A Brief Plug For The SXRC SX Amplifier Remote Control And Our Support Materials At www.KICKER.com

The SXRC is a component we envisioned from the start to compliment your KICKER SX Series amplifier. That is why all SX Series amplifiers have been built from day one with the ability to be controlled remotely...and now you have the tool to do so, the SXRC. The SXRC incorporates the latest in microprocessor technology which allows you to not only update the software in your SX Series amplifier (so you are always on the cutting edge) but also group, diagnose and control them in a way never before possible in the car audio world. This technological marvel is loaded with diagnostic and control features that literally put the SX Series amplifier controls at your fingertips from the driver’s seat...plus a whole lot more! PLEASE read this manual so you have a thorough understanding of the capabilities, installation and operation of your SXRC. Also, sometimes things change, we find things we overlooked or a customer points out a mistake we made when writing this manual. When in doubt, always check out the SUPPORT section at www.KICKER.com for the latest information. If we change anything in this manual, or add to it, you will always find the latest version available for download there. Last but not least...grab a cold beverage, kick back and read about this latest creation from the Livin’ Loud Labs. Enjoy!

Full Control Of SX Amplifiers The SXRC gives you

complete access to all settings and diagnostic tools for up to 16 KICKER SX Series amplifiers.

Very Important Note!!!

Ok...we know you are chomping at the bit to get this new toy plugged in and working but there are some initial steps you will have to take before you can use your SXRC with your SX Series amplifiers.

After you follow the instructions for mounting and wiring your SXRC into your system you will have to perform these steps before you can use your SXRC.

1.) SET EACH OF YOUR SX AMPLIFIERS TO A UNIQUE

COMMUNICATION ADDRESS.

In order for the SXRC to properly communicate with all your SX Series amplifiers, each amplifier must have its own unique Communication Address.

2.) PERFORM A SOFTWARE UPGRADE TO ALL OF YOUR

SX SERIES AMPLIFIERS!

The SXRC has new software (Version 3.00) loaded into it for all SX Series amplifiers. By using a one-at-a-time process, each of your amplifiers will need to be updated to Version

3.00 so that all SXRC functions work properly.

So get your initial mounting and wiring done but keep in mind that BOTH of the steps outlined above MUST be performed before your SXRC will work properly with your SX Series amplifiers.

PLEASE read the entire manual so you are aware of ALL the steps required for this procedure.

Mounting

DIN Mounting

Using the supplied hardware you can mount the SXRC into a

standard DIN sized opening.

Be sure you will have a minimum of 2” (51 mm) clearance depth behind your mounting surface panel to mount the SXRC.

If not using an existing DIN opening, you will first need to cut an opening that is 7-3/16” (182 mm) by 2-1/8” (53 mm) into your mounting surface panel.

It is VERY important that you DO NOT make the hole any larger than the specified dimensions. If you make the opening too large then the mounting cage will not work properly.

Using the existing DIN opening or the one you just created, slide the Metal DIN Mounting Cage into the opening. Secure the Cage by bending the Mounting Tabs on the sides, top and bottom of the Cage using a small flat-blade screwdriver. Use only the tabs that when bent will secure the Cage to the Mounting Surface.

Next, place the Plastic Cosmetic Trim Ring into the Metal DIN Mounting cage. There are two plastic retainers in the Trim Ring (one on top and one on bottom) that will snap into place.

Surface Mounting With Screws

The SXRC Control Head can also be surface mounted if you do not have a spare DIN opening in your dash or do not want to cut one into an existing panel.

The back of the SXRC Control Head has two metal inserts designed to work with M3 screws.

Find a suitable location and drill two 1/8 inch (3 mm) holes to secure the SXRC Control Head.The holes should be 5-17/32” (140 mm) apart from center to center.

NOTE: You will need to have access to the area behind this

location to install the mounting screws.

Once your holes are drilled you can use the two supplied M3 screws to secure the SXRC Control Head to your mounting surface. If the supplied screws are not long enough to reach the SXRC Control Head you can supply your own M3 screws of the required length to secure the SXRC.

NOTE!!! Whether using the supplied M3 screws from the SXRC

kit or your own, the screws can not enter into the SXRC more than 5/16” (4 mm). If you attempt to insert the screw any deeper than this into the SXRC Control Head you will run the risk of damaging the unit.

Route the SXRC Control Head cable to your SXRC Interface Box location.Your SXRC Control Head is now mounted and you can move on to the wiring section of this manual.

Surface Mounting With Velcro

If you do not want to cut any openings or drill any holes you can use a material such as Velcro™ to secure your SXRC Control Head to your dashboard or other mounting surface. Velcro™ is not supplied with your SXRC but can be obtained from any local fabric or retail store.

Velcro™ is a two piece product, one half is soft and fuzzy(loop) while the other is stiff and prickly (hook). Place a 5” (127 mm) strip of the loop half on the SXRC.

Place the 5” (127 mm) strip of the hook half on the mounting surface.

The SXRC Control Head will now be able to stick to the dash or other mounting surface. Route the SXRC Control Head cable to your SXRC Interface Box location.Your SXRC Control Head is now mounted and you can move on to the wiring section of this manual.

Got No Time For Mounting

If this is the case there are many options...ranging from ‘Ok’ to ‘What are you thinking?’...and we do not recommend any of them. But we know some of you may use these...or a variation of them...so we included these for your entertainment. Got your own idea? E-mail them to questions@kicker.com, Attn: Hank.

In the center console. This one makes some sense as it keeps the SXRC in an ‘easy to access’ location while protecting it from your gym bag that gets tossed in the ride everyday for ball practice.

In the glove box. Another excellent choice for protection. Just be sure you run the SXRC Control Head cable through the back of the glove box...not out the front with the door pinching the wire.

Lay it in the seat. This allows quick and easy access to your SXRC...just be sure that your girl or best friend Larry does not sit on it when sharing your ride. Being ‘sat on and squashed’ is not covered under warranty.

Lay it in the catch-all pocket in your center console. This also allows quick and easy access to your SXRC...plus it adds another item to rattle along with all those nickels, dimes and quarters sitting there. Could be very harmonious.

Stand vertically in your cup holder. This is an excellent location that puts your SXRC within reach. Just be sure to tell your guests riding in the car that one cup holder is for you and the other is for your remote...they will just have to hold their 128 oz. Super Ultra Chug drink.

