Installation . . . as easy as 1, 2, 3
1. Mounting Choose a structurally sound location to mount your Kicker amplifier. The controls on the
top of the amplifier need to be accessible for adjustment. Make sure there are no items behind the area
where the screws will be driven. Choose a location that allows at least 4” (10cm) of open ventilation for
the amplifier. If possible, mount the amplifier in the climate-controlled passenger compartment. Drill four
holes using a 7/64” (3mm) bit and use the supplied #8 screws to mount the amplifier.
2. Wiring Disconnect the vehicle’s battery to avoid an electrical short. Then connect the ground wire
to the amplifier. Make the ground wire short, 24” (60cm) or less, and connect it to a paint-and
corrosion-free solid-metal area of the vehicle's chassis. Adding an additional ground wire between the
battery's negative post and the vehicle chassis of this same gauge (or larger) is recommended.
Use a twisted pair of RCA (low-level)
interconnect cable to feed the audio signal
to the amplifier. Only use speaker wire
(high-level) inputs if your source unit does
not have RCA type outputs. Either input
method will provide a low-level output
signal at the RCA output, which effectively
passes the audio signal to another
amplifier or component (P.A.S.T.). Keep
the RCA cable away from factory wiring
harnesses and other power wiring. If you
need to cross this wiring, cross it at a 90
degree angle.
Install a fuse within 18” (45cm) of the
battery and in-line with the power cable
connected to your amplifier. If you ever need to remove the amplifier from the vehicle after it has been
installed, the ground wire should be the last wire disconnected from the amplifier--just the opposite as
when you installed it. See the chart below for power and ground wire size, and fusing
recommendations.
3. Configuration The following
diagrams show the most common
configurations for your Kicker ZX series amplifier.
Two Channel Operation (Stereo) These ZX amplifiers are capable of operating into a minimum
impedance of 2 ohms per channel in stereo operation. See Figure 2.
Bridged Operation (Mono) ZX.2 series amplifiers are capable of operating into a minimum
impedance of 4 ohms when in bridged operation. See Figure 3.
Stereo and Mono Operation Simultaneously (SAMS) The ZX.2 series amplifiers are capable of
operating into a minimum impedance of 4 ohms mono and 2 ohms per channel in stereo
simultaneously with the use of passive crossovers. See Figure 4.

Operation
Your Kicker ZX.2 series amplifier has three rotary controls on top and one switch on the end-panel.
Before turning on the system for the first time, turn the three rotary controls on the top of the amplifier
to the full counter-clockwise position.
1. CrossoverSwitch The crossover switch on the end-panel is for setting the internal crossover. In
the OFF position the amplifier passes
a full-range signal to the speakers.
Use the LO position when connected
to a subwoofer. The HI position
should be selected when connected
to speakers, which you do not want
to receive any sub-bass information.
Never change the crossover
"OFF/HI/LO" switch setting with the
audio system on! See Figure 1.
2. InputGainControl The input gain control is not a volume control. It matches the output of the
source unit to the input level of the amplifier. Turn the source unit up to about 3/4 volume (if the source
unit goes to 30, turn it to 25). Next, slowly turn (clockwise) the gain on the amplifier up until you can
hear audible distortion, then turn it down a little.
3. BassBoostControl The bass boost control is designed to give you increased output 0 - 18dB
at 40 Hz. The setting for this control is subjective. If you turn it up, you must go back and adjust the
input gain control to avoid clipping the amplifier.
4. CrossoverControl The setting for this control is subjective; 80Hz is a good place to start.
TroubleShooting
If your amplifier does not appear to be working, check the obvious things first such as blown fuses,
poor or incorrect wiring connections, incorrect setting of crossover switch and gain controls, etc. There
are two LEDs on the top of your Kicker ZX series amplifier, one green and one red. When the green
LED is lit this indicates the amplifier is turned on and no trouble exists. If the green LED turns off and
the red LED is lit, this indicates that the protection circuitry (SORT) is engaged.
Green LED off, no output? With a Volt Ohm Meter (VOM) check the following: 1) +12 volt power
terminal (should read +12V to +16V) 2) Remote turn-on terminal (should read +12V to +16V)
3) Check for reversed power and ground connections 4) Ground terminal, for proper conductivity.
Green LED on, no output? Check the following: 1) RCA connections 2) Test speaker outputs
with a “known” good speaker. 3) Substitute source unit with a “known” good source unit.
4) Check for a signal in the RCA cable feeding the amplifier with the “AC” test position selected
on the VOM meter.
Red LED on, no output? 1) Amplifier is very hot. Thermal protection is engaged. Test for proper
impedance at the speaker terminals with a VOM meter (see the diagrams in this manual for minimum
recommended impedance and multiple speaker wiring suggestions). Also check for adequate airflow
around the amplifier. 2) Amplifier shuts down only while vehicle is running. Voltage protection
circuitry is engaged. Voltage to the amplifier is not within the 9-16 volt operating range. Have the
vehicle's charging and electrical system inspected. 3) Amplifier will only play at low volume levels.
Short circuit protection is engaged. Check for speaker wires shorted to each other or to the vehicle
chassis. Check for damaged speakers, or speaker(s) operating below the minimum recommended
impedance.
No output from one channel? 1) Check the balance control on source unit 2) Check the RCA (or
speaker input) and speaker output connections for the channel 3) Swap the RCA (or speaker input)
cable from left to right. If the problem changes sides then you have a bad RCA (or speaker input) cable
or source unit problem. 4) Swap the speaker output wire from left to right. If the problem changes
sides then you have a bad speaker cable, passive crossover network and/or speaker.
Alternator noise-whining sound with engine’s RPM? 1) Check for damaged RCA (or speaker
input) cable 2) Check the routing of RCA (or speaker input) cable 3) Check the source unit for proper
grounding 4) 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.
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.

WARNING: KICKER products are capable of producing sound levels that can permanently damage your hearing!
Turning up a system to a level that has audible distortion is more damaging to your ears than listening to an
undistorted system at the same volume level. The threshold of pain is always an indicator that the sound level is too
loud and may permanently damage your hearing. Please use common sense when controlling volume.

AVERTISSEMENT: Les haut-parleurs Kicker ont la capacité de produire des niveaux sonores pouvant endommager
l'ouïe de façon irréversible ! L'augmentation du volume d'un système jusqu'à un niveau présentant une distorsion
audible endommage davantage l'ouïe que l'écoute d'un système sans distorsion au même volume. Le seuil de la
douleur est toujours le signe que le niveau sonore est trop élevé et risque d'endommager l'ouïe de façon irréversible.
Réglez le volume en faisant prevue de bon sens !
