The BLAST Port is used to connect the Remote Bass Level

Controller and for transferring control signals from one SX amplifier to another SX amplifier. An RJ45 cable is required to connect the BLAST Port (Out) of one amp to the BLAST Port

(In) of another. This is only required if you want to control more than one amplifier with the same Bass Level Controller.

More details on this further in the manual.

The speaker terminals are custom-machined connectors with full protective shrouds and are designed to accept heavy gauge speaker wire assures maximum power transfer and damping with minimal power loss.

Gold-plated RCA input connectors and PAST jacks provide solid input and output connections for your pre-amp signal.

BLAST Port In BLAST Port Out

Custom-machined power block accepts up to a 2 Ga wire for both power and ground connections and up to an 8 Ga for remote turn-on assures maximum power transfer with minimal loss.

On-board fusing (number of fuses vary by amp size) to protect amplifier against over current conditions and reverse polarity.

Power LED indicates amplifier is powered up and operating.

Check Fuse LED indicates a fault with the end panel fuses.

This could be fuses which are not seated properly, faulty fuses or blown fuses.

NOTE...

Mounting

Remove Remove

When selecting a location to mount your Kicker amplifier be sure it is structurally sound and that there are no items behind the area that could be damaged by the screws. Check for wiring, brake lines, fuel lines, gas tanks, etc.

All amplifiers generate heat under normal operation. Be sure to choose a location that allows adequate ventilation for the amplifier. Also consider that the air temperature inside an automobile’s trunk can reach upwards of 140 degrees fahrenheit. An amplifier mounted in the trunk may require additional cooling such as extra fans moving air around the amplifier’s chassis or ventilating the trunk to exchange the hot air in the trunk for cooler air outside. If possible, mounting the amp in the passenger compartment will allow cooler operation.

Remember that the controls on top of the amp will need to be accessible for adjustment later. Keep this in mind as you choose your amplifier’s mounting location.

Now that you are ready to mount your amplifier, use the supplied 3mm allen wrench to remove the amplifier EndKaps.

This will give you access to the mounting holes in the amplifier and all wiring connections.

Wiring

Signal is input into the amplifier using the low level RCA input connections. If your source unit does not have RCA output connectors you will need to use a Hi-Lo level signal adapter. See your Kicker dealer for more details on this.

The output (PAST) RCA jacks provide an unaltered signal output to feed another amplifier or component.

SOURCE UNIT

The ground should be connected to the amplifier first before making any of the other connections. This wire should be as short as possible (24 inches or less) and connected to a paint/corrosion free solid metal area of the car’s chassis. Use the same gauge wire as recommended for the amplifier’s power connection to the battery. Adding an additional ground wire between the car battery’s negative post and the car chassis of this same gauge (or larger) is also recommended.

If you ever need to remove the amp from the vehicle after it has been installed, the ground wire should be the last wire disconnected from the amplifier, just the opposite of when you installed it.

A fuse must be installed within 18 inches of the battery to protect the power wire feeding your amplifier. This fuse should be of at least the same value used in the amplifier but no higher than the capacity of the power wire. See the charts below for wire size and fusing recommendations.

The use of twisted pair interconnects is recommended for all installations to minimize noise. When routing these cables through the automobile, try to keep them away from factory wiring harnesses and other power wiring. If you need to cross any of this wiring do so at a 90 degree angle to reduce the possibility for noise problems.

When working with power connections it is always recommended that you disconnect the battery to prevent accidents.

AMPLIFIER STRAPPING

SX.1 series amplifiers are capable of being strapped together to provide twice the power into twice their rated minimum impedance. Only like model amps can be strapped together. In other words, the SX650.1 can only be strapped to another SX650.1 and the SX1250.1 can only be strapped to another SX1250.1.

NOTE...

4 ohm minimum impedance for SX650.1 when strapped.

2 ohm minimum impedance for SX1250.1 when strapped.

1.) Wire both amplifiers to 12 volt power, ground and remote.

2.) Connect a RCA cable from the source unit to the RCA

Input jacks on the primary amp.

3.) Use the supplied 1/8 inch mono cable to connect the

Amp Strapping Out jack of the primary amplifier to the

Amp Strapping In jack of the secondary amplifier.

4.) Use a short piece of heavy gauge wire (12Ga, 10Ga, 8Ga) to connect the Speaker negative terminals of both amps together.

5.) The primary amplifier’s positive terminal is used for the positive speaker connections.

6.) The secondary amplifier’s positive terminal is used for the negative speaker connections.

USING THE SIGNAL OUTPUT JACKS (PAST)

The Output (Pre Amp Signal Transfer) RCA jacks allow you to send the incoming signal from one Kicker SX series amplifier to another amplifier or processor without the need for Y cables. The signal from the PAST jacks is identical to the signal fed to the amplifier via its RCA input jacks and is not affected by any of the amplifier’s built-in digital signal processing.

Most head units with high voltage outputs should be capable of driving up to ten amplifiers in a chain.

USING THE REMOTE BASS LEVEL CONTROL & BLAST

You can use the Remote Bass Level Control to control the output of your amplifier from the front of the car.

Mount the controller by simply screwing the metal bracket to the chosen location and then slide the housing onto the bracket until it snaps into place.

Route the cable from the controller to the BLAST input jack on the amplifier chassis. That’s it.

If you wish to control more than one amplifier with your remote, you will simply need to use a RJ45 cable (not supplied but available at any Radio Shack, computer store or electronics center) to connect the BLAST output jack of the first amp to the BLAST input jack of the next amplifier.

In more general terms, each preset offers you these options.

