INSTALLATION
Mounting: Choose a structurally sound location to mount your KICKER amplifi er. Make sure there are no items
behind the area where the screws will be driven. Choose a location that allows at least 4” (10cm) of open
ventilation for the amplifi er. If possible, mount the amplifi er in the climate-controlled passenger compartment. Drill
four holes using a 7/64” (3mm) bit and use the supplied #8 screws to mount the amplifi er.

four holes using a 7/64” (3mm) bit and use the supplied #8 screws to mount the amplifi er.
Wiring: Disconnect the vehicle’s battery to avoid an electrical short. Then, connect the ground wire to the
amplifi er. Make the ground wire short, 24” (60cm) or less, and connect it to a paint-and-corrosion-free, solid,
metal area of the vehicle’s chassis. Adding an additional ground wire of this same gauge (or larger) between the
battery’s negative post and the vehicle chassis is recommended.

The DXA amplifi er has dual input sensitivity differential RCA inputs which will receive either high or low level
signals from your car stereo’s source unit. A high-level signal can be run from the source unit’s speaker outputs
to the stereo RCA input on the end panel of the amplifi er using the KICKER KISL as shown (make sure you set
the DXA amplifi er’s input level switch to “HI”). Alternatively, the signal can be delivered to the amplifi er using the
low-level RCA outputs on the source unit. Set the input level switch on the end panel of the amplifi er to “LO”.
Either input method will provide a low-level output signal at the RCA output, which effectively passes the audio
signal to another amplifi er or component. Keep the audio signal cable away from factory wiring harnesses and
other power wiring. If you need to cross this wiring, cross it at a 90 degree angle.
