OPERATION

Automatic Turn-On Selection: The PXA series offers two automatic turn-on modes that can be selected on

the end panel; +12V or DC Offset. Using the DC Offset mode causes the REM terminal wire to have +12V out

for turning on additional ampliﬁ ers.

• Remote Turn-On: Set the switch to +12V to use the remote turn-on lead from the PXA harness. Run 18

gauge wire from the Remote Turn-On Lead on your source unit to the REM wire on the PXA harness. (Best

for Lo-Level input)

• DC Offset Turn-On: The DC Offset mode detects a 6V DC offset from the HI-Level speaker outputs when

the source unit has been turned on. (Best for Hi-Level input)

Input Level: The RCA inputs on KICKER PXA ampliﬁ ers are capable of receiving either Hi or Low-level signals

from your source unit. When using a Hi-Level signal, simply set the Input Level switch on the ampliﬁ er to HI.

LO-PASS Switches: Use the LO-PASS switches behind the protective rubber covering of the ampliﬁ er to set

the internal crossover. Choose a cutoff of 60Hz, 80Hz, 100Hz, or 120Hz depending on the conﬁ guration of

switches 1 and 2. Never change the switches with the audio system on!

Bass Boost: The bass boost switch is designed to give you increased output (6dB) at 40Hz. If turned on, it is

recommended that you readjust the input gain control to avoid clipping the ampliﬁ er.

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 ampliﬁ er. 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 ampliﬁ er up until you can hear audible distortion, then turn it

down a little.

Remote Bass-CXRC (sold separately): You have the ability to control the output level of the ampliﬁ er

remotely with the CXRC. To surface-mount the CXRC remote, screw the remote to the chosen location, then

run the cable from the controller to the “Remote Bass” jack on the ampliﬁ er panel. Do NOT connect/disconnect

while the ampliﬁ er is on.
