ZXRC REMOTE BASS
INSTALLATION
1. mount the
metal bracket
4-conductor phone cable
back view
2. slide the housing until it snaps
into the metal bracket
Input Level: The RCA inputs on KICKER ZX amplifi ers are capable of receiving either Hi or Low-level signals
from your source unit. If the only output available from your source unit is a Hi-Level signal, simply press in the
Input Level switch on the amplifi er. Refer to the wiring section of this manual for additional instructions.
Crossover Control: The variable crossover on the top of the amplifi er allows you to adjust the crossover
frequency from 50–200Hz. The setting for this control is subjective; 80Hz is a good place to start.
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.
Bass Boost Control: The variable bass boost control on the top of the amplifi er 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 readjust
the input gain control to avoid clipping the amplifi er.
Remote Bass-ZXRC: With the ZXRC remote bass level control, you have the ability to control the output
level of the amplifi er remotely. To mount the ZXRC remote bass level control, simply screw the metal bracket to
the chosen location, then slide the housing onto the bracket until it snaps into place. Run the cable from the
controller to the “Remote Bass” jack on the amplifi er chassis.