Under your seat. This location is not ideal but is usable. When you need to adjust your SXRC simply ‘tap’ the brakes which will slide the unit forward onto your floor mat for easy access.

Using the R-Tool

The included R-Tools are used to remove the SXRC Control Head from the Trim Ring/Metal Cage assembly. The R-Tools simply slide into the notched area on both sides of the Plastic Cosmetic Trim Ring and will release the clips holding the SXRC Control Head.

Wiring

Now that you have mounted your SXRC Control Head it is time to do some wiring. The first step is to plug your SXRC Control Head into the SXRC Interface Box.

Next, run a fused (5 amp) constant 12 volt, ground and remote turn on to the SXRC Interface Box. Connect the wiring to the removable power plug by loosening the set screws, inserting the stripped wire and then tightening the set screw.

Now insert the removable power plug into the SXRC Interface

Box.

You should have something resembling this picture at this point. The Control Head plugged in and the power plug wired correctly and plugged in.

NOTE!!!

There are 8 pins in each RJ45 jack used on the SXRC Interface Box and on SX Series amplifiers. We only use 3 of these pins for the Digital Communications Network: Pins #2, #7 and #8.

If pins #2, #7 or #8 are bent or damaged, you will not be able to establish reliable communications on the SXRC Digital Communications Network.

A common issue is if your SX Series amplifier has been used with the Remote Bass Level Controller prior to being used with the SXRC. Some cables that came with the SX Series amplifiers for use with the Remote Bass level Controller will bend pins #1 and #8 down too far causing poor contact with the SXRC Communications Network Cable. To fix this simply take a small screwdriver or paper-clip and pull these pins back up into place.

Check all the RJ45 jacks on your amplifiers to insure the pins are up and in place before plugging in any of your SXRC Communications Network Cables.

Now we can run the Network Cables from the SXRC Interface Box to your SX Series amplifiers to create the SXRC Communications Network.

Run the supplied 5-meter Network Cable from the Interface Box to the REMOTE IN jack of your first SX Series amplifier.

Run the first supplied 1-meter Network Cable from the first SX Series amplifier’s REMOTE OUT jack to the REMOTE IN jack of the second amplifier.

Run the second supplied 1-meter Network Cable from the second SX Series amplifier’s REMOTE OUT jack to the REMOTE IN jack of the third amplifier.

You can continue adding amplifiers (16 total) by following this setup and supplying your own Network Cables.

SXRC Network Cables

The SXRC is supplied with 3 Network Cables, one 5-meter and two 1-meter. This is enough to connect 3 SX Series amplifiers to the SXRC Interface Box. You can connect up to 16 SX Series amplifiers to the SXRC by supplying additional cables.

If you need additional cables or need to use custom lengths, you can purchase pre-made cables at any computer or electronics store. You want to purchase a Straight-Through, Ethernet Network Cable.

If you want to make your own custom length cables you will need:

•Bulk Cat3, Cat5, Cat5e or Cat6 network cable.

•Crimp on RJ45 plugs.

•Cable cutters.

•Electrician's scissors.

•RJ45 crimp tool.

•A UTP/Network Cable stripping tool.

Step 1.) Cut a piece of net-

work cable the required length from the bulk cable roll using your Cable Cutters.

NOTE: The wires must be cut at a 90 degree angle to insure

proper fit in the RJ45 plug.

Step 5.) Slide an RJ45 plug (clip side down) onto the cable

and seat it fully onto the cable. The 8 wires should butt up against the end of the plug tightly. Crimp the plug onto the wire securely using the RJ45 Crimp Tool. Repeat the process for the other end of the cable.

Step 6.) Lay the cable ends side by side (clip down) and verify

the wire colors are in the correct order. The ends should be identical. If they are not, cut off the incorrect end and return to step 2 to put on a new RJ45 plug.

Software Updates

Now that you have the SXRC mounted and wired properly it is time to update the software in all of your SX Series amplifiers. This process has to be completed for EACH amplifier and does require you to disconnect and reconnect cables between each step. Please read the instructions and follow them exactly as described.

You only have to do this setup and programming process one time for each amplifier.

Step 1.) Un-plug the

Communications Network Cables from the REMOTE OUT jacks on ALL the SX Series amplifiers. Leave the Communications Network Cables connected to the REMOTE IN jacks. The SXRC Interface Box should only be connected to the first SX Series amplifier as the diagram to the right is showing.

NOTE!!!

Each SX Series amplifier must be assigned its own unique address from the amplifier’s keypad before it can be updated and controlled by the SXRC. This has to be done at each amplifier

’s

keypad and can not be done from the SXRC. Think of the

amplifiers like houses...no two houses can share the same street address...the mailman would throw a complete fit! Well, the SXRC feels the same way about two amps sharing the same Remote Communication Address.

Each series of SX amplifiers (.2-Stereo, .1-Mono Block, .4-Four Channel) has a unique address range that is not shared between the others. So it is impossible to accidentally share addresses from one series with another. All you need to do is assign a unique (different) address to each amplifier in you system. The possible choices for each series are:

All SX Series amplifiers are shipped from the factory with their Remote Address set to the lowest setting.

For example, lets say you have 4 SX.2, 4 SX.4 and 4 SX.1 amplifiers in your system for a grand total of 16 amplifiers. Set the Remote Addresses as such:

SX.2 # 1 - 10 SX.2 # 2 - 11 SX.2 # 3 - 12 SX.2 # 4 - 13

SX.2 Series - Addresses 10-59 SX.1 Series - Addresses 60-109 SX.4 Series - Addresses 110-119

SX.1 # 1 - 60 SX.1 # 2 - 61 SX.1 # 3 - 62 SX.1 # 4 - 63

SX.4 # 1 - 110 SX.4 # 2 - 111 SX.4 # 3 - 112 SX.4 # 4 - 113

The important thing is that no matter what combination of amplifiers you are running, each amplifier must have its own unique Remote Address.

It is also a good idea to write down which amplifier has been assigned which address. This will help you later in identifying the amplifier and assigning it a name based on its function. For example:

BASS AMP 1, BASS AMP 2, FRONTSTAGE, MIDBASS,

etc. A fill-in-the-blank form is provided in the back of this manual to assist you.

Step 2.) Power up your system so you can access the settings

and controls of your SX Series amplifiers. When the amplifiers power up you will see

* KICKER *. You are now in the amplifiers

Default Screen.

