If your source unit uses HI-Level outputs, use the KICKER KISL to easily attach RCA plugs to your bare wires. Consult a mobile
electronics specialist if you are unsure. See the following diagram for reference.

IQRC Installation
With the IQRC, you have the ability to control the gain, bass boost, center frequency, and bandwidth levels remotely for up to two matched amplifi ers. Push the control knob to select the feature, then rotate to increase or decrease the values. To surface-mount the IQRC remote bass level control, screw the remote to the chosen location, then run the cable from the controller to the “IQRC” jack on the amplifi er panel. Do NOT connect/disconnect while the amplifi er is on. AMP 1 must be connected before AMP 2 will be made active.

The IQ-Series is unlike any amplifi er on the market today. It is fully functional using the analog end panel controls, but unlocks its full potential when the DSP (Digital Signal Processor) is taken advantage of. We recommend familiarizing yourself with the following controls.
AUTO TURN-ON: Set the switch to +12V to use the remote turn-on lead from your source unit. Run 18 gauge wire from the Remote Turn-On Lead on your source unit to the terminal labeled REM between the amplifi er’s positive and negative power terminals. The DC Offset mode detects a 6V DC offset from the HI-Level speaker outputs when the source unit has been turned on. The Audio setting detects the incoming audio signal from your source unit and automatically turns on the amp. Using either the DC Offset or Audio mode causes the REM terminal to have a +12V out for turning on additional amplifi ers.

INPUT LEVEL: The RCA inputs on KICKER IQ amplifi ers are capable of receiving either Hi or Low-level signals from a source unit.
GAIN: 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. Next, slowly turn the gain up until you can hear audible distortion, then turn it down a little.
X-OVER: Use the XOVER switch(es) on the end panel of the amplifi er to set the internal crossovers to OFF, HI, or LO. When the switch is set to OFF, a full bandwidth signal will be amplifi ed. Set the switch to HI if you want the amplifi er’s internal crossover to serve
as a high-pass fi lter. Set the switch to LO if you want the amplifi er’s internal crossover to serve as a low-pass fi lter.
FADER: Turn on the FADER switch if you are running two sets of inputs to the amplifi er. Leave the fader switch OFF if you want to drive all channels from a single stereo input.
KICK EQ: Adjust the bass boost from 0–18dB, centered at 40Hz.
PANEL LOCK: When active (LED ON) the amplifi er is using the settings from the Tweeq software. When it is not active (LED OFF) the amplifi er is using the end panel controls.
GUI: Connect to your computer or tablet and run the KICKER TWEEQ software for real-time control of your amp’s DSP.

Software Setup (Windows)
KICKER TWEEQ may be compatible with the Mac OS through Boot Camp, but is not supported.
TWEEQ is a new DSP software confi guration tool for the IQ-series of amps. Because the smartest amp demands the smartest application, we’ve developed TWEEQ in-house with our customer’s needs at the forefront of the creation process. The IQ amplifi ers are fully-functional without TWEEQ, but to get the most out of your new KICKER amp, use it
on your computer, or your tablet or phone using the IQI Bluetooth accessory, and hear the difference!
Installation
Visit www.kicker.com/tweeq and click the DOWNLOAD button. Open the installation fi le and follow the instructions to complete the installation.
Setup
Power on and connect your IQ amplifi er to your computer via mini-USB connection. Run Tweeq. exe and wait for the software to scan for any connected amplifi ers. You will be prompted to begin the confi guration wizard.

TWEEQ will scan and identify all connected amplifi ers. KICKER has support for multi-amp installations using the IQI accessory. You may also use a USB hub to connect multiple amps, however technical support is not available for this setup.
Choose to bridge the channels if both channels are used to drive a common load.
Turn the FADER ON if you are running two sets of inputs to the amplifi er. Turn the FADER OFF if you want to drive all channels from a single stereo input.
For example, turn the FADER ON if you are only using AMP 1 as your input source. Select the input source for the subwoofer signal, if applicable.

Select the type of driver used by each channel. This will assist the TWEEQ software in automatically confi guring your crossover. See Page 13 for reference chart.
Select the speaker-size for each channel. This further assists the software in confi guring your crossover. If you have a 2 or 4-channel amp and selected to use a Full-Range signal in the previous window you will not see this dialog box.
Set the distance of each speaker from the primary listening position. This will automatically confi gure the correct time-delay for each speaker to present the best sound-stage. The Reference Speaker setting should be set if there is a speaker in use that is not connected to your currently chosen amp, and is also the farthest from the listening position.

Congratulations! Your IQ Amplifi er has been automatically confi gured using the TWEEQ Wizard. You may save this preset by selecting File>Save at the top
left of the application. It is recommended that you save this initial confi guration for restoration and A/B listening purposes.
You may continue to fi ne-tune the DSP for your specifi c application(s), including adjusting Time-Delay and Crossover settings. For complete instructions on the KICKER TWEEQ application, download the full manual from www.kicker.com/ support.
