WIRING
We recommend using 16 gauge (or larger) wire. The QSS components are rated at 4 ohms and work
with any source unit or amplifi er designed to operate at a 4 ohm load. Make sure your source unit or
amplifi er is rated for 4 ohm operation.

CROSSOVER CONFIGURATION
The KICKER QSS 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 QSS 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). Install one of the included tweeter output-
level jumpers (0 dB, +3 dB, or +6 dB) to adjust the tweeter output level. Installing jumpers with higher
numbers will result in more volume from the tweeter.
