The Kicker Warhorse amplifier was specifically designed for competition car audio. Sporting 10,000
RMS watts of pure Kicker power, the ultra-high-efficiency design of the WX amplifier revolutionizes
traditional methods of amplification. While most amplifiers use a power supply combined with an
amplification circuit to amplify the audio signal, the Warhorse skips a step by amplifying the audio
signal directly from its patent pending signal-modulated power supply. The signal-modulated power
supply amplifies each polarity of the audio signal separately through its two voice coil outputs to
optimally drive dual-voice coil subwoofers and provide a competitive edge in SPL contests. From gold
plated power connectors and low profile planar transformers to the latest Texas Instruments DSP
technology, no expense was spared to make the Warhorse the most powerful and efficient mono
amplifier in mobile audio.
Installation ...as easy as 1, 2, 3
1.Mounting Choose a structurally sound location to mount your Kicker amplifier. The amplifier should
be mounted as close as possible to the battery network and be electrically isolated from the vehicle
ground. The distance from the battery network to the amplifier should not exceed 48” (122cm). It is
important to mount the amplifier before running any wires or supplying power to the amplifier. The
amplifier secures to the vehicle with an insertable mounting bracket used in combination with two
mounting holes located on the bottom plate of the control panel. You are solely responsible for securely
fastening the WX amplifier in your vehicle.
Before mounting the amplifier, the control panel shield must be removed. The control panel should
remain accessible for adjustment, leaving enough room to access the mounting holes and remove or
attach the control panel shield. 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. After
choosing the best location, secure the mounting bracket to the vehicle. Use the bracket as a template
to drill nine (9) holes with a 3/16” (4.8mm) bit into the appropriate locations. Attach the bracket to the
mounting location with the nine (9) supplied #10 (5mm) screws inserted through the nine (9) included
screw insulators.
Next, slide the amplifier over the mounting bracket and into the mounting slot. Make sure the mounting
bracket is properly inserted into the mounting slot and locate the two mounting holes on the bottom
plate of the control panel. Use the mounting holes as a template and drill two (2) holes using a 3/16”
(4.8mm) bit into the appropriate locations. Secure the bottom plate of the control panel with the two (2)
#10 (5mm) screws.
Caution The Kicker WX amplifier outputs extremely high voltage signals
from the voice coil (speaker) outputs and can cause serious injury or death
from electrocution. It is imperative to read the manual carefully and follow all
of the recommended safety precautions before installing the WX amplifier.
Thepatent pending signal-modulated
design of theWarhorse amplifier is the
most powerfuland efficient design
available in mobile audio, rated at 90%
efficiency at full power with a2ohm load.

2. Wiring Before wiring the Warhorse amplifier, disconnect the vehicle’s batteries to avoid an electrical
short. Eight (8) identical, high-quality, 800-cold-cranking-ampere (cca), 12-volt batteries are
recommended to power the WX amplifier. All power and ground wires should be as short as possible
and utilize 1/0 gauge wire. Remove the wire guide and power hood from the amplifier as shown in
Figure 3. Connect three (3) ground wires from the amplifier’s negative power connector to the negative
terminals of three (3) batteries in the battery network.
From two (2) of the batteries in the battery network, connect 1/0 gauge ground wire from the negative
terminals of the batteries to a paint-free and corrosion-free solid-metal area of the vehicle's chassis.
Make the ground wires short, 18” (45cm) or less. To reduce noise, make sure the ground wires connect
to the same piece of metal and are within 18” (45cm) of each other.
With the control panel shield removed, connect a twisted pair of RCA (low-level) interconnect cable,
carrying the incoming audio signal, to the RCA inputs on the amplifier. Connect the speaker wires to the
supplied AndersonTM connectors. Use 8 gauge wire and strip 9/16” (14mm) from the end being
inserted into the metal contacts. See Figure 5. The wire should be secured by placing the metal contact
into a vise and melting solder inside the metal contact. Then, insert the stripped wire into the molten
solder within the contact. Do not use acid core solder.
The Warhorse amplifier requires at least two (2) 200-ampere-output-capacity alternators. For each
alternator, connect a 250 ampere fuse within 18” (45cm) of each alternator and a second 250 ampere
fuse within 18” (45cm) of the battery network. Without adequate charging capability, the WX amplifier
can draw enough current to shut down your vehicle’s computer system. This may adversely affect your
ability to control your vehicle. See Figure 4.
The three (3) positive 1/0 gauge power wires should be the last wires connected in the installation.
Install the supplied Kicker three (3) gang ANL fuse holder within 18” (45cm) of the battery network and
in-line with the three (3) power cables connected to the amplifier’s positive power connector. Improper
connections will damage the amplifier and/or cause serious injury or death. If you ever need to remove
the amplifier from the vehicle after it has been installed, the ground wires should be the last wires
disconnected from the amplifier, just the opposite as when you installed it. See Figure 4.

