Alternator noise-whining sound with engine’s RPM?

Check the routing of RCA (or speaker input) cable

Check the source unit for proper grounding

Check
the gain settings and turn them down if they are set too high.
Poor stereo image or reduced bass response?
Check system phasing by turning the balance control from
left to right. If there is more bass output when turned to either side, then check your speaker wiring, passive
crossover networks and speaker terminals for proper positive and negative connections. Reverse a speaker
connection from positive to negative on the stereo/subwoofer channel(s); if the bass improves, the speaker was
out of phase.
Ground Noise? KICKER amplifiers are engineered to be fully compatible with all manufacturers’ head units.
Some head units may require additional grounding to prevent noise from entering the audio signal. If you are
experiencing this problem with your head unit, in most cases running a ground wire from the RCA outputs on the
head unit to the chassis will remedy this issue.
Please Note: Modern high performance speakers have a lower DC Resistance than what used to be available.
The KICKER Coaxial and Component speakers are rated at four ohms (some DC Resistances may be as low
as 3 ohms) and work with any amplifier designed to operate at a four ohm load. If you want to use two KICKER
Coaxial or Component speakers on a single channel of your amplifier, wire the speakers in series. This will
improve the sound quality, lower the total harmonic distortion and lessen the thermal load at the amplifier. This
may prevent an amplifier from shutting down due to over-current protection circuitry.
CAUTION:
When jump starting the vehicle, be sure that connections made with jumper cables are correct.
Improper connections can result in blown amplifier fuses as well as the failure of other critical systems in the
vehicle.
If you have more questions about the installation or operation of your new KICKER product, see the Authorized
KICKER Dealer where you made your purchase or contact the domestic distributor in your country.
