Automatic Turn-On Selection: KICKER powered enclosures offer two different automatic turn-on modes that
can be selected on the side panel; +12V and DC Offset. Using the DC Offset mode causes the REM terminal to
have +12V out for turning on additional amplifi ers.
• 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 on the quick-
connect wiring harness.
• 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 DC offset from the HI-Level speaker outputs when the source unit has been turned on.
Phase Switch: The phase switch lets you invert the phase of the signal played through your powered
subwoofer. This is useful if the speakers in your system are out of phase with the subwoofer. Toggle this switch
to fi nd the position that gives you the best bass response.
Input Level: The inputs on KICKER powered enclosures are capable of receiving either Hi (speaker-level) or
Low-level (RCA) signals from your source unit. Set the Input Level switch on the side panel to match the outputs
of your source unit.
Crossover Control: The variable crossover on the side panel allows you to adjust the crossover frequency from
50–120Hz. 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 level of the source unit
to the input sensitivity of the amplifi er. Maximum power out of the amplifi er is possible with the gain in the lowest
position. Incorrectly setting the gain can result in distorted output or damage to, and premature failure of, your
speakers. For a quick setup, turn the source unit up to about 3/4 volume (if the source unit goes to 30, turn it to
25). Slowly turn up (clockwise) the gain on the amplifi er until you can hear audible distortion, then turn it down a
little.
Bass Boost Control: The variable bass boost control on the side panel is designed to give you increased
output (0–6dB) 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 powered enclosure's amplifi er.
Remote Bass Control: With the included remote bass control, you have the ability to control the output level
of your powered enclosure remotely. When plugged into the enclosure, the remote bass attenuates the gain level
of the signal. To mount the 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 your powered enclosure's side panel. DO NOT disconnect the remote bass control
when the amplifi er is on!