Operation
Within the control panel shield, the Kicker WX amplifier has five (5) rotary controls, input jacks for the
Remote Bass level control, and input/output jacks for the optional WX control module. The control
panel delivers a full range of options for processing the signal that powers your subwoofers. To remove
the control panel shield, simply remove the two (2) screws as shown in Figure 5.
1.InputGainControl The input gain control is not a volume control. It matches the output of the
source unit to the input level of the amplifier. Please use hearing protection before performing the
following procedure.Disconnect the Remote Bass level control and 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
amplifier up until you can hear audible distortion, then turn it down a little.
2. BassBoostControl The bass boost control is designed to give you increased output 0 - 18dB
at 40 Hz. The setting for this control is subjective. If you turn it up, you must go back and adjust the
input gain control to avoid clipping the amplifier.
3.HighPassSubsonicCrossover The variable high-pass crossover located on the control panel
utilizes a 24dB per octave 20 - 60Hz high-pass crossover. The setting for this control is subjective but
should be adjusted to appropriately accommodate your enclosure in order to prevent damage from high
excursion and increase the power handling of the subwoofer(s).
4. LowPassCrossover The variable low-pass crossover located on the control panel utilizes a
24dB per octave 50 - 200Hz low-pass filter. The setting for this control is subjective; 80 Hz is a good
place to start.
5. AdjustableLimiterControl The limiter adjusts the maximum RMS output of the Warhorse. If your
vehicle’s charging system is inadequate to provide full power to the WX series amplifier, adjust the limiter
control clockwise to reduce the amplifier’s power consumption and maintain an operational level that will
protect your subwoofer(s) from damage. If the <VOLT LED is on and the amplifier is frequently shutting
down due to under voltage, try turning the limiter control up (clockwise) until this is no longer a problem.
6. RemoteBass(Level Control) With the remote bass level control, you have the ability to control the
level of the subwoofer(s) remotely. 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 the amplifier chassis. See Figure 6.
7. WarhorseControlModule The optional Warhorse control module opens up a wide range of
operational possibilities within the Warhorse. The control module can simultaneously control up to 16
WX amplifiers and puts additional signal processing features in the palm of your hand. These include
bandpass crossover with adjustable slopes, limiter adjustment, phase inversion, single-band parametric
equalization, voltage range adjustment, battery voltage display, tone generator, and individual amplifier
muting. Contact your Kicker dealer for more information about the Warhorse control module and its
features. It is necessary to purchase the control module to access the full range of possibilities available
from your Kicker Warhorse amplifier.

