KX2500.1 Amplifier

Installa

tion 

USING THE SIGNAL OUTPUT JACKS (PAST)

The Output (Pre Amp Signal Transfer) RCA jacks allow you to

send the incoming signal from one Kicker KX2500.1 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 or the High Level
inputs and is not affected by the amplifier’s built in crossover.

Most head units with high voltage outputs should be capable of

driving up to ten amplifiers in a chain.    

REMOTE BASS LEVEL CONTROL

When using the Remote Bass Level Control you have the 

ability to control the level of the subs from the driver’s seat. To
mount the controller 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 (REMOTE BASS) jack on the amplifier chassis.  

When using more than one KX2500.1 amplifiers you have the

ability to control all of them from one Remote Bass Level Control.
The adapter is a common Modular Phone Splitter found at Radio
Shack and is installed between the controller and the amplifiers.
Use additional RJ11 cords (4 conductor phone cords) to connect
the amplifiers to the Modular Phone Splitter.
