Overview
IMPORTANT SAFETY WARNING
PROLONGED CONTINUOUS OPERATION OF AN AMPLIFIER, SPEAKER, OR
SUBWOOFER IN A DISTORTED, CLIPPED OR OVER-POWERED MANNER
CAN CAUSE YOUR AUDIO SYSTEM TO OVERHEAT, POSSIBLY CATCHING
FIRE AND RESULTING IN SERIOUS DAMAGE TO YOUR COMPONENTS
AND/OR VEHICLE. AMPLIFIERS REQUIRE UP TO 4 INCHES (10CM) OPEN
VENTILATION. SUBWOOFERS SHOULD BE MOUNTED WITH AT LEAST 1
INCH (2.5CM) CLEARANCE BETWEEN THE FRONT OF THE SPEAKER AND
ANY SURFACE. 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.
TO AVOID POTENTIAL INJURY OR POSSIBLE DEATH FROM FORWARD
MOVEMENT OF THE ENCLOSURE DURING ABRUPT STOPS OR ACCIDENTS,
THE ENCLOSURE MUST BE PROPERLY INSTALLED AND SECURELY
FASTENED TO YOUR VEHICLE. YOU ARE SOLELY RESPONSIBLE FOR
SECURELY FASTENING THE ENCLOSURE IN YOUR VEHICLE. MAKE SURE
THE MOUNTING SCREWS WILL NOT PUNCTURE THE GAS TANK/BRAKE
LINES/WIRING OR INTERFERE WITH ANY MECHANICAL PARTS ON THE
UNDERSIDE OF THE MOUNTING SURFACE.
The PTRTP builds on the overwhelming success
of our down-firing, thin-profile subwoofer enclosure
by adding a signature KICKER amplifier to power it.
Sporting a passive radiator and KICKER amplification,
this box has been perfectly tuned and engineered
from all angles, acoustic and electric, to be the
absolute best-sounding, most-efficient, and loudest
enclosure possible. Complete your system with a
pair of KICKER coaxial speakers and mulit-channel
amplifier for an uncompromising audio experience.
Use this manual to install and operate your PTRTP
Enclosure.

Installation
Wiring
Disconnect the vehicle’s battery to avoid an electrical
short.
1. Make the ground wire as short as possible, 24”
(60cm) or less, and connect the ground wire to a
paint-and-corrosion-free, solid, metal area of the
vehicle’s chassis.
2. Connect the ground wire to the Quick-Connect
Power Plug.
3. Run power wire to the battery.
4. Install a fuse holder in-line with the power wire as
close as possible to the battery (withing 18”), making
sure there is no fuse installed in the fuse holder.
5. Connect the power wire to the Quick-Connect
Power Plug.
6. Connect remote wire to the Quick-Connect Power
Plug (See Automatic Turn-On section to learn more).
7. Connect the Quick-Connect Power Plug to the
amplifier.
8. Install the recommended fuse into the in-line fuse
holder.
9. If you ever need to remove the enclosure from
the vehicle after it has been installed, please make
sure to remove the fuse from the fuse holder on the
power wire first before unplugging the quick-connect
power plug. The ground wire should be the last
wire disconnected – just the opposite as when you
installed it.

Mounting
Choose a structurally sound location to mount your
KICKER powered subwoofer enclosure. Make sure
the mounting screws will not puncture the gas tank/
brake lines/wiring or interfere with any mechanical
parts on the underside of the mounting surface.
Choose a location that allows at least 4” (10cm) of
open ventilation for the amplifier. If possible, mount
the enclosure in the climate-controlled passenger
compartment. A flat surface is required.
If the supplied mounting hardware is not applicable
to your installation, some other means of securely
attaching the enclosure to the vehicle must be used.
Mount the brackets to the
bottom of the enclosure
using the supplied smaller
screws. Securely attach
the enclosure to the
vehicle with the supplied
larger screws.
9English
Operation
Automatic Turn-On: KICKER powered enclosures
offer two different automatic turn-on modes; +12V
and DC Offset.
• Remote Turn-On: Run 18 gauge wire from the
Remote Turn-On Lead on your source unit to the
Remote Turn-On input of the Terminal Adapter.
• DC Offset Turn-On: The DC Offset mode detects
a >2.5V DC offset from the HI-Level speaker outputs
when the source unit has been turned on.
Input Level: The inputs on KICKER powered
enclosures are capable of receiving either Hi
(speaker-level) or Low-level (RCA) signals from your
source unit. Set the Input Level switch on the side
panel to match the outputs of your source unit.
Input Gain Control: The input gain control is not a
volume control. It matches the output of the source
unit to the input level of the amplifier. Maximum power
out of the amplifier is possible with the gain in the
10English
lowest position. Incorrectly setting the gain can result
in distorted output or damage to, and premature
failure of, your enclosure. For a quick setup, turn the
source unit up to about 3/4 volume (if the source unit
goes to 30, turn it to 25). Slowly turn up (clockwise)
the gain on the amplifier until you can hear audible
distortion, then turn it down a little.
Bass Boost Control: The variable bass boost
control on the side panel is designed to give you
increased output (0–6dB) at 40 Hz. The setting for
this control is subjective. If you turn it up, you must
readjust the input gain control to avoid clipping the
powered enclosure’s amplifier.
Phase Switch: The phase switch lets you invert the
phase of the signal played through your powered
subwoofer. This is useful if the speakers in your
system are out of phase with the subwoofer. Toggle
this switch to find the position that gives you the best
bass response.
X-Over Freq: The variable crossover on the side
panel allows you to adjust the crossover frequency
from 50–120Hz. The setting for this control is
subjective; 80Hz is a good place to start.
Remote Bass Control: With the included remote
bass control, you have the ability to control the output
level of your powered enclosure remotely. To surface-
mount the remote bass level control, simply screw
the remote to the chosen location, then run the cable
from the controller to the “Remote Bass” jack on the
amplifier panel. Do NOT connect/disconnect while
the amplifier is on.
11English
Connect the cable to the remote and the Remote
Bass connection on the amplifier
Remote cable passes audio; do not run cable parallel
to power wires.

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. The PWR/PRT LED on the side panel of your amplifier will reflect
the state of the amplifier and the vehicle’s charging system. When the LED is blue, this
indicates the amplifier is turned on and no trouble exists.
Blue LED off, no output? With a Volt Ohm Meter (VOM) check the following: +12
volt power terminal (should read +12V to +16V) Remote turn-on terminal (should
read +12V to +16V) Check for reversed power and ground connections Ground
terminal, for proper conductivity.
Blue LED on, no output? Check the following: RCA connections Test speaker
outputs with a “known” good speaker. Substitute source unit with a “known” good
source unit. Check for a signal in the RCA cable feeding the amplifier with the VOM
meter set to measure “AC” voltage.
Red LED flickering with loud music? The red LED indicates low battery voltage.
Check all the connections in your vehicle’s charging system. It may be necessary to
replace or charge your vehicle’s battery or replace your vehicle’s alternator.
Red LED on, no output? 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. Amplifier shuts down only while
vehicle is running = voltage protection circuitry is engaged. Voltage to the amplifier is
not within the 10–16 volt operating range. Have the vehicle’s charging and electrical
system inspected. 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 or low output? Check the balance control on source unit Check the RCA (or
speaker input) and speaker output connections.
Alternator noise-whining sound with engine’s RPM? Check for damaged RCA
(or speaker input) cable 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.
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.
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.
