Menu System

The menu system layout is as follows:

DEFAULT

- This menu is displayed when your amp is 

operating and no adjustments are being made to your ampli-
fier. This information scrolls through the display one after the
other and then repeats. 

1.) 

KICKER

- Hey, we needed a brand plug for us since this 

amp is 

sooooo cool!

2.) 

XX.X Volts

- Displays the current voltage at the 

amplifier’s + 12 volt battery input terminal.

3.) 

XX.X DEG f

or

xx.x DEG c

- Displays the current 

temperature of the amplifier in celsius or fahrenheit.

4.)

amp name

- Model name of the amplifier or the name 

you have changed it to.

5.) 

memory name

- Current memory preset in use (if 

any) or the name you have changed it to. 

If you want to freeze the scrolling

display simply press the 

HOME

key

and the scrolling will stop.

Now you can manually select the item

you wish to have displayed by using the

UP

or 

DOWN

keys.  

If you want the display to continue scrolling simply press

the 

HOME

key again. 

MAIN

- This menu is the first menu accessed from the

DEFAULT menu and is the gateway to all the settings and
information on your SX series amplifier. 

To enter the MAIN menu simply press

the 

ENT

key while in the DEFAULT

menu.

The available selections in the MAIN menu are:

System
GAIN
EQ
Lo-Pass
Hi-Pass
Phase
Mute
Kompressor
Security

Use the 

UP

and 

DOWN

arrow keys

to scroll through the available selections
in the MAIN menu.

When you have the menu item 

selected that you want to view or adjust
simply press the 

ENT

key to select it.

Continuing our example, we are now in the HISTORY item in
the SICK BAY MENU. If we press the 

ESC

key we would go

back up to the SICK BAY MENU. If we
press the 

ESC

key again we would go

to the SYSTEM MENU. One more press
of the 

ESC

key and we are in the

MAIN MENU. 

Let’s start at the HISTORY item in the SICK BAY MENU again

but instead press and hold the 

HOME

key for 1.5 

seconds. Doing this will take us all the way back to the MAIN

MENU in one key press. Pressing and
holding the 

HOME

key will return you

all the way back to the MENU ITEM you
started with in the MAIN MENU, no mat-
ter how deep in the menu level struc-
ture you are. Pretty cool! 

This is a very quick way to return to the MAIN MENU after

drilling down several menu layers to view or change an item.

When adjusting any amplifier control the 

UP

and 

DOWN

arrow keys have 2 speeds, normal and accelerated. 

Pressing and releasing the key 

repeatedly will scroll through the menu
items at normal speed. 

Pressing the key and holding it in for

longer than 1.5 seconds will activate the
accelerated scrolling mode and scroll
through the menu items at a much
faster rate. Releasing the key will return
it to normal speed mode. 

Don’t try to scroll through every 1/12 octave step without

it!