4. >VOLT LEDon/off The Over Voltage LED turns on when the voltage supplied to the amplifier
exceeds 16 volts and the muted safe mode has been activated. After the voltage supply drops below
15.5 volts, the amplifier will automatically turn back on.
5. X-BNDW LEDon/off Because of the combined high pass and low pass filters built into the
rotary control section of the amplifier, it is possible to cause a reduction in output by adjusting the
bandwidth too narrow or overlapping the high and low pass crossover frequencies. The X-BNDW LED
turns on if this has occurred and is causing a reduction in output.
6. >TEMP LEDon/off If the temperature of the amplifier’s heatsink exceeds 158F (70C), it will
activate the muted safe mode. When the temperature decreases to 149F (65C), the amplifier will
automatically turn back on. If this LED is on, turn the amplifier off and test resistance at the speaker
terminals with a digital multimeter (see Figure 6 in this manual for multiple speaker wiring suggestions).
Also, check for adequate airflow around the amplifier.
7. Short LEDon/off The short LED will light up if the electrical current coming out of the amplifier’s
voice coil (speaker) outputs exceeds a peak of 130 ampere. The Warhorse Amplifier tests the outputs
every three (3) seconds to protect the amplifier from electrical shorts and will turn off automatically if any
short is detected. With the amplifier turned off and speakers disconnected, check for speaker wires
shorted to each other or to the vehicle’s chassis. Check for damaged speaker(s), or speaker(s)
operating below the minimum recommended impedance. Because of the dangerous voltage output of
the amplifier, it is important to turn the amplifier off before attempting to repair any short or problem with
the voice coil output wiring.
8. Service LEDon/off If the service LED turns on, the amplifier most likely requires repair. In some
cases, the service LED will illuminate if the voice coil (speaker) outputs are not both loaded at the same
time. Turn the amplifier off and check the wiring for abrasions. Make sure that the amplifier is wired
correctly to the speakers as indicated in Figure 6. If no problems are found with the speaker wire or
connections and the service LED remains on, contact the Authorized Kicker dealer from whom you
purchased the amplifier.

WarhorseDesignFeatures
1.Patent Pending Signal-Modulated Power Supply The WX amplifier’s patent pending signal
modulated power supply combined with its custom planar transformers achieves efficiency ratings yet
to be matched in mobile audio, operating at 90% efficiency at a 2 ohm load and 93% efficiency at a 4
ohm load at full power.
2. Planar Transformer Design The WX amplifier’s four (4) planar transformers are excellent for high
power applications and are custom designed to handle 5,000 watts each, leaving more than enough
power headroom to operate reliably and consistently at full RMS with 20,000 watts of total capability.
3.Texas Instruments DSPThe Warhorse uses the latest Texas Instruments industrial grade DSP to
handle the amplifier’s pulse-width modulation, manage signal processing, and control the amplifier’s
protection circuitry.
4. Insulated Metal Substrate Cooling The Warhorse design uses insulated aluminum material for
optimum heat transfer between power devices and the heatsink. Lower operating temperatures improve
performance and durability while allowing for a smaller overall footprint.
5. Heavy Duty Industrial Bus Bars The Warhorse has been outfitted with solid copper industrial grade
bus bars. With 70 square millimeters of cross sectional area, the WX amplifier’s heavy duty bus bars are
specifically engineered to maximize the current carrying capability within the amplifier.
6. Super Thick, 4Ounce Double Sided PCB When you are livin’ this loud, you have to have a strong
foundation. The circuit board used in the Warhorse is 50% thicker than the industry standard and uses
the heaviest available 4 ounce thick copper traces and plated-through holes. This assures the circuit
board can transfer the current needed for an amplifier of this magnitude.
7. Oversized Gold Plated Power Connectors The Warhorse amplifier’s gold plated power connectors
were custom designed with multiple power terminals to maximize current carrying capability to the
amplifier’s signal-modulated power supply.
8. Industrial Grade AndersonTMSpeaker Connectors The 50 ampere AndersonTM connectors
packaged with the Warhorse amplifier allow minimal contact resistance at high current. The housing of
the connectors was designed to prevent polarity mismatches when connecting speakers and also
protects fingers or probes from touching the metal contacts to provide additional safety from the high
voltage signals coming from the voice coil (speaker) outputs.
9. Dual Thermostatically-Controlled Push-Pull Cooling Fans Twin push-pull fans are mounted on the
side of the amplifier to improve airflow and provide additional cooling for the amplifier.

OPERATION
TroubleShooting
If your amplifier does not appear to be working, check the obvious things first: such as blown fuses,
poor or incorrect wiring connections, incorrect setting of crossover switch and gain controls, etc. There
are eight LEDs on the control panel of your Kicker WX series amplifier. The LED display may help
identify the problem. The amplifier’s protection circuitry induces a muted safe mode if any excessive
conditions have occurred outside of the amplifier’s normal operational range. These conditions are
indicated by the LEDs on the amplifier’s control panel.
1.PWR LEDon/off Smart power indicator turns
on when the amplifier is on and functioning properly.
2. NET LEDon/off Indicates the optional remote
control module is connected to the Control Module
DIN input on the amplifier. See Figure 8.
3.<VOLT LEDon/off The Under Voltage LED
turns on when the voltage supplied to the amplifier drops below 9 volts. The amplifier will remain in the
muted safe mode until the voltage supply increases to 9.5 volts. If the amplifier goes into mute mode
often, as a result of under voltage, you may need to do one or more of the following: a) turn up the
limiter control on the amplifier’s control panel, b) check the connections, c) replace batteries with
identical units or charge existing batteries, d) add additional identical batteries to the vehicle’s battery
network, e) add an additional alternator to your vehicle.

