The BLAST Port is used to connect the Remote Bass Level
Controller and for transferring control signals from one SX
amplifier to another SX amplifier. An RJ45 cable is required to
connect the BLAST Port (Out) of one amp to the BLAST Port
(In) of another. This is onl required if ou want to control
more than one amplifier with the same Bass Level Controller.
More details on this further in the manual.
The speaker terminals are custom-machined connectors
with full protective shrouds and are designed to accept heav
gauge speaker wire assures maximum power transfer and

SX .1 Series Amplifiers
Installation
ounting
When selecting a location to mount our Kicker amplifier be
sure it is structurall sound and that there are no items
behind the area that could be damaged b the screws. Check
for wiring, brake lines, fuel lines, gas tanks, etc.
All amplifiers generate heat under normal operation. Be sure
to choose a location that allows adequate ventilation for the
amplifier. Also consider that the air temperature inside an
automobile’s trunk can reach upwards of 140 degrees fahren-
heit. An amplifier mounted in the trunk ma require additional
cooling such as extra fans moving air around the amplifier’s
chassis or ventilating the trunk to exchange the hot air in the
trunk for cooler air outside. If possible, mounting the amp in
the passenger compartment will allow cooler operation.
Remember that the controls on top of the amp will need to
be accessible for adjustment later. Keep this in mind as ou
choose our amplifier’s mounting location.
Now that ou are read to mount our amplifier, use the
supplied 3mm allen wrench to remove the amplifier EndKaps.
This will give ou access to the mounting holes in the amplifi-
er and all wiring connections.

8SX .1 Series Amplifiers
Installation
Wiring
Signal is input into the amplifier using the low level RCA
input connections. If our source unit does not have RCA
output connectors ou will need to use a Hi-Lo level signal
adapter. See our Kicker dealer for more details on this.
The output (PAST) RCA jacks provide an unaltered signal
output to feed another amplifier or component.
SOURCE UNIT
The use of twisted pair interconnects is recommended for
all installations to minimize noise. When routing these cables
through the automobile, tr to keep them awa from factor
wiring harnesses and other power wiring. If ou need to cross
an of this wiring do so at a 90 degree angle to reduce the
possibilit for noise problems.
When working with power connections it is alwa s recom-
mended that ou disconnect the batter to prevent accidents.
The ground should be connected to the amplifier first
before making an of the other connections. This wire should
be as short as possible (24 inches or less) and connected to a
paint/corrosion free solid metal area of the car’s chassis. Use
the same gauge wire as recommended for the amplifier’s
power connection to the batter . Adding an additional ground
wire between the car batter ’s negative post and the car chas-
sis of this same gauge (or larger) is also recommended.
If ou ever need to remove the amp from the vehicle after
it has been installed, the ground wire should be the last wire
disconnected from the amplifier, just the opposite of when
ou installed it.
A fuse must be installed within 18 inches of the batter to
protect the power wire feeding our amplifier. This fuse
should be of at least the same value used in the amplifier but
no higher than the capacit of the power wire. See the charts
below for wire size and fusing recommendations.

AMPLIFIER STRAPPING
SX.1 series amplifiers are capable of being strapped
together to provide twice the power into twice their rated
minimum impedance. Onl like model amps can be strapped
together. In other words, the SX650.1 can onl be strapped to
another SX650.1 and the SX1250.1 can onl be strapped to
another SX1250.1.
NOTE...
4 ohm minimum impedance for SX650.1 when strapped.
2 ohm minimum impedance for SX1250.1 when strapped.
1.) Wire both amplifiers to 12 volt power, ground and
remote.
2.) Connect a RCA cable from the source unit to the RCA
Input jacks on the primar amp.
3.) Use the supplied 1/8 inch mono cable to connect the
Amp Strapping Out jack of the primar amplifier to the
Amp Strapping In jack of the secondar amplifier.
4.) Use a short piece of heav gauge wire (12Ga, 10Ga, 8Ga)
to connect the Speaker negative terminals of both amps
together.
5.) The primar amplifier’s positive terminal is used for the
positive speaker connections.
6.) The secondar amplifier’s positive terminal is used for the
negative speaker connections.

USING THE SIGNAL OUTPUT JACKS (PAST)
The Output (Pre Amp Signal Transfer) RCA jacks allow ou to
send the incoming signal from one Kicker SX series amplifier
to another amplifier or processor without the need for Y
cables. The signal from the PAST jacks is identical to the signal
fed to the amplifier via its RCA input jacks and is not affected
b an of the amplifier’s built-in digital signal processing.
Most head units with high voltage outputs should be capa-
ble of driving up to ten amplifiers in a chain.

Route the cable from the controller to the BLAST input jack
on the amplifier chassis. That’s it.
If ou wish to control more than one amplifier with our

Navigating this simple menu
structure is ver eas using the 5-wa

You use the 83 and '2:1 ke s to scroll through the
available menu items, and the (17 ke is used to select that
menu item. The (6& ke backs ou up one menu level from
where ou are, and the +20( ke can return ou all the
