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 power harness. 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 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 of the source unit to
the input level of the powered enclosure's amplifi er. Turn the source unit up to about 3/4 volume (if the source
unit goes to 30, turn it to 25). Next, slowly turn the gain on the powered enclosure up (clockwise) 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 control bypasses and
takes the place of the gain control on the side panel. 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!
