CROSSOVER CONFIGURATION
The KICKER RS crossover can be confi gured as a conventional 2-way crossover by installing the included
INPUT jumper into the - MID + -TW + input terminals as shown in Fig. 2. In this confi guration, the
amplifi ed signal from your source unit or amplifi er should be wired to the + and - terminals indicated on the
INPUT jumper.
The RS crossover can also be confi gured for bi-amp wiring by removing (or simply not installing) the
INPUT jumper. To use the bi-amp confi guration, you must connect two amplifi ed signals to each
crossover (you will need at least four amplifi er channels). Set the tweeter output-level switch to 0 dB, +3
dB, or +6 dB. Higher switch settings will result in more volume from the tweeter.
