Your KICKER SX series amplifier uses the latest in Digital DSP

control and provides you with valuable operational informa-

tion about your amplifier, real-time diagnostics and a full

multi-level menu-driven operating system to access and

adjust your amplifier. 

The menu system is designed in layers. There is a starting

point and you keep drilling down until you get to the menu

item you want to view or change. This menu tree is an 

example of how the SX menu structure is set up. 

NOTE:

Not all the menus and menu items are shown below.

As you can see there can be an infinite number of menu

levels and each one of these menu levels can have an infinite

number of its own items. 

Navigating this simple menu 

structure is very easy using the 5-way
keypad.

You use the 

UP

and 

DOWN

keys to scroll through the

available menu items, and the 

ENT

key is used to select that

menu item. The 

ESC

key backs you up one menu level from

where you are, and the 

HOME

key can return you all the

way to MAIN MENU by pressing and holding it for 1.5 seconds.

For example let’s begin at the DEFAULT SCREEN; our goal is

to get to the HISTORY menu. Pressing the 

ENT

key would get

us to MAIN MENU. Now use the 

UP

and

DOWN

keys to scroll to SYSTEM, and

then press the 

ENT

key. Now you are

in the SYSTEM MENU. Using the 

UP

and

DOWN

keys again you scroll to SICK

BAY and press the 

ENT

key. You are

now in the SICK
BAY MENU. Use the 

UP

and 

DOWN

keys again to scroll to HISTORY and then
press the 

ENT

key. That’s it! You are

there. 

This is how you view information

and change settings in your KICKER SX amplifier.

USING THE REMOTE BASS LEVEL CONTROL & BLAST

You can use the Remote Bass Level Control to control the

output of your amplifier from the front of the car. 

Mount the controller by simply screwing the metal bracket

to the chosen location and then slide the housing onto the

bracket until it snaps into place. 

Route the cable from the controller to the BLAST input jack

on the amplifier chassis. That’s it. 

If you wish to control more than one amplifier with your

remote, you will simply need to use a RJ45 cable (not supplied

but available at any Radio Shack, computer store or electronics

center) to connect the BLAST output jack of the first amp to

the BLAST input jack of the next amplifier.
