Kicker 2003 KX3 Owner's Manual

With the LO-Pass Frequency set to match the HI-Pass or set for best sound
quality it is time to adjust the output level. Turn the SUB Output level up until it
matches the output of the mid/high amplifiers or until you hear distortion. If
you begin to hear distortion, turn it down to the point where it sounds undis-
torted. Depending on the type of subwoofer used, you may want to turn up the
Bass Boost Control. This feature can make a subwoofer put out more energy at
very low frequencies. Be cautious with this control because with a lot of boost at
low frequencies, the power handling of the sub will be decreased.
Remember:
When the Remote Bass Level Control is plugged in to the KX3 the SUB Output
Level Control on the crossover will not affect the output, only the Remote Bass
Level Control will.
Plug the Remote Level Control cable back into the KX3.
