Congratulations on your
KICKER purchase
Please record your purchase
information and keep your sales
receipt for validation of warranty.
Installation
. . . as easy as 1, 2, 3
1. Mounting Choose a structurally sound location to mount your Kicker amplifier. The controls on the
top of the amplifier need to be accessible for adjustment. Make sure there are no items behind the area
where the screws will be driven. Choose a location that allows at least 4" (10cm) of open ventilation for
the amplifier. If possible, mount the amplifier in the climate-controlled passenger compartment. Drill four
holes using a 7/64" (3mm) bit and use the supplied #8 screws to mount the amplifier.
2. Wiring Disconnect the vehicle's battery to avoid an electrical short. Then connect the ground wire
to the amplifier. Make the ground wire short, 24" (60cm) or less, and connect it to a paint-and
corrosion-free solid-metal area of the vehicle's chassis. Adding an additional ground wire between the
battery's negative post and the vehicle chassis of this same gauge (or larger) is recommended.
Use a twisted pair of RCA (low-level)
interconnect cable to feed the audio signal
to the amplifier. Only use speaker wire
(high-level) inputs if your source unit does
not have RCA type outputs. Either input
method will provide a low-level output
signal at the RCA output, which effectively
passes the audio signal to another
amplifier or component (P.A.S.T.). Keep
the RCA cable away from factory wiring
harnesses and other power wiring. If you
need to cross this wiring, cross it at a 90
degree angle.
Install the provided external fuse within
18" (45cm) of the ZX amplifier and in-line
with the power cable. Install a second fuse within 18" (45cm) of the battery and in-line with the power
cable connected to your amplifier.
These ZX series mono amplifiers deliver Kilo-Watts of power. We recommend an alternator with a
minimum 140 ampere output capacity, at least one extra battery located within 50" (130cm) to the
amplifier, an extra fuse located within 18" (45cm) of the extra battery, all power and ground feeds to be
as short as possible, and utilize 12, 10 or 8 gauge speaker wire. See Figure 2. If you ever need to
remove the amplifier from the vehicle after it has been installed, the ground wire should be the last wire
disconnected from the amplifier--just the opposite as when you installed it. See the chart below for
power and ground wire size, and
ModelZX1000.1
fusing recommendations.

3. Configuration The following diagram shows the most common configuration for your Kicker ZX
series amplifier.
OneChannelOperation These ZX amplifiers are capable of operating into a minimum impedance
of 2 ohms. If you are using multiple voice coils, the net impedance of the voice coils must be equal to
or greater than 2 ohms.