Without adequate charging capability, the WX amplifier can draw
enough current to shut down your vehicle’s computer system.
This may adversely affect your ability to control your vehicle.
The WX amplifier outputs dangerous voltage levels from the voice coil (speaker) outputs.
Never contact the voice coil outputs, connect speakers, or speaker wires if the amplifier is
turned on. Turning the amplifier on without loading both voice coil outputs or connecting
the speaker(s) will increase the risk of electrical shock and could damage the amplifier.

muy fuerte y que puede dañar permanentemente el oído. Sea precavido cuando controle el volumen.
La frase "combustible para vivir la vida Livin' Loud™ a todo volumen" se refiere al entusiasmo por la vida que la marca
KICKER de estéreos de automóvil representa y a la recomendación a nuestros clientes de que vivan lo mejor posible
("a todo volumen") en todo sentido. La línea de altavoces y amplificadores KICKER es la mejor del mercado de audio
de automóviles y por lo tanto representa el "combustible" para vivir a todo volumen en el área de "estéreos de
automóvil" de la vida de nuestros clientes. Recomendamos a todos nuestros clientes que obedezcan todas las reglas
y reglamentos locales sobre ruido en cuanto a los niveles legales y apropiados de audición fuera del vehículo.
INTERNATIONALE GARANTIE DeutscheVersion
Nehmen Sie mit Ihren internationalen KICKER-Fachhändler oder Vertrieb Kontakt auf, um Details über die
Garantieleistungen in Ihrem Land zu erfahren.
WARNUNG: KICKER-Treiber können einen Schallpegel erzeugen, der zu permanenten Gehörschäden führen kann!
Wenn Sie ein System auf einen Pegel stellen, der hörbare Verzerrungen erzeugt, schadet das Ihren Ohren mehr, als ein
nicht verzerrtes System auf dem gleichen Lautstärkepegel. Die Schmerzschwelle ist immer eine Anzeige dafür, dass
der Schallpegel zu laut ist und zu permanenten Gehörschäden führen kann. Seien Sie bei der Lautstärkeeinstellung
bitte vernünftig!
Der Slogan "Treibstoff für Livin' Loud" bezieht sich auf die mit den KICKER-Autostereosystemen assoziierte
Lebensfreude und die Tatsache, dass wir unsere Kunden ermutigen, in allen Aspekten ihres Lebens nach dem Besten
("Livin' Loud") zu streben. Die Lautsprecher und Verstärker von KICKER sind auf dem Markt für Auto-Soundsysteme
führend und stellen somit den "Treibstoff" für das Autostereoerlebnis unserer Kunden dar. Wir empfehlen allen unseren
Kunden, sich bezüglich der zugelassenen und passenden Lautstärkepegel außerhalb des Autos an die örtlichen
Lärmvorschriften zu halten.

AVERTISSEMENT: Les haut-parleurs KICKER ont la capacité de produire des niveaux sonores pouvant endommager
l'ouïe de façon irréversible ! L'augmentation du volume d'un système jusqu'à un niveau présentant une distorsion
audible endommage davantage l'ouïe que l'écoute d'un système sans distorsion au même volume. Le seuil de la
douleur est toujours le signe que le niveau sonore est trop élevé et risque d'endommager l'ouïe de façon irréversible.
Réglez le volume en faisant prevue de bon sens !
L'expression " carburant pour vivre plein pot " fait référence au dynamisme de la marque KICKER d'équipements

audio et représentent donc pour nos client le " carburant pour vivre plein pot " dans l'aspect " installation audio de
véhicule " de leur vie. Nous encourageons tous nos clients à respecter toutes les lois et réglementations locales
