Install a fuse within 18" (45cm) of the battery and in-line with the 8 gauge power cable connected
to
your
amplifier.
If
you ever need
to
remove the amplifier from the vehicle after it has been installed, the ground
wire should be the last wire disconnected from the amplifier--just the opposite as when you installed it.
See the fuse chart for
power
and ground wire size, and fusing recommendations.
1.
Mounting Choose a structurally sound location to mount your Kicker amplifier. Make sure there
are no items behind the area where the screws will be driven. Choose a location that allows at least
4" (10cm) of open ventilation for the amplifier.
If
possible, mount the amplifier
in
the climate-controlled
passenger compartment. Drill four holes using a
7/64"
(3mm) bit and use the supplied #8 screws
to
mount the amplifier.
2.
Wiring Disconnect the vehicle's battery to avoid
an
electrical short. Then, connect the ground wire to
the amplifier. Make the ground wire short, 24" (60cm) or less, and connect it to a paint and corrosion free
solid metal area
of
the vehicle's chassis. Adding an additional ground wire of this same gauge (or larger)
between the battery's negative post and the vehicle chassis
is
recommended.
The
LX.
amplifier has dual input sensitivity differential RCA inputs which will receive either high
or
low
level signals from your car stereo's source unit. Ideally, when connecting the source unit to the amplifier,
the
LX.
amplifier's input level switch should be set
to
"LO" and a low-level signal should run from the
source unit's stereo RCA output to the stereo RCA input on the end panel of the amplifier using RCA
interconnect cable. If a low-level stereo RCA output
is
not available on the source unit, the signal can
be delivered to the amplifier using the high-level speaker outputs on the source unit. Set the input level
switch on the end panel of the amplifier to "HI". Crimp and solder RCA connectors to the end
of
the
speaker wire running from the high-level speaker outputs on the source unit and connect the wire
to
the
RCA Inputs on the end panel of the amplifier as shown
in
Figure 1. Either input method will provide a
low-level output signal at the RCA output, which effectively passes the audio signal to another amplifier
or component. Keep the audio signal cable away from factory wiring harnesses and other
power
wiring.
If
you need to cross this wiring, cross it at a 90 degree angle.
3.
Configuration The following diagram shows the most common configurations for your Kicker
LX.
series amplifier.
One Channel Operation These
LX.
amplifiers are capable of operating into a minimum impedance
of
2 ohms.
If
you are using multiple voice coils, the net impedance
of
the voice coils must be equal to or
greater than 2 ohms.
