ZX AMPLIFIERS
ZX.1-SERIES AMPLIFIERS Owner’s Manual
INSTALLATION
Mounting: Choose a structurally sound location to mount your KICKER amplifi er. 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 amplifi er. If possible, mount the amplifi er in the climate-controlled passenger compartment. Drill
four holes using a 7/64” (3mm) bit and use the supplied #8 screws to mount the amplifi er.
Wiring: Disconnect the vehicle’s battery to avoid an electrical short. Then, connect the ground wire to the
amplifi er. 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 of this same gauge (or larger) between the
battery’s negative post and the vehicle chassis is recommended.
The ZX amplifi er has dual input sensitivity differential RCA inputs which will receive either high or low level signals
from your car stereo’s source unit. Ideally, when connecting the source unit to the amplifi er, the ZX amplifi er’s
input level switch should be set to “LO” and a low-level signal should run from the source unit’s stereo RCA