Step 3.) Press the ENT key to enter the Main

Menu of the amplifier.

Step 4.) Press the UP or DOWN key until the

display reads

SYSTEM. Press the ENT key to enter

the System Menu.

Step 5.) Press the UP or DOWN key until the

display reads

Remote adr. Press the ENT key to

enter the Remote Address Selection Menu.

Step 6.) Press the UP or DOWN key to select

the Remote Address you want to assign to this amplifier. Press the

ESC key three times to save

your setting and return to the Default Screen.

Step 7.) Repeat steps 3 through 6 for each amplifier.

Step 8.) Power cycle your system by turning it off, waiting 3

seconds, then turning it back on.

NOTE:

At this point each SX Series amplifier has been assigned a unique Remote Address. Be sure you have properly done this to each amplifier before proceeding! If multiple amplifiers share the same address, they all will be detected and you will corrupt the software that is loaded into each of the amplifiers. If this happens the SXRC display will flash

FAILED and then show

Manual SW Update Required . You will then need to perform a

Manual Software Update (

SW UPDATES Menu) as described on

page 73 in this manual for each amplifier.

If you need assistance please visit your local KICKER dealer or contact KICKER Technical Services.

Step 9.) The SXRC will display

STARTING * while the amp(s) and remote

are booting. When completed booting it will switch to

* KICKER * . You are now in the

Default Menu.

Step 10.) Press the ENT key one time to enter

the SXRC Main Menu. The first Main Menu item will be displayed which is

AMP ADJ.

Step 11.) Press the UP or DOWN key until

the display reads

The SXRC will now ask you if you want to save the current settings of your amplifier into a memory preset. Use the

UP or DOWN keys to select:

I.) SAVE - YES

J.) SAVE - NO

and press the ENT key to select.

If you select

SAVE - NO then the

amplifier’s current settings are not stored into the SXRC.

If you select

SAVE - YES then you

choose which Global Memory Location to store the amplifier’s settings in by using the

UP or DOWN key to scroll through

the options (

K, L, M, N). When the

memory you want to use is selected press the

ENT key to store. The SXRC

will respond by blinking

STORED (O) to

confirm the memory storing has completed successfully.

The display will then read

AUTOSEARCH

(P) which indicates the software update process has completed and the SXRC is ready to find and update another SX Series amplifier.

All of the above steps happen automatically once you initiate the

AUTOSEARCH function.

SXRC Remote Control

Installation

NOTE:

If steps 8-13 worked correctly, you have taken the first step to

remote control bliss, skip to step 14. If not, then read on.

If the display came back blinking

0 Units after doing the

AUTOSEARCH then there is a problem with the Communications

Network.

• Go back and double check your Communications Network cable and make sure it is inserted properly and ‘snapped’ into place.

• If you have purchased different cables, double check that they are Straight-Through Ethernet Network cables.

• If you have made your own cables double check them for secure and proper termination.

• Did you check the pins (#1 and #8) in the SX Series amplifiers to make sure they are not bent or damaged?

You have to get the Communications Network working with the first amplifier and update its software before we can proceed with the rest of the amplifiers so double check everything. Try a different cable if necessary. Repeat steps 8-13 after double checking your cable and jacks. Once the first amp is successfully updated and in the SXRC Communications Network you can move on to step 14.

If you can not get the amplifier to accept a software update then visit your local KICKER dealer or call KICKER Technical Services for more troubleshooting advice.

Step 14.) If you are

only controlling one SX Series amplifier with the SXRC (yeah...right...we bet you have at least two!) you can skip to the next section in the manual titled Operation (look for the gray box tabs on the side of the pages...in case you missed that up to now). If you have more than one SX Series amplifier to control then continue with Step 15.

Step 15.) Plug the

Communications Network Cable from the REMOTE IN jack on the second amplifier into the REMOTE OUT jack of the first amplifier in the chain. Even if you have more than two amps, at this point only the first and second one should be connected as the diagram on the right shows.

NOTE: If you take longer than three minutes to plug the

Network Cable in from the second amplifier (Step 15) the SXRC will time out and return to the scrolling Default Menu. If this happens you will then need to skip Step 16 and return to the Autosearch Menu by following Steps 17-19.

Step 16.) If the ISIS Display is showing

AUTOSEARCH press the ENT key to detect, update

and load the second amplifier. Skip to Step 20.

Step 17.) Press the ENT key one time to enter

the SXRC Main Menu. The first Main Menu item will be displayed which is

AMP ADJ.

Step 18.) Press the UP or DOWN key until

the display reads

SXRC SETUP . Press the ENT

key to enter the SXRC SETUP Menu.

Step 19.) Press the UP or DOWN key until

the display reads

AUTOSearch . Press the ENT

key to activate the AUTOSEARCH function.

Step 20.) The SXRC is now searching

for the second amplifier connected to the Communications Network. It will do the exact same sequence (A-P) as in step 13. Once it detects the amplifier it will load the new software into the amplifier and verify the software upload has been successful. The remote will then display how many amplifiers have been detected (2 at this point), successfully updated and brought into the SXRC Communications Network.

Like before, the SXRC will ask if you want to save the current settings of your second amplifier into a memory preset. Use the

UP or DOWN

keys to select SAVE - YES or SAVE - NO and press the

ENT key to select.

If you select

SAVE - NO then the amplifier’s current settings

are not stored into the SXRC.

NOTE:

The memory settings in the SXRC are a global memory system. What this means is that each memory preset (1-4) stores the settings of all (up to 16) the amplifiers connected to it. This allows you to have unique settings for each amplifier stored and ready for instant recall. If you chose

Memory-1 before, you can

choose it again. All amplifiers will have their individual settings stored here in memory location 1 for instant recall later.

If you select

SAVE - YES then you choose which Global

Memory Location to store the amplifier’s settings in by using the

UP or DOWN key to scroll through the options

(

Memory-1 through Memory-4). When the memory

you want to use is selected press the

ENT key to

store. The SXRC will respond by blinking

STORED to

confirm the memory storing has completed successfully.

The display will then read

AUTOSEARCH which indicates the

software update process has completed.

Step 35.) If you are controlling just four SX Series

amplifiers with the SXRC (A nice start...you can always add more...up to a total of 16) you can skip to the next section in the

manual titled Operation. If you have more than four SX Series amplifiers to control then continue with Step 36.

