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

Step 13.) The SXRC is now:

A.) Searching for the first amplifier

connected to the Communications Network.

B.) Detecting the amplifier’s

software boot loader.

C.) Erasing the old software.

D.) Loading the new software into

the amplifier.

E.) Checking the software in the

amplifier to insure it has been loaded correctly.

F.) Confirming the software update

is successful.

G.) Loading the amplifier into the

SXRC.

H.) Displaying how many amplifiers

have been detected (1 at this point), successfully updated and brought into the SXRC Communications Network.

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.

SXRC Remote Control

Installation

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.
