Automatic Turn-On Selection: The
OX
senes offers three different automatic turn-o mooes that can be
selected on the end panel;
+
12V,
DC Offset. and Audio. Using either the DC Offset or Audio mode causes the
REM
terminal to have +12V out for tunllng on additional amplifiers.
• Remote Turn-On: Set the switch to +12V
to
use the remote turn-on lead from your source unit.
Run
18
gauge wire from the Remote Turn-On Lead on your source unit to the terminal labeled
REM
between the
amplifier's positive and negative power terminals. This
is
the preferred automatic turn-on method.
• DC Offset Turn-On:
If
Remote Turn-On
is
not
an
option, the next best setting
IS
DC Offset The DC Offset
mode detects a
6V
DC offset from the HI-Level speaker outputs when the source unit has been turned
on
• Signal Sense Turn-On The Audio setting
is
the
final
alternative for Automatic turn-on. Tilis
is
a Signal Sense
turn-on method that detects the incoming audio signal from your source unit and automatically turns on the
amp. This turn-on method will not work properly
if
the input gain control
is
not set appropriately.
Input Level: The RCA inputs on
KICKER
DX
ampl!fiers are capable of receiving either
HI
or Low-level signals
from your source unit.
If
the only output available from your source unit
IS
a HI-Level signal, simply press
In
the
Input Level switch on the amplifier. Refer to the winng section of
thiS
manual for additional instructions.
Crossover Control: The vanable crossover on the side of the amplifier allows you to adjust the lo-pass
crossover frequency from 50-200Hz, and the hi-pass crossover from 10-30Hz. The settings for these controls
are subjective; 80Hz
is
a good place to start for the lo-pass crossover, 20Hz
for
the hi-pass.
Input Gain Control: The input gain control
is
not a volume cOlltrol.
It
matches the output of the source unit
to
the input level of the amplifier.
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.
Bass Boost Control: The variable bass boost control on the side of the amplifier
is
designed to give you
increased output,
0-9dB,
at
40
Hz.
The setting for
thiS
control
IS
subjective.
If
you turn
it
up, you must readjust
the input gain control to avoid clipping the amplifier.
Remote Bass-ZXRC: With the ZXRC remote bass level control, you I,ave the ability to control the output
level of the amplifier remotely.
To
mount the ZXRC 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.
