Mounting  
The BLAST Port is used to connect the Remote Bass Level  
Controller and for transferring control signals from one SX  
amplifier to another SX amplifier. An RJ45 cable is required to  
connect the BLAST Port (Out) of one amp to the BLAST Port  
(In) of another. This is only required if you want to control  
more than one amplifier with the same Bass Level Controller.  
More details on this further in the manual.  
When selecting a location to mount your Kicker amplifier be  
sure it is structurally sound and that there are no items  
behind the area that could be damaged by the screws. Check  
for wiring, brake lines, fuel lines, gas tanks, etc.

All amplifiers generate heat under normal operation. Be sure  
to choose a location that allows adequate ventilation for the  
amplifier. Also consider that the air temperature inside an  
automobile’s trunk can reach upwards of 140 degrees fahren-  
heit. An amplifier mounted in the trunk may require additional  
cooling such as extra fans moving air around the amplifier’s  
chassis or ventilating the trunk to exchange the hot air in the  
trunk for cooler air outside. If possible, mounting the amp in  
the passenger compartment will allow cooler operation.

The ground should be connected to the amplifier first  
before making any of the other connections. This wire should  
be as short as possible (24 inches or less) and connected to a  
paint/corrosion free solid metal area of the car’s chassis. Use  
the same gauge wire as recommended for the amplifier’s  
power connection to the battery. Adding an additional ground  
wire between the car battery’s negative post and the car chas-  
sis of this same gauge (or larger) is also recommended.

Wiring  
SINGLE SPEAKER OR VOICE COIL  
Signal is input into the amplifier using the low level RCA  
input connections. If your source unit does not have RCA  
output connectors you will need to use a Hi-Lo level signal  
adapter. See your Kicker dealer for more details on this.  
SX.1 series amplifiers are capable of operating into a minimum impedance of 2 ohms  
(SX650.1) or 1 ohm (SX1250.1).  
GROUND  
SIGNAL IN  
The output (PAST) RCA jacks provide an unaltered signal

If you ever need to remove the amp from the vehicle after

A fuse must be installed within 18 inches of the battery to  
protect the power wire feeding your amplifier. This fuse  
should be of at least the same value used in the amplifier but  
no higher than the capacity of the power wire. See the charts

The use of twisted pair interconnects is recommended for  
all installations to minimize noise. When routing these cables

SX.1 series amplifiers are capable of powering multiple speakers or voice coils wired in  
series as long as the minimum impedance does not drop below 2 ohms (SX650.1) or 1 ohm  
(SX1250.1).  
SX.1 series amplifiers are capable of being strapped  
together to provide twice the power into twice their rated  
minimum impedance. Only like model amps can be strapped  
together. In other words, the SX650.1 can only be strapped to  
another SX650.1 and the SX1250.1 can only be strapped to  
another SX1250.1.

2.) Connect a RCA cable from the source unit to the RCA  
Input jacks on the primary amp.  
These are just a few of the many ways you can use your SX.1 series Kicker amplifier.  
These system diagrams are designed to give you a basic understanding of the most com-  
mon uses for this amplifier. For more complex systems please visit your local authorized  
Kicker dealer. You can also download the SX Technical Manual from our website at  
3.) Use the supplied 1/8 inch mono cable to connect the  
Amp Strapping Out jack of the primary amplifier to the  
Amp Strapping In jack of the secondary amplifier.

USING THE SIGNAL OUTPUT JACKS (PAST)  
The Output (Pre Amp Signal Transfer) RCA jacks allow you to  
send the incoming signal from one Kicker SX series amplifier  
to another amplifier or processor without the need for Y  
cables. The signal from the PAST jacks is identical to the signal  
fed to the amplifier via its RCA input jacks and is not affected  
by any of the amplifier’s built-in digital signal processing.  
The Remote Bass Level Controller can be used to adjust the  
output level of both the amplifiers that are strapped together.  
SOURCE UNIT  
1.) Mount the Remote Bass Level Controller in the front of  
your vehicle and plug in the supplied cable.  
SUPPLIED

2.) Route the supplied cable to the primary amplifier and

Alternator noise (whining sound that varies with engine RPM):  
¬Check for damaged RCA cables.  
¬Check routing of RCA cable.  
¬Check source unit for good ground.  
¬Check GAIN RANGE in SYSTEM menu, turn down if set too  
high.  
¬Substitute known good source unit.  
Troubleshooting  
;If amp does not make noise using PINK NOISE then:  
If your amplifier does not appear to be working, check obvi-  
ous things first such as blown fuses, poor or incorrect wiring  
connections, crossovers set improperly, gain controls  
improperly set, etc.  
¬Check speaker connections.  
¬Test speaker outputs with known good speaker.  
Other Symptoms:  
¬Check GAIN in MAIN MENU, turn down if set too high.  
;Amp is very hot, no output.  
There are two LEDs on the end panel of your KICKER SX  
series amplifier, one green and one red. The green LED indi-  
cates the amplifier is turned on. The red LED indicates that  
there is a fault condition with the end panel fuses and they  
need checked.  
¬Thermal protection is engaged. Check SICK BAY to  
verify. Check for proper impedance at speaker  
terminals. Also check for adequate airflow around  
amplifier.  
CAUTION: When jump-starting the vehicle, be sure  
that connections made with jumper cables are cor-  
rect. Improper connections (+ to - & - to +) will  
result in blown amplifier fuses as well as failure to  
other systems in the vehicle.  
;Amp shuts down while vehicle is running.  
¬Over Voltage protection engaged. Check SICK BAY  
to verify. Voltage to the amplifier is not within the  
9-16 volt operating range. Have automobile  
charging/electrical system inspected.  
The power indicator on top of the amplifier which illumi-  
nates the model badge follows the same function as the  
green LED.  
If you have more questions about the installation and oper-  
ation of your new KICKER amplifier, see the Authorized KICKER  
Dealer in your area. You may also call our Technical Services  
Line at (405)624-8583 for assistance or visit our website at  
;Amp only plays at low volume levels.  
Green LED ooff, no output:  
¬With a Volt Ohm Meter (VOM) check:  
¬+ 12 volt power terminal (should read +12V to +16V).  
¬Remote turn-on terminal (should read +12V to +16V).  
¬Ground terminal to chassis ground (should read 0).  
¬Short circuit protection engaged. Check SICK BAY  
to verify. Check for speaker wires shorted to each  
other or the vehicle chassis. Damaged speakers or  
operating amplifier below minimum recommended  
impedance will also cause this.  
;Weak bass output.  
Green LED oon, no output:  
¬Change the phase of the LEFT channel in the PHASE  
menu. If bass improves then one speaker channel is  
out of phase (polarity). You can leave PHASE changed  
for this channel to fix the problem or better yet;  
Check speaker connections to amp and speakers to  
determine which one is wrong and correct. Be sure  
to set the PHASE of the LEFT channel back to original  
setting after correcting wiring connections.  
¬Check amp status in SICK BAY.  
¬Check GAIN RANGE in SYSTEM menu.  
¬Check GAIN LEVEL in GAIN menu.  
¬Check if MUTE is activated.  
¬Test amp using PINK NOISE in SICK BAY menu.  
;If amp makes noise using PINK NOISE then:  
¬Check RCA cable and connections.  
¬Check for signal on RCA cable with VOM in AC  
position.
