SYSTEM DIAGRAMS

These diagrams show minimum operating impedances for each system configuration

The XS-Series KICKER amplifiers need low impedances to make full power. In stereo mode
the amplifier will make all available power at   1/2 Ohm per channel. Likewise, 1 Ohm mono
is the impedance necessary to get full power out of the amp.

TWO CHANNEL OPERATION

In conventional stereo or two channel operation, a signal is required for each 

channel and a speaker load of no less than 1/2 Ohm is connected to each of the right 
and left outputs.

BRIDGED OPERATION

For bridged mono systems, an input is required to both input connectors and the speak-

er load of no less than 1 Ohms is connected to the left+ and right-.
