Adjusting Amplifier Controls
On your Kicker amplifier there are three rotary controls on top and one switch
on the end panel. These controls ensure the reliability and performance of the
amplifier, so they need to be set correctly.
SUBSONIC FILTER SWITCH
NEVER CHHANGE THE SUBSONIC
FILTER SWITCHH SETTING WITH THE SYSTEM ON!
The switch located on the end panel next to the RCA jacks is for the subsonic
filter. It is 12db/octave set at 25 Hz. All KX.1 amplifiers come with a full-time
variable lowpass crossover selectable from 50 Hz - 200 Hz.
BEFORE TURNING ON THE SYSTEM FOR THE FIRST TIME, MAKE SURE THAT
THE THREE ROTARY COONTROLS ON TOP OF THE AMPLIFIER ARE
TURNED FULLY COOUNTER-CLLOCKKWISE!
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.