Step 36.) At this point the manual has walked you through

the process, step-by-step, on how to install, update and troubleshoot the connection of four SX Series amplifiers to the SXRC. If you are controlling more than four SX Series amplifiers (which we hope you are!) simply follow the same steps above (29-34) for each additional amplifier. The process is exactly the same. Just remember that you cannot add another amplifier until you get the current one recognized, updated and brought into the SXRC Communications Network.

The entire process is very easy, even though there seems to be quite a few steps. Once the SXRC detects a new amplifier on the SXRC Communications Network through the

Autosearch

function it takes approximately 90 seconds to load and verify the new software. So if you have 16 amplifiers, the entire process will take approximately 25-30 minutes. Remember, this only has to be done once.

If you need any further assistance with these steps please visit your local KICKER dealer or contact KICKER Technical Services for more guidance.

After you have connected all of your SX Series amplifiers and updated the software, you can move on to the Operation section of this manual to learn all the features, functions and operation of your SXRC Remote Control.

SXRC Remote Control

Operation

Navigation

Your KICKER SXRC uses the latest in microprocessor technology control to provide you with operational information about your amplifiers, full control over amplifier settings, real-time diagnostics, global memory presets and amplifier group control capability. All of this from the driver’s seat of your car using a very simple multi-level menu-driven operating system.

The menu system is designed in layers. There is a starting point and you simply keep drilling down until you get to the menu item you want to view or change. This menu tree gives you an example of how the SXRC menu structure is set up.

NOTE: Not all menus and menu items shown.

As you can see there can be an infinite number of menu levels and each of these menu levels can have an infinite number of its own items.

Navigating the menu structure is very

easy using the 5-way keypad.

You use the

UP and DOWN keys to scroll

through the available menu items. The

ENT key is used to

select that menu item. The

ESC key backs you up one

menu level from where you are, and the

HOME key can

return you all the way to MAIN MENU by pressing and holding it for 1.5 seconds.

For example let’s begin at the DEFAULT SCREEN; our goal is

to get to the RELEASE menu item. Pressing the

ENT key would get us to MAIN MENU. Now

use the

UP or DOWN keys to scroll to SXRC

SETUP

, and then press the ENT key. Now you

are in the SXRC SETUP MENU. Using the

or DOWN keys again you scroll to GROUP AMPS and press the

ENT key. You are now in the GROUP AMPS

MENU. Use the

UP or DOWN keys again to

scroll to

RELEASE and then press the ENT key.

That’s it! You are there.

This is how you view information and change settings in your

SXRC Remote Control.

Continuing our example, we are now in the RELEASE item in

the GROUP AMPS MENU. If we press the

ESC key we would go back up to the GROUP

AMPS MENU. If we press the

ESC key again

we would go to the SXRC SETUP MENU. One more press of the

ESC key and we are in the

MAIN MENU.

Let’s start at the RELEASE item in the GROUP AMPS MENU

again but instead press and hold the

HOME key for 1.5

seconds. Doing this will take us all the way back to the MAIN MENU in one key press. Pressing and holding the

HOME key

will return you all the way back to the MENU ITEM you started with in the MAIN MENU, no matter how deep in the menu level structure you are. Pretty cool!

This is a very quick way to return to the MAIN MENU after

drilling down several menu layers to view or change an item.

When adjusting any SXRC control the

UP and DOWN arrow

keys have 2 speeds, normal and accelerated.

Pressing and releasing the key repeatedly will scroll through the menu items at normal speed.

Pressing the key and holding it in for longer than 1.5 seconds will activate the accelerated scrolling mode and scroll through the menu items at a much faster rate. Releasing the key will return it to normal speed mode.

Once you select the AMP ADJ menu a list of all the amplifiers

connected to the SXRC will be available. The list will show the current name of the SX Series amplifier. This will either be the default name from the factory (example

SX-500/2) or any

name you may have assigned to the amp.

Use the

UP and DOWN keys to scroll

through the list of available amplifiers. If you have several of the same model of amplifier installed and did not change the name prior to installing the SXRC then you will see the same

name when you press the

UP or DOWN keys on the SXRC. In

other words it appears like nothing changed. It did...just read on.

To help you identify which amp you are

currently viewing simply press and hold the

ENT key and the Remote Address of the

amplifier will be displayed. This will aid you in determining which amp you are currently viewing when you have multiple amps of the same make.

Changing the amplifiers name (coming up later in the manual) will help you here. Remember when we said to keep track of which amp had what unique Remote Address? It all makes sense now.

Once you have found the amplifier you wish to

adjust simply press the

ENT key to select it.

Operation

Once the amplifier you want to adjust is selected you will be able to choose from the following items. Some of these functions may not be available depending on if the amplifier is assigned to a Group and what LINK property the group has set. This is described in more detail in the SXRC SETUP menu.

Use the

UP and DOWN keys to scroll

through the selections above and press the

ENT key to select.

GAIN MENU - Here is where you adjust the selected amplifier’s

gain controls. The SX Series amplifiers’ UltraMatch™ gain structure features both a digital input gain attenuator with five selectable Gain Ranges AND 12dB of “tweakable” Gain adjustment in each range! This super wide adjustment range allows SX amplifiers to operate flawlessly with any source unit, pre-amplifier, or line driver.

In “Gear-Head” terms, the Gain Range and Gain adjustments can be compared to the gear box and gas pedal of a race car. The Gain Range represents what gear you’re in and the Gain represents stepping on the gas. In this menu, you are adjusting the gas pedal! The gear box comes up later.

Use the

UP and DOWN keys to scroll

through

LEFT CHN , RIGHT CHN or

BOTH CHNS and then press the ENT key to

select. SX.1 Series do not have Lef

t or Right channel options since it is a Mono-Block design. Skip this step and move to next paragraph.

Now use the UP and DOWN keys to increase or decrease the gain of the selected channel(s) in .5 dB increments from 0 dB to +12 dB. (

0.0 to 12.0)

Press the ESC key to save your adjustment and return to the

LEFT CHN, RIGHT CHN,

BOTH CHNS options menu. You can now

select another channel to adjust on this amplifier if desired. Does not apply to SX.1

Series. Pressing the ESC key at this point on a SX.1 Series amplifier exits the GAIN menu.