Memory-1 sets the amplifier up with a 24 dB per octave low-pass crossover at 80 Hz and an infrasonic filter (often called subsonic filter) to protect the speakers from harmful ultra-low frequencies.

Memory-2 sets the amplifier up with a 24 dB per octave low-pass crossover at 80 Hz, an infrasonic filter (often called subsonic filter) to protect the speakers from harmful ultra-low frequencies and a 6 dB bass boost at 40 Hz.

Memory-3 sets the amplifier up with a 24 dB per octave low-pass crossover at 80 Hz, an infrasonic filter (often called subsonic filter) to protect the speakers from harmful ultra-low frequencies, a 6 dB bass boost at 40 Hz and sets the

Kompressor into CONTOUR mode.

Memory-4 sets the amplifier up with a 24 dB per octave low-pass crossover at 80 Hz, an infrasonic filter (often called subsonic filter) to protect the speakers from harmful ultra-low frequencies, a 6 dB bass boost at 40 Hz and sets the

Kompressor into RED-LINE mode.

As stated before you can always start with one of these presets, tweak it to fit your installation and then save your settings into a new preset.

Troubleshooting

If your amplifier does not appear to be working, check obvious things first such as blown fuses, poor or incorrect wiring connections, crossovers set improperly, gain controls improperly set, etc.

¬

Substitute known good source unit.

;

If amp does not make noise using PINK NOISE then:

¬

Check speaker connections.

¬

Test speaker outputs with known good speaker.

32

There are two LEDs on the end panel of your KICKER SX series amplifier, one green and one red. The green LED indicates the amplifier is turned on. The red LED indicates that there is a fault condition with the end panel fuses and they need checked.

The power indicator on top of the amplifier which illuminates the model badge follows the same function as the green LED.

€ Green LLED o

¬

With a Volt Ohm Meter (VOM) check:

¬

+ 12 volt power terminal (should read +12V to +16V).

¬

Remote turn-on terminal (should read +12V to +16V).

¬

Ground terminal to chassis ground (should read 0).

€ Green LLED o

¬

Check amp status in SICK BAY.

¬

Check GAIN RANGE in SYSTEM menu.

¬

Check GAIN LEVEL in GAIN menu.

¬

Check if MUTE is activated.

¬

Test amp using PINK NOISE in SICK BAY menu.

;

If amp makes noise using PINK NOISE then:

¬

Check RCA cable and connections.

¬

Check for signal on RCA cable with VOM in AC position.

€ Other SSymptoms:

;

Amp is very hot, no output.

¬

Thermal protection is engaged. Check SICK BAY to verify. Check for proper impedance at speaker terminals. Also check for adequate airflow around amplifier.

;

Amp shuts down while vehicle is running.

¬

Over Voltage protection engaged. Check SICK BAY to verify. Voltage to the amplifier is not within the

9-16 volt operating range. Have automobile charging/electrical system inspected.

;

Amp only plays at low volume levels.

¬

Short circuit protection engaged. Check SICK BAY to verify. Check for speaker wires shorted to each other or the vehicle chassis. Damaged speakers or operating amplifier below minimum recommended impedance will also cause this.

;

Weak bass output.

¬

Change the phase of the LEFT channel in the PHASE menu. If bass improves then one speaker channel is out of phase (polarity). You can leave PHASE changed for this channel to fix the problem or better yet;

Check speaker connections to amp and speakers to determine which one is wrong and correct. Be sure to set the PHASE of the LEFT channel back to original setting after correcting wiring connections.

SX .1 Series Amplifiers

€ Alternator n (whining sound that varies with engine RPM):

¬

Check for damaged RCA cables.

¬

Check routing of RCA cable.

¬

Check source unit for good ground.

¬

Check GAIN RANGE in SYSTEM menu, turn down if set too high.

¬

Check GAIN in MAIN MENU, turn down if set too high.

CAUTION: When jump-starting the vehicle, be sure that connections made with jumper cables are correct. Improper connections (+ to - & - to +) will result in blown amplifier fuses as well as failure to other systems in the vehicle.

Kompressor

Here is a brief explanation of each KOMPRESSOR setting.

Contour

- This preset applies expansion below the threshold point to provide a fuller sound at lower volume levels. Effect decreases at higher volume levels. Nice effect for someone wanting a fuller sound at low to moderate listening levels.

ATTACK

- This preset applies expansion above the threshold point to provide a nice quick punch or attack to the music.

Effect increase with higher volume levels. Like music with a quick and punchy sound? Give this one a try.

Red-line

- Provides a quick clamp to dynamic peaks while still allowing a full sound to come through. Effect increases at higher volume levels. Like to play it loud but want to protect your speakers? Want low level details to come through over road noise? Want a more even volume level to your music? All can be achieved with this preset.

OFF

- Pretty much says it all. This turns the KOMPRESSOR off. This is the factory default setting.

After selecting your KOMPRESSOR setting you can adjust its effect using the KOMPRESSOR ADJUSTMENT (

KOMP ADJ.

) setting located in the SYSTEM menu. There you can change the threshold point for each of these settings to customize the KOMPRESSOR effect to fit your speakers, car or personal tastes.

The possibilities are almost endless! Tweak away!

WARNING:

SX .1 Series Amplifiers

KICKER drivers are capable of producing sound levels that can permanently damage your hearing! Turning up a system to a level that has audible distortion is more damaging to your ears than listening to an undistorted system at the same volume level. The threshold of pain is always an indicator that the sound level is too loud and may permanently damage your hearing.

Please use common sense when controlling volume!
