KX Amplifier
System Diagrams
The following diagrams show the most common configurations
for your Kicker KX series amplifier.
TWO CHANNEL OPERATION (STEREO)
These KX amplifiers are capable of operating into a minimum
impedance of 2 ohms per channel in stereo operation. Modern
high performance speakers have a lower DC Resistance than
what used to be available. The Kicker Coaxial and Component
Speakers are rated at four ohms (some DC Resistances may be
as low as 3 ohms) and work with any amplifier designed to oper-
ate at a four ohm load. If you want to use two Kicker Coaxial or
Component Speakers on a single channel of your amplifier wire
the speakers in series. This will improve the sound quality, lower
the total harmonic distortion and lessen the thermal load at the
amplifier. This may prevent an amplifier from shutting down, due
to over-current protection circuitry.
BRIDGED OPERATION (MONO)
KX.2 series amplifiers are capable of operating into a
minimum impedance of 4 ohms when in bridged operation.
STEREO AND MONO SIMULTANEOUSLY (SAMS)
KX.2 series amplifiers are capable of operating into a
minimum impedance of 4 ohms mono and 2 ohm stereo
simultaneously with the use of passive crossovers.
Installation
One pair of 4 Ohm Speakers or
two pairs of 4 Ohm Speakers
wired in series is recommended.