When you are done adjusting the gain on this amplifier press the

ESC key while in the

LEFT CHN, RIGHT CHN, BOTH CHNS options

menu to return to the AMP ADJ menu and choose another function to adjust.

NOTE:

While you are in the GAIN menu the

GAIN indicator on the ISIS VFD display is

lit. This indicates you are making adjustments in the GAIN menu.

The

LEFT and RIGHt indicators will light

up as well to indicate which amplifier channel(s) you are currently adjusting.

EQ MENU - Here is where you adjust the selected amplifier’s

single band parametric equalizer.

Use the

UP and DOWN keys to scroll

through

frequency, boost/cut and

bandwidth and then press the ENT key to

select.

FREQUENCY selects the center frequency of the equalizer and

can be set at any 1/12th octave spaced frequency from 20 Hz 20 kHz. (

20 Hz to 20325 Hz) SX.1 Series is 10 Hz to 200 Hz

in 1 Hz Steps.

Use the UP and DOWN keys to select your frequency. Press the

ESC key to save your

setting and return to the

frequency,

boost/cut, bandwidth options menu. You

can now select another equalizer option to adjust on this amplifier if desired.

bandwidth (better known as Q) can be set from .5 to 10 in .5

increments. In simple terms, lower Q effects more frequencies around the center frequency while higher Q effects fewer frequencies around the center frequency.

As an example, if our center frequency is 100 HZ, a Q of .5 (area in gray) effects many more frequencies around 100 Hz than a Q of 10 (area in black) There is no right or wrong Q, you use whatever fits the needs of the system or personal taste. KICKER uses a default Q of 3.

Use the

UP and DOWN keys to select your

bandwidth (Q) value and press the

ESC to

save your setting and return to the

frequency, boost/cut, bandwidth

options menu. You can now select another equalizer option to adjust on this amplifier if desired.

Boost/Cut is where you boost or cut the equalizer and has a

range of 36 dB;

-18 dB to +18 db in .5 dB steps. Keep in

mind that for every 3 dB of boost you are requiring the amplifier to use twice as much power in that equalized area. The default setting from KICKER is

FLAT (No boost or cut).

Use the

UP and DOWN keys to adjust your

boost or cut and press the

ESC key to

save your setting and return to the

frequency,boost/cut,bandwidth options

menu. You can now select another equalizer option to adjust on this amplifier if desired.

Use the UP and DOWN keys to scroll

ENT key to select.

GAIN MENU - Here is where you adjust the selected group’s

gain controls. All amplifiers in the group will be adjusted up or down when you adjust the gain control.

If each amplifier has different gain settings, the SXRC will display the gain level of the highest amplifier in the group . It also monitors and maintains any differences between channels or individual amplifiers that you may have set separately.

If you can not adjust a group up or down, then it means the channel differences are being maintained and there is no where to go. You will need to adjust each amplifier individually or set each amplifier’s gain to a similar setting.

Here are four of the many possible examples.

Example 1

Group-01 has two amplifiers in it, amp 1 has both channels gain set at

12.0 while

amp 2 is at

0.0. When you select this

group to adjust the gain you will see

12.0 in the display,the highest gain

setting of the group.

When you try to increase or decrease the gain setting of this group, nothing will happen. Since the gain range is 12 dB (0.0 dB to 12.0 dB) there is no way to increase or decrease the gain and maintain 12 dB of difference between the amplifiers. The SXRC is maintaining the differences you set between the amplifiers.

Example 2

Group-02 has two amplifiers in it, amp 1 has channel gains set at

3.0 (Left) and

9.0 (Right) while amp 2 is at 6.0 (Left)

and

3.0 (Right). When you select this

group to adjust the gain you will see

6.0

(Left) and 9.0 (Right) in the display, the highest gain settings of the group.

Since the gain range is 12 dB (0.0 dB to 12.0 dB) for both channels, when you try to increase or decrease the gain setting of this group you will only have 3 dB of movement in either direction. (3.0 dB to 0.0 dB in the Left channel) and (9.0 dB to 12.0 dB in the Right channel) This will maintain all the channel and amplifier gain differences while allowing you to adjust the gain of all the amplifiers.

SXRC Remote Control

Operation

Use the UP and DOWN keys to scroll through

LEFT CHN, RIGHT CHN or BOTH CHNS

and then press the ENT key to select. SX.1 Series do not have Left or Right channel options since it is a Mono-Block design. Skip this step and move to next paragraph.

Now use the UP and DOWN keys to increase or decrease the gain of the selected group’s channel(s) in .5 dB increments from 0 dB to +12 dB. (

0.0 to 12.0)

Press the ESC key to save your adjustment and return to the

LEFT, RIGHT, BOTH options

menu. You can now select another channel to adjust in this group if desired. Does not

apply to SX.1 Series. Pressing the ESC key at this point on a SX.1 Series amplifier exits the GAIN menu.

When you are done adjusting the gain in this group press the ESC key while in the

LEFT

CHN

, RIGHT CHN, BOTH CHNS options menu

to return to the GROUP ADJ menu and choose another function to adjust.

NOTE:

While you are in the GAIN menu the

GAIN indicator on the ISIS VFD display is

lit. This indicates you are making adjustments in the GAIN menu.

The

LEFT and RIGHt indicators will light

up as well to indicate which amplifier’s channel(s) you are currently adjusting.

Example 3

Group-07 has two amplifiers in it, amp 1 has both channels gain set at

0.0 while

amp 2 is at

0.0. When you select this

group to adjust the gain you will see

0.0 in the display, the highest gain

setting of the group.

Since the gain range is 12 dB (0.0 dB to

12.0 dB) and both amplifier’s channels are set at 0.0 dB, the SXRC will let you adjust through the full gain range. When you try to increase or decrease the gain setting of this group, you will have a full 12 dB swing up and down on both channels.

Example 4

Group-09 has two amplifiers in it, amp 1 has channel gains set at

0.0 (Left) and

12.0 (Right) while amp 2 is at 0.0

(Left) and 12.0 (Right). When you select this group to adjust the gain you will see

0.0 (Left) and 12.0 (Right) in

the display, the highest gain settings of the group.

Since the gain range is 12 dB (0.0 dB to 12.0 dB) for both channels, and each channel on each amplifier is separated by 12 dB, you can only adjust the gain if you do each channel separately. Choosing

BOTH CHNS will not work

but choosing just the

LEFT CHN or RIGHT CHN will allow full

adjustment of 12 dB on that channel.

