OPERATION
Input Level:
The RCA inputs on KICKER BX amplifiers are capable of receiving a Low-level signal from your
source unit. If the only output available from your source unit is a Hi-Level signal, you can use the HI LEVEL
INPUT. Refer to the wiring section of this manual for additional instructions on page 3.
Xover Switch:
Use the XOVER switch on the end panel of the amplifier to set the internal crossover to HP, OFF
or LP. When the switch is set to OFF, a full bandwidth signal will be amplified. Set the switch to HP if you want the
amplifier’s internal crossover to serve as a high-pass filter. Set the switch to LP if you want the amplifier’s internal
crossover to serve as a low-pass filter. Never change the crossover “HP-OFF-LP” switch setting with the audio
system on!
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.
LP Freq/HP Freq Control:
The variable crossovers allows you to adjust the crossover frequency from
50–200Hz. The setting for both controls is subjective; 80Hz is a good place to start.
Bass Boost Control:
The variable bass boost control is designed to give you increased output, 0–12dB, at
40 Hz. The setting for this control is subjective. If you turn it up, you must readjust the input gain control to avoid
clipping the amplifier.
Remote Bass-BXRC (not included):
When the crossover on your BX amplifier is set to LP pass, you have the
ability to control the output level of the amplifier remotely. To mount the BXRC remote bass level control, simply
screw the housing to the chosen location. Run the cable from the controller to the “Remote Bass” jack on the
amplifier chassis.
