Automatic Turn-On Selection: The KXM series offers three different automatic turn-on modes that can be
selected; +12V, DC Offset, and Audio. Using either the DC Offset or Audio 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 between the
amplifi er's positive and negative power terminals. 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 6V DC offset from the HI-Level speaker outputs when the source unit has been turned on.
• Signal Sense Turn-On: The Audio setting is the fi nal alternative for Automatic turn-on. This is a Signal Sense
turn-on method that detects the incoming audio signal from your source unit and automatically turns on the
amp. This turn-on method will not work properly if the input gain control is not set appropriately.
Input Level: The RCA inputs on KICKER KXM 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.
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.
Crossover Controls with Frequency Multiplier Switch: The variable crossover controls on the side of
the amplifi er allow you to set the crossovers to OFF, HI-PASS, LO-PASS or BAND-PASS at frequencies from
10Hz–5,000Hz. The setting for these controls is subjective.
KICK EQ Bass Boost Control: The variable bass boost control on the side of the KXM400.2 amplifi er is
designed to give you increased output, 0–18dB, 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.
