Kicker DX.1 Série Manuel D'utilisation page 5

OPERATION
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 amplifi er'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 amplifi ers 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 amplifi er. Refer to the wiring section of this manual for additional instructions.
Crossover Control: The variable crossover on the side of the amplifi er 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 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 (clockwise) the gain on the amplifi er 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 amplifi er 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 amplifi er.
Remote Bass-CXARC (sold separately): With the optional CXARC remote bass level control, you have
the ability to control the output level of the amplifi er 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 amplifi er panel. Do NOT connect/disconnect while the amplifi er is on. Connecting the 3.5mm
cable without the remote will cause the amplifi er 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.