EQ MENU - Here is where you adjust the selected group’s EQ

controls. All amplifiers in the group will be adjusted.

Use the

UP and DOWN keys to scroll

through

frequency, boost/cut and

bandwidth and then press the ENT key to

select.

FREQUENCY selects the center frequency of the equalizer and

can be set at any 1/12th octave spaced frequency from 20 Hz 20 kHz. (

20 Hz to 20325 Hz) SX.1 Series is 10 Hz to 200 Hz

in 1 Hz Steps.

Use the UP and DOWN keys to select your frequency. Press the

ESC key to save your

setting and return to the

frequency,

boost/cut, bandwidth options menu. You

can now select another equalizer option to adjust on this group if desired.

bandwidth (better known as Q) can be set from .5 to 10 in .5

increments. In simple terms, lower Q effects more frequencies around the center frequency while higher Q effects fewer frequencies around the center frequency.

As an example, if our center frequency is 100 HZ, a Q of .5 (area in gray) effects many more frequencies around 100 Hz than a Q of 10(area in black) There is no right or wrong Q, you use whatever fits the needs of the system or personal taste.

KICKER uses a default Q of 3.

Use the

UP and DOWN keys to select your

bandwidth (Q) value and press the

ESC to

save your setting and return to the

frequency, boost/cut, bandwidth

options menu. You can now select another equalizer option to adjust in this group if desired.

Boost/Cut is where you boost or cut the equalizer and has a

range of 36 dB;

-18 dB to +18 db in .5 dB steps. Keep in

mind that for every 3 dB of boost you are requiring the amplifier to use twice as much power in that equalized area. The default setting from KICKER is

FLAT (No boost or cut).

Use the

UP and DOWN keys to adjust your

boost or cut and press the

ESC key to

save your setting and return to the

frequency,boost/cut,bandwidth options

menu. You can now select another equalizer option to adjust in this group if desired.

So...if the Dim level (discussed next) is set to 3, you would only be able to lower the On level to 3. If you want to use a lower value for the On level you will need to lower the value of the Dim level.

SXRC Remote Control

Operation

group amps MENU - Here you can create and customize

amplifier groups in the SXRC. This is one of the most powerful and fun functions of the SXRC. Once you assign an amplifier to a group, it and all the other amplifiers in its’ group can be adjusted in unison from the GROUP ADJ menu. All amplifiers in a group still maintain the ability to be adjusted individually in the AMP ADJ menu even when they are grouped...just what functions are accessible will vary based on the group setup.

The complete list of what functions can be controlled together

(

Group Adj) or separately (Amp Adj) are described in the LINK

menu a little bit later in the manual.

The SXRC has 10 groups (

Group-01 through Group-10) for

you to use. Each of these groups is capable of having up to 16 amplifiers assigned to it. No more than 16 amps total can be controlled by the SXRC. So if you have 16 amplifiers connected to the SXRC and you assign all 16 to Group-01, you can not create any more groups.

Some examples of why you would want to use grouping are:

Example 1

You have multiple amplifiers driving your subwoofer(s) and want to control all of them at the same time. Change a setting and have it changed in all of the amplifiers simultaneously.

Example 2

You have multiple amplifiers driving the front stage of your system (Midbass, Midrange and Tweeter) and you want to control them as a group.

Example 3

You have a 5.1 channel setup using multiple amplifiers to drive your front, center, rear and subwoofer setup. You want to create amplifier groups to control each section. Two amplifiers on front, two on center, two on rear and 4 on subwoofer.

Example 4

Our manual writer just experienced a combination of brain freeze and writer’s block. Use your imagination and insert your own wild and crazy setup here for Example 4.

These are just a few of the many examples possible.

Here is a list of the menu items contained in the

GROUP AMPS menu.

SXRC Remote Control

Operation

LINK MENU - Here you can set the Link property of the

selected group to Link On or Link Off. By default all groups have the Link property set to Link Off.

The Link property sets a group to have certain characteristics depending on the setting (Link On or Link Off). By adjusting this one setting you completely change what settings and adjustments are shared between amplifiers in the group, what settings you can select to adjust in the AMP ADJ and GROUP ADJ menus and how certain settings act once they are selected. You have all ready seen an example of this in the GROUP ADJ menu when adjusting the Kompressor™.

Link Off - AMP ADJ

If you set the group’s Link property to Link Off each amplifier in

the group can have these items adjusted from the AMP ADJ

menu.

Link Off - GROUP ADJ

If you set the group’s Link property to Link Off each amplifier in

the group can have these items adjusted from the GROUP ADJ

menu.

Wow...things do change up quite a bit. But why? Glad you asked! The following two examples show why this happens and why the Link function exists...but we know there are many more.

Example 1

You have four SX.1 Series amplifiers driving four Solobaric L7 12 inchers. First off...you got game baby! Deep smooth bass for days...you could share some with the boys lounging around down at Local 317 and still have plenty! Ok...enough of that...here is one of the many reasons the Link function exists.

You would want to control all of these amplifiers together and share many settings between them the same since they are all on bass duty.

SXRC Remote Control

Operation

You would want to control some of the functions of these amplifiers together but many you do not. Each amplifier needs its own unique crossover point to handle its required duties so Link On would not work.

You would select a group and assign each of your SX.2 Series amplifiers to this group. For our example we will assume this group has been named FRONTSTAGE.

Next select the FRONTSTAGE group from the LINK menu and set its Link Property to Link Off.

Now you would use the AMP ADJ menu to adjust each amplifier’s gain range, gain, equalizer, low pass crossover, high pass crossover, Kompressor™, Kompressor™ Adjustment, etc. to fit its unique needs.

So why group them then? Because now you can use the GROUP ADJ menu to select FRONTSTAGE and be able to:

»Adjust the overall output gain of all three amps together.

»Turn their Kompressors™ on and off in unison.

»Mute the entire front stage for setup and testing.

»Use the pink noise generator on the entire front stage for

setup and testing.

These are just two real world examples of how powerful grouping amplifiers can be and the flexibility it gives you when used in conjunction with the Link property. Use your imagination to come up with what works for you.

You would select a group and assign each of your four SX.1 Series amplifiers to this group. For this example we will assume you also changed the name of the group to BIG BASS.

Next select the BIG BASS group from the LINK menu and set its Link Property to Link On.

