CROSSOVER CONFIGURATION
The KICKER RS crossover can be confi gured as a conventional 2-way crossover by installing the included
INPUT
jumper into the
- MID + -TW +
input terminals as shown in
Fig. 2
. In this confi guration, the
amplifi ed signal from your source unit or amplifi er should be wired to the + and - terminals indicated on the
INPUT
jumper.
The RS crossover can also be confi gured for bi-amp wiring by removing (or simply not installing) the
INPUT
jumper. To use the bi-amp confi guration, you must connect two amplifi ed signals to each
crossover (you will need at least four amplifi er channels). Set the tweeter output-level switch to
0 dB
,
+3
dB
, or
+6 dB
. Higher switch settings will result in more volume from the tweeter.
