Adjusting Equalizer Controls

Cousin Bernie & Dr. Koneairea Chat Over Lunch

If after doing all your equalization and level adjustments you feel that your system lacks bite, even with your

source unit turned up to 90% of its’ full output potential, then the gain settings on your amplifier(s) may be turned
up slightly. Keep in mind that the gain settings on any amplifier are for level matching only, they do not increase
the power output of your amplifier. The lowest gain setting that will allow your amplifier to make full power is
always best for sound quality, lowest system noise and reliability.

If you go back at a later date and make changes to the equalizer that involve boosting of the controls, you may

need to perform the Final G

Gain SSetting process detailed on page 19 again. A good indication that you need to do

this would be if the Output Level Clipping LEDs stay on continuously. It is ok for the clipping LED indicators to blink,
but they should never be fully lit up for any extended period of time.

Page 21 lists the specifications of the KQ30 and has a blank area to use as a notes page. Here you can scribble

down any little tidbits that you may need to know later about how you installed this unit or adjusted it. Alternate
uses of page 21 are:

* Clean place to hold that slice of cold pizza you ordered two hours ago and never got to eat.
* Your latest theories on why time travel is possible.
* A napkin.

Page 22 has a blank KQ30 settings template. We recommend you make several copies of this page so that you

always have a nice clean blank. Use the copies to keep track of your settings both during and after the KQ30 setup.
This is helpful in case you ever need to dial back in your settings because of someone accidentally ( or un-acciden-
tally) altering them. *Note- don’t confuse the alternate uses for page 21 with page 22. This will render page 22
unusable. If this happens you can download a new Technical Manual from www.Kicker.com.

If you have any specific questions concerning this product please contact your local Kicker dealer where you pur-

chased your KQ30 or call us direct at 405-624-8510 and ask for Technical Support. The latest information is always
available for download from our website at www.Kicker.com.

Enjoy!