Now you would be able to set the gain range, gain, equalizer, low pass crossover, high pass crossover, Kompressor™, Kompressor™ Adjustment, etc. for all four amplifiers at the same time using the BIG BASS group you created. Each amplifier would share these important settings and you don’t have to adjust four amplifiers, just adjust the BIG BASS group from the GROUP ADJ menu and that’s it.

The only options you would be able to adjust from the AMP ADJ menu would be each amplifiers individual gain setting and mute function.

The gain setting allows you to level match each amplifier in the group independently in case one channel or amp needs to be tweaked to match the rest.

The mute function is for muting individual channels or entire amplifiers for setup and testing purposes.

Example 2

You have three SX.2 Series amplifiers driving the front stage of your audio system. One on tweeter duty, another on midrange and the last one on midbass.

SXRC Remote Control

Operation

Once you select the LINK menu, a list of

all 10 groups controlled by the SXRC

will be displayed in a scrolling list. The

list will either display the names you

have created or the default names if you

have not re-named them.

Use the

You can now select another group to view or

adjust by using the

UP or DOWN keys

and select it by pushing the

ENT key.

Press the ESC key to return to the GROUP

AMPS menu and select another function.

REMOTE VOL MENU - Here you can choose to have the

selected group’s output level controlled by the Digital Remote Volume Control (DRVC).

If you wish to use the DRVC as a master volume control, raising and lowering the output level of all the amplifiers, select all the groups and set to them

REMOTE ON. By default, all groups are

set to

REMOTE OFF.

If you wish to use the DRVC as a bass level controller, raising and lowering the output level on subwoofer amplifiers only, set the REMOTE VOL to

REMOTE ON for the group(s) controlling your

subwoofer amplifiers and leave all other non-subwoofer groups set to

REMOTE OFF.

These are the two most common uses. You can configure whatever combination works for your particular installation.

Use the

UP or DOWN keys to scroll

through the list of groups and press the

ENT

key to select.

Use the

UP or DOWN keys to scroll

Operation

SAVE ALL MENU - Here you can download the current SXRC

settings for each amplifier into any one of the four SX Series amplifiers on-board memories. (

Mem-1 through Mem-4)

This is useful for several purposes.

1.) You could have a preferred setup programmed into the SXRC and then simply plug it into the system and download all the settings into the amplifiers. Then un-plug the SXRC and the settings are now loaded into one of the amplifier’s memory presets for use. Talk about a one-touch programming tool!

2.) You may want to disconnect your SXRC from the system and take it with you. By saving all the current settings in the SXRC to the amplifiers the system will operate without the SXRC but with the exact settings you were using.

3.) The 3-step-plan to sanity: Save, Save and Save. By saving your current settings from the SXRC into your amplifiers you have a backup of all your programming. If something should ever happen to your SXRC (Beverage spill, Sat on and crushed, girlfriend throws out the window at 60 MPH) you will have all your hard-earned system programming backed-up in your amplifiers. You could then follow the 3-step-plan to happiness: Remember, Remember, Remember. Simply plug in a new (or repaired) SXRC, perform an Autosearch, save the settings back into a global SXRC memory and your back in business.

Ain’t technology just swell!

Once you are in the SAVE ALL menu you need to decide if you want to download the current settings in the SXRC or any one of the four SXRC global memories. If you want to download the current settings in use, skip the steps marked with a

* Press any one of the four SXRC global

memory presets to load it into the SXRC.

* The display will show LOADING while

the global memory preset loads and then the display will show which preset is loaded and active.

Press the

ENT key to enter the SAVE ALL

memory location selection menu.

Use the

UP or DOWN keys to scroll

through the available memories (

mem-1

through mem-4). This will be the memory preset the SXRC uses on each amplifier to store your settings.

When you have the memory selected that you want to use simply press the

ENT key

to select it.

The settings will be saved to the SX Series amplifiers and the display will return to

SAVE ALL. You are now back in

If you select SAVE - NO then the all of the connected amplifier’s current settings are not stored into the SXRC. We recommend that you choose

SAVE - YES and save them.

If you select

SAVE - YES then you will

choose which global memory location to store all of the connected amplifier’s settings in by using the

UP or DOWN key to scroll

through the four memory locations. (

MEMORY-1 through MEMORY-4)

When the memory you want to use is selected press the

You are now back in the SXRC SETUP menu.

SW UPDATES MENU - This menu allows you to manually reload

an SX Series amplifier with its operating software which is stored in the SXRC. The only time you would use this manual programming option is if:

1.) The operating software on an amplifier has been damaged or lost during normal operation.

2.) During the software update portion of the AUTOSEARCH function you experience a catastrophic failure. (Examples - More than one amp sharing the same Remote Address, Powering down an amplifier during software update, Communications Network failure)

You will know this has happened if:

¾The ISIS display on the SX Series amplifier refuses to come back on. ¾The ISIS display on the SX Series amplifier is filled with garbage characters. ¾The SXRC ISIS display blinks

FAILED and then scrolls

MANUAL SW UPDATE REQUIRED.

NOTE:

This reload has to be performed with ONLY the amp you need to program plugged into the SXRC Interface Box. It is so important we will say it again...The ONLY amplifier plugged into the SXRC Interface Box is the one needing programmed. Please READ and FOLLOW the directions on how to perform this reload.

You will need to change some wiring on the Interface Box to perform this manual software upload.

The SXRC will have to be wired so it is on all the time. You do this by removing the remote turn-on wire from the Interface Box and using a short piece of wire to temporarily jumper the Remote Turn-On to the constant +12 volt.

The SX Series amplifier should have Power, Ground and Remote connected to it but be off at this point, no power on the Remote line. (System Off)

SXRC Remote Control

Specifications

Kompressor™

Powered by the on-board SX DAP (Digital Audio Processor), the Kompressor™ included in all SX Series amplifiers (and controlled by the SXRC) is a complete digital compressor solution used to compress or expand the audio signal in different ways based on the setting selected.

Using ‘real world’ testing in the automotive environment, KICKER engineers developed three compression/expansion settings for use in your SX Series amplifiers. Each setting controls 6 Kompressor™ parameters:

Compression Above Threshold - Controls how much expansion or compression is applied to the audio signal when its level is higher than the threshold.

Compression Below Threshold - Controls how much expansion or compression is applied to the audio signal when its level is lower than the threshold.

