Please visit www.kicker.com for the most current information. To get the best performance from your new KICKER speakers, we recommend using genuine KICKER accessories and wiring. Please allow two weeks of break-in time for the speakers to reach optimum performance. Pro Tip: You're a KICKER amplifier and a few cables away from a full system upgrade that will dominate any factory system! KICKER line of amplifiers make it easy to upgrade to solid bass with your existing or stock source unit. Also, ask your dealer about KICKER Speaker upgrades. English 4 PXA400.4 Installation Mounting Choose a structurally sound location to mount your KICKER amplifier. 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. Drill four holes using a 7/64" (3mm) bit and use the supplied #8 screws to mount the amplifier. English 15 Power Wiring Click Here for Amplifier Install Kits Model External Fuse (sold separately) Power/Ground Wire KICKER Wiring Kit PXA400.4 1 x 60 Ampere 8 Gauge KMPK8, PK8, CK8 Disconnect the vehicle's battery to avoid an electrical short. A good ground connection is important. If the PXA is mounted in the front fairing of a motorcycle, it will be best to extend the ground wire all the way to the battery. Make the ground wire short, 24" (60cm) or less and, if not conneted to the battery, connect it to a paint-andcorrosion-free, solid metal area of the vehicle's chassis. Adding an additional ground wire of this same gauge (or larger) between the battery's negative post and the vehicle chassis is recommended. Keep the audio signal 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 at the blue +12V constant wire. Fuse installation should be as close as possible to the battery, and no further than 18" (45cm) of the battery, and in-line with the harness' power cable, which is connected to your PXA Amplifier. Make sure the power wire is routed so that it will not be damaged, crimped, or shorted. English 16 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. amp1 & amp2 inputs remote bass power wire adapters (if necessary) remote turn-on ground wire +12V constant wire 24" (60cm) external fuse 18" (45cm) 12V English 17 For multiple amplifier installations where distribution blocks are used, each amplifier should have its proper-rated fuse, or breaker, installed between the amplifier and the distribution block within eighteen inches of the block, or on the distribution block if it provides for fusing. The primary power wire should also be fused between the battery and distribution block, within eighteen inches of the battery's positive terminal, with a fuse or breaker rated at least to the sum of the individual amplifier's fuse values, but doesn't exceed the capacity of your wiring. 18" (45cm) external fuse 12V battery power distribution block 18" (45cm) external fuse 18" (45cm) external fuse to amplifiers English 18 Speaker Wiring (4-Channel Operation) AMP1 left (white) AMP2 right (purple) AMP1 right (grey) English AMP2 left (green) 19 (Bridged Operation) AMP1 left (white) positive AMP1 right (grey) negative AMP2 left (green) positive AMP2 right (purple negative You may use a combination of stereo and bridged operation (eg AMP1 Left & Right, and AMP 2 Bridged subwoofer) English 20 Operation Features Automatic Turn-On: The PXA-series offers 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 blue REM wire on the PXA amplifier's wiring harness. · 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. To access the operational features of the PXA amplifier, remove the six Phillips-head screws from the bottom of the amp which are covering the operation panel. English 21 2 1 1 Input Gain Controls 2 Crossover, Fader & Input Level Switches Input Gain Controls: 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 lowest position. Incorrectly setting the gain can result in distorted output or damage to, and premature failure of, your speakers. 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. English 22 To use the preferred method of setting the input gain using a voltmeter or oscilloscope, begin by turning off the amplifier and disconnecting all speakers from it. Turn the gain knob completely off (counterclockwise) and all crossovers off, or to their least effective setting. If a remote bass accessory is connected to the amplifier, turn it completely on (clockwise). Ensure all EQ and DSP settings on the source unit such as bass, treble, fader, seating position etc are set to linear, flat, center, or off. Turn on the amplifier. Play a 0dB sine wave through your source unit and increase the volume to about 3/4 of maximum. Sine wave tracks can be downloaded for free from KICKER.com under the "Support" tab. Use the 50Hz sine wave to set the gain for a subwoofer and the 1kHz sine wave for full-range speakers. Set your voltmeter or oscilloscope to measure AC voltage. Place the voltmeter's probes on the amplifier's speaker output terminals. With the sine wave playing, slowly turn the gain knob clockwise and watch the AC voltage on the voltmeter increase. English 23 When the desired voltage is shown (reference power chart insert), or you start to see the waveform square off stop increasing the gain, turn the amplifier off, reconnect all speakers and set the crossovers to your desired setting. Your gain is now set for maximum unclipped power from the amplifier. If you increase amplitude using settings on the source unit or the bass boost on the amplifier it will introduce distortion and you will need to redo these steps. English 24 Never change the switches with the audio system on! Input Level: Choose whether to receive a HI or LO-level signal from your source unit. Fader Switch: Turn the fader switch ON if you are running two sets of inputs (front and rear for example) to the amplifier. Leave the fader switch OFF if you want to drive all channels from a single stereo input. HI-PASS: Use the HI-PASS switches to set the internal crossover. Choose a cutoff of 80Hz, 120Hz depending on the configuration of switches. OFF for a full range signal. LO-PASS: Use the LO-PASS configuration when in bridged operation with a subwoofer to set the internal crossover. This will set the cutoff to 80Hz. OFF for a full range signal. English 25 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 is a Power Protection LED on the side power panel of your Kicker PXA series amplifier. Depending on the state of the amplifier and the vehicle's charging system, the LED will glow either Red or Blue. When the blue LED is lit 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. For Hi-Level input, check input wires for +6V. 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. Protection LED flashing 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. Protection 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 1016 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. Reduced bass response? 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. 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.
