level control, you have the ability to control the |
level of the subwoofer(s) remotely. To mount the remote bass level control, simply screw the metal |
bracket to the chosen location. Then slide the housing onto the bracket until it snaps into place. Run |

the cable from the controller to the “Remote Bass” jack on the amplifier chassis. See Figure 6. |
7. WarhorseControlModule The optional Warhorse control module opens up a wide range of |
operational possibilities within the Warhorse. The control module can simultaneously control up to 16 |
WX amplifiers and puts additional signal processing features in the palm of your hand. These include |
bandpass crossover with adjustable slopes, limiter adjustment, phase inversion, |
equalization, voltage range adjustment, battery voltage display, tone generator, and individual amplifier |
muting. Contact your Kicker dealer for more information about the Warhorse control module and its |
features. It is necessary to purchase the control module to access the full range of possibilities available |
from your Kicker Warhorse amplifier. |