Threshold - This is the signal strength reference point that the Kompressor™ uses to determine when to compress or expand the signal.

Integration Time - Controls the energy detection part of the Kompressor™ circuitry and determines whether to look for peak output, averaged output or anything in between the two extremes.

Attack Time - Controls how quickly the Kompressor™ reacts to any signal above or below the threshold.

Release Time - Controls how quickly the Kompressor™ effect is released when any signal above or below the threshold is detected.

When you select one of the Kompressor™ presets (Contour, Red-Line or Attack) each of these 6 parameters is adjusted to provide the desired effect on the audio Signal.

Contour - This preset applies expansion below the threshold

point to provide a fuller sound at lower volume levels. Effect

decreases at higher volume levels. Nice effect for someone

wanting a fuller sound at low to moderate listening levels.

ATTACK - This preset applies expansion above the threshold

point to provide a nice quick punch or attack to the music.

Effect increases with higher volume levels. Like music with a

quick and punchy sound? Sub-bass need a little more snap to

it? Give this one a try.

Red-line - Provides a quick clamp to dynamic peaks while

still allowing a full sound to come through. Effect increases

at higher volume levels. Like to play it loud but want to

protect your speakers? Want low level details to come

through over road noise? Want a more even volume level to

your music? All can be achieved with this preset.

OFF - Pretty much says it all. This turns the Kompressor™

off. This is the factory default setting.

After selecting your Kompressor™ setting you can adjust the Threshold level through a 48 dB window (+24 dB to -24 dB from the default setting) by accessing the Kompressor™ Adjustment (KOMP ADJ.) setting located in the System menu. There you can change the threshold point to customize the Kompressor™ effect to fit your speakers, car or personal tastes.

A few words on the Kompressor™. The effect is most noticeable in the bass area of your music (Bass/Midbass). You can use the Kompressor™ in any amplifier configuration (Low Pass, High Pass, Band Pass or Full Range) but we feel the most dramatic results are obtained when the amp is in a Low Pass (subwoofer) or Band Pass (midbass) situation.

A few exceptions to this statement are:

The

red-line setting is good for use in any configuration

as it helps control dynamic peaks and limit distortion at

higher output levels. VERY effective at controlling speaker

damaging distortion caused by over-driving or clipping the

amplifier.

The

contour setting is also another good all around use

setting and when used in Full Range or High Pass

configurations tends to enhance the vocal and top end of

the music. Great for helping to cover up interior noise.

The

ATTACK setting is really geared for bass and midbass

duty but can be used in any setup.

Remember, these are just suggestions, play around with each Kompressor™ preset and the Threshold (KOMP ADJ) to find what works for you.

The possibilities are almost endless! Tweak away!

Service

With the screws removed, carefully lift the top cover off the SX Interface Box.

With the top removed you can now see the 3 amp fuse held in place by two fuse clips.

Examine the fuse visually and see if

it is blown and needs replaced.

If blown, then gently pry the fuse up and away from the fuse clips using a small screwdriver.

Press in the new fuse until it locks fully into place.

You can now re-assemble the Interface Box following the above instructions in reverse.

NOTE:

Just a reminder that you should be very careful with the top cover removed from the Interface Box as to not damage any of the components inside. NEVER use a fuse with a higher rating than 3 amps. DO NOT connect the power harness to the Interface Box until it is fully assembled.

Interface Box Fuse

The SXRC is protected by a fuse which is internally mounted in the Interface Box. If you ever need to replace this fuse an extra one has been supplied with your SXRC kit. If you lose this fuse or ever need another one, please replace with the the same size and style of fuse.

To replace the fuse, first disconnect the power harness from the SX Interface Box.

Next, remove the four screws holding the Interface Box to its mounting surface.

Now, remove the two screws on the side of the Interface Box which secure the top cover/mounting base to the bottom.

Troubleshooting

If your SXRC does not appear to be working, check obvious things first such as blown fuses, poor or incorrect wiring connections, cables and connectors not fully seated, etc.

There is a blue LED located on one end of the SXRC Interface Box. This LED indicates the SXRC is receiving power and is turned on.

 Blue LED off:

¬Verify the external fuse to the Interface Box is good.

¬Verify the power plug is fully seated in the Interface Box.

¬Verify the wiring is correct at the power plug.

¬With a Volt Ohm Meter’s (VOM) negative probe

attached to chassis ground check:

;+12 volt power terminal (should read +12V to +16V) ;Remote turn-on terminal (should read +12V to +16V) ;Ground terminal (should read 0V)

¬Verify the internal fuse in the Interface Box is good.

 Blue LED on, no display on SXRC Control Head:

¬Verify the cable from the Control Head is plugged securely

into the Interface Box.

¬If using an extension cable between the Interface Box and

the Control Head, Verify the connectors are plugged in securely

on both ends.

¬If using an extension cable between the Interface Box and

the Control Head, Verify the cable is a 6 conductor PS2 type

cable.

¬If using an extension cable between the Interface Box and

the Control Head, the cable or connectors on it may be bad, try

bypassing the extension cable and plugging the Control Head

directly into the Interface Box. If this works, then try a new

cable.

 Blue LED on, garbage characters in display:

¬Power cycle your system (turn off, wait 3 seconds, turn on). ¬Reset the SXRC form the SXRC SETUP menu. ¬Verify all cables are securely plugged into the Interface Box. ¬Verify all Network Cables are securely plugged in at the

Interface Box and SX Series amplifiers. ¬Verify all Network cables are good. If you made these cables check that they are properly wired and terminated.

 Blue LED on,

problem is before the DSP and amplifier or after.

9If you have pink noise from all your speakers then check

your :

Gain Range settings. Gain settings. Crossover settings. RCA cables and connections. Head unit fader, balance and volume controls.

9If you don’t have pink noise from all your speakers then

check your :

Speakers. Speaker cables and connections. Amplifier power and speaker connections.

 All of my amplifier’s volumes vary when I use the DRVC

(Remote Volume Control). I just want to control my bass!:

¬By default, all amplifiers connected to the SXRC are controlled by the DRVC. Turn the

KICKER drivers are capable of producing sound levels that can permanently damage your hearing! Turning up a system to a level that has audible distortion is more damaging to your ears than listening to an undistorted system at the same volume level. The threshold of pain is always an indicator that the sound level is too loud and may permanently damage your hearing.

Please use common sense when controlling volume!
