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 amplifier until you can hear
audible distortion, then turn it down a little.
To use the preferred method of setting the
input gain using a voltmeter or oscilloscope,
begin by turning off the amplifier and
disconnecting all speakers from it. Turn the
gain knob completely off (counterclockwise)
and all crossovers off, or to their least
effective setting. Turn off bass boost. If a
remote bass accessory is connected to the
amplifier, turn it completely on (clockwise).
Ensure all EQ and DSP settings on the
source unit such as bass, treble, fader,
seating position etc are set to linear, flat,
center, or off. Turn on the amplifier. Play a
0dB sine wave through your source unit
and increase the volume to about 3/4
of maximum. Sine wave tracks can be
downloaded for free from KICKER.com
under the "Support" tab. Use the 50Hz sine
wave to set the gain for a subwoofer and
the 1kHz sine wave for full-range speakers.
