13. Fasten the amplifier to the bracket using supplied hardware and orient with connector to the clutch side of the motorcycle. (Fig. 9)
14. Making sure all wiring is safely out of the way, slide the amp bracket over the radio chassis and engage tabs on amp bracket into the
rubber grommets on the radio. (Fig. 10)
15. Reinstall the T20 fasteners, removed in step 2, through the amp bracket and into the radio. (Fig. 10)

into the Orange/White wire, making sure it is fully engaged. (Fig. 12)
22. Whether the extra blue wire lead is being used or not, heat shrink has been provided to put over it to reduce the risk of a short. (Fig. 15)
23. Follow the proper procedure to remove the fuel tank.
24. Remove the electrical caddy lid.
25. Route the power harness on the clutch side of the frame neck, lay it into that caddy and under the seat. (Fig. 14 & 15)
a. You may want to remove the fuse now while figuring out wire placement.
26. The blue lead under the seat would be used if installing a second amplifier, but again, whether used or not, cover with heat shrink to
reduce the risk of a short. (Fig. 15)

Pro Tip:
To
get
the
best performance from your new
KICKER
Amplifier
and
extend the warranty by 1
year,
use
genuine KI
CKER
accessories and wiring.
INSTALLATION
Mounting: Choose a structurally sound location to mount your
KICKER
amplifier.
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.
Drill
four holes using a 7/64"
(3mm)
bit and use the supplied #8 screws to mount the
amplifier.
Wiring: Disconnect the vehicle's battery to avoid
an
electrical short.
Then,
connect the
PXA
harness to the
amplifier.
A good ground connections
is
important.
If
this amplifier
is
mounted
in
the front
fairing
of a motorcycle,
it
will
be best
to
extend
the
ground
wire
all
the way to the
battery.
The
PXA
amplifiers
have
the capability to receive almost any
level
of
input
signal.
If
a
Hi-Level
signal
is
coming
from
the speaker leads of
the
source unit, simply cut off the
RCA
jacks and connect
it
directly to the exposed
wires. Set the Input
Level
switch to
Hi.
Set the Auto
Turn-On
to
DC.
If
speaker leads are not
available
from
your
source
unit,
use
an
RCA
stereo cable
to
connect directly to the
RCA
connectors of the
PXA
amplifier.
Set the
Input
Level
switch to
Lo.
Set
the
Auto
Tum-On
switch
to+
12V,
and
use the blue remote trigger wire to tum the
amplifier
on.

1x 15
Ampere
Cut
the
looped

powercable located
on
the
PXA
harness
and
install
a 15A
fuse.
Fuse installation
should
be
within
18"
(45cm)
of
the
battery
and
in-line
with
the harness' power cable, which
is
connected
to
your
amplifier.
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.

12V
or
DC
Offset.
Using
the
DC
Offset mode causes the
REM
terminal
wire to have+12V out
for
turning
on additional
amplifiers.
•
Remote
Turn-On:
Set the switch
to
+
12V
to use the
remote
turn-on
lead
from
the
PXA
harness.
Run
18
gauge
wire
from
the
Remote
Tum-On
Lead
on your source unit to the
REM
wire on the
PXA
harness.
(Best
for Lo-Level
input)
•
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.
(Best
for
Hi-Level
input)
Input Level:
The
RCA
inputs
on
KICKER
PXA
amplifiers
are
capable
of
receiving
either
Hi
or Low-level signals
from
your source
unit.
When
using a
Hi-Level
signal,
simply set the
Input
Level
switch on the amplifier to
HI.
HI-PASS Switches:
Use
the HI
-PASS
switches behind the protective rubber covering of the amplifier to set the
internal
crossover. Choose a cutoff of
60Hz,
80Hz,
120Hz, or
OFF
depending
on
the configurati
on
of switches.
Never
change the switches
with
the audio system
on!
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
amplifier.
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.

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 is a Power
Protection LED on the side power panel
of
your Kicker PXA senes amplifier. Depending on the state
of
the
amplifier and the vehicle's charging system, the
LED
will
glow
either Red or Blue. When the blue LED is lit this
indicates the amplifier is turned on and
no
trouble exists.
Blue LED off, no output? With a Volt Ohm Meter
(VOM)
check
the following: 0 +12 volt power terminal
(should read +
12V
to
+16V) @Remote tum-on terminal (should read +12Vto +16V) @Check for reversed
power and ground connections 0
Ground
terminal, for proper conductivity. 0 For Hi-Level input,
check
input
wires for +6V.
Blue LED on,
no
output? Check the following: O
RCA
connections @Test speakeroutputs with a "known"
good speaker. @Substitute source unit with a "known"
good
source unit. 0Check for a signal
in
the RCA
cable feeding the amplifier with the VOM meter set to measure "AC" voltage.
Protection LED flashing with loud music? The red LED indicates low battery voltage. Check
all
the
connections
in
your vehicle's charging system.
It
may
be
necessary
to
replace
or
charge your vehicle's battery
or
replace yourvehicle's alternator.
Protection LED on,
no
output? 0
Amplifier
Is very hot = thermal protection
Is
engaged. Test for proper
impedance at the speaker terminals with a VOM meter (see the diagrams
in
this manual for minimum
recommended impedance and multiple speaker wiring suggestions). Also check for adequate airflow around
the amplifier. @Amplifier shuts down only while vehicle is running -voltage protection circuitry is engaged.
Voltage to the amplifier is not within the
10-16
volt operating range. Have the vehicle's charging and electrical
system inspected. @Amplifier will only play at low volume
levels=
short circuit protection is engaged. Check
for speakerwires shorted
to
each other or to the vehicle chassis.
Check
for damaged speakers
or
speaker(s)
operating below the minimum recommended impedance.
No
or
low
output? 0Check the balance control on source unit @Check the RCA (or speaker input) and
speaker output connections.
Alternator noise-whining sound with engine's RPM? 0Check for damaged RCA (or speaker input) cable
@Check the routing
of
RCA (or speaker input) cable @Checkthe source unit for proper grounding 0Check
the gain settings and turn them down if they are set
too
high.
Reduced bass response? Reverse a speaker connection from positive to negative on the stereo/subwoofer
channel(s); if the bass improves, the speaker was out
of
phase.
Ground Noise? KICKER amplifiers are engineered to
be
fully compatible with
all
manufacturers' head units.
Some head units may require additional grounding to prevent noise from entering the audio signal.
If
you are
experiencing this problem with your head unit,
in
most cases running a ground wire from the RCA outputs on the
head unit
to
the chassis will remedy this issue.
CAUTION: When jump starting the vehicle, be sure that connections made with jumper cables are correct.
Improper connections can result
in
blown amplifier fuses as well as the failure
of
other critical systems
in
the
vehicle.
