Automatic Turn-On Selection: The
DX
series offers two automatic turn-on modes; + 12V and DC Offset.
• Remote Turn-On: 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.
• DC Offset Turn-On: The DC Offset mode detects a 6V DC offset from the HI-Level speaker outputs when
the source unit has been turned on.
Input Level: The RCA inputs on KICKER
DX
amplifiers 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 wiring section of this manual for additional instructions.
Crossover Control: The variable crossover on the side of the amplifier allows you
to
adjust the lo-pass
crossover frequency from
50-200Hz.
The setting for this control
is
subjective; 80Hz
is
a good place to start.
Input Gain Control: The input gain control
is
not a volume control.
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,
0-12dB,
at 40Hz. 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-CXARC (sold separately): With the optional CXARC remote bass level control, you have
the ability to control the output level of the amplifier remotely.
To
surface-mount the CXARC remote bass level
control, simply screw the remote to the chosen location, then
run
the cable from the controller to the "Remote
Bass" jack on the amplifier panel.
Do NOT connecVdisconnect while the amplifier
is
on. Connecting the 3.5mm
cable without the remote
will
cause the amplifier to output at
full
gain, possibly damaging your speakers. See
page 6 for installation.
IMPORTANT SAFETY WARNING - PROLONGED CONTINUOUS OPERATION OF AN
AMPLIFIER
IN
A
DISTORTED
OR
CLIPPED MANNER CAN CAUSE YOUR AUDIO SYSTEM TO
OVERHEAT,
POSSIBLY CATCHING
FIRE
AND RESULTING
IN
SERIOUS DAMAGE TO YOUR COMPONENTS AND/OR VEHICLE.
KICKER
PRODUCTS
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.
