Kicker 46KISLOC2 K-Series Stereo Line-Output Converter User Manual

Model: 46KISLOC2

Inleiding

This manual provides detailed instructions for the installation, operation, and maintenance of the Kicker 46KISLOC2 K-Series Stereo Line-Output Converter. Please read this manual thoroughly before installation and use to ensure proper functionality and safety.

The Kicker 46KISLOC2 is designed to integrate aftermarket amplifiers with factory car audio systems by converting speaker-level signals into high-quality RCA line-level signals. It also provides a remote turn-on output for amplewendes.

Sleutel kenmerke

  • Converts speaker-level signals to RCA line-level signals.
  • Provides a powerful 100 milli-amp, 12-volt remote turn-on output using DC offset, eliminating the need for a separate switched 12V source.
  • Accepts input signals up to 55 watts (16 volts).
  • Delivers an output signal up to 8 volts.
  • Maintains a flat 20Hz-20kHz frequency response at all volume levels.
  • Compatible with standard radios and most smart radios (amplifier output of smart radio must have 60Ω impedance or lower).
  • Features an LED indicator for DC offset turn-on.

Opstelling en installasie

The KISLOC2 is designed for straightforward installation. Follow these steps carefully:

Bedradingsdiagram

Refer to the diagram below for proper wiring connections. The KISLOC2 features input wires for speaker signals and output RCA jacks for line-level signals, plus a remote turn-on wire.

Verbindingstappe

  1. Identifiseer luidsprekerdrade: Locate the speaker wires from your factory radio or amplifier that you intend to use as input for the KISLOC2. Typically, these are the rear speaker wires for subwoofer applications or full-range speakers for multi-channel ampverligter opstellings.
  2. Verbind invoerdrade:
    • Koppel die Wit wire to the Left (+) speaker wire.
    • Koppel die Wit/Swart wire to the Left (-) speaker wire.
    • Koppel die Grys wire to the Right (+) speaker wire.
    • Koppel die Grys/swart wire to the Right (-) speaker wire.
    • Koppel die Swart wire to a reliable chassis ground point in the vehicle.
  3. Verbind RCA-uitsette: Plug your RCA cables from the KISLOC2's RCA output jacks into the RCA input jacks of your aftermarket amplewendiger.
  4. Koppel Afstandbeheer-aanskakelaar: Koppel die Blou wire from the KISLOC2 to the remote turn-on input of your aftermarket amplifier(s). This wire provides a 12V signal to turn on the amplifier when the factory radio is active.
  5. Beveilig die eenheid: Mount the KISLOC2 in a secure, dry location away from excessive heat or moisture. Ensure wires are not pinched or exposed to sharp edges.

Operasie

Once properly installed, the KISLOC2 operates automatically. It senses the audio signal from your factory radio and converts it to a line-level signal for your amplifier. The integrated DC offset detection activates the remote turn-on output.

  • Krag aan: When your factory radio is turned on, the KISLOC2 will detect the DC offset in the speaker signal and activate its remote turn-on output (blue wire), signaling your amplifier to turn on. A red LED on the unit will illuminate to indicate active DC offset turn-on.
  • Oudio-uitvoer: The converted line-level audio signal will be sent through the RCA outputs to your amplewendiger.
  • Skakel af: When the factory radio is turned off, the KISLOC2 will cease to detect the DC offset, and the remote turn-on output will deactivate, turning off your amplewendiger.

Onderhoud

The Kicker 46KISLOC2 is designed for maintenance-free operation. No user-serviceable parts are inside. To ensure longevity:

  • Hou die eenheid skoon en vry van stof en puin.
  • Maak seker dat alle bedradingsverbindings stewig en vry van korrosie bly.
  • Avoid exposing the unit to extreme temperatures or direct sunlight.

Probleemoplossing

If you experience issues with your KISLOC2, refer to the following common problems and solutions:

ProbleemMoontlike oorsaakOplossing
Ampverligter skakel nie aan nie.No signal from factory radio; faulty remote wire connection; factory radio not compatible with DC offset turn-on.Ensure factory radio is on and playing audio. Check blue remote wire connection. Verify factory radio's amplifier output impedance is 60Ω or lower. If not, a separate switched 12V source for the amplifier's remote input may be required.
Geen klankuitvoer vanaf amplewendiger.Incorrect speaker wire input connections; faulty RCA cables; ampverligterinstellings verkeerd.Double-check all input speaker wire connections (polarity). Test RCA cables. Verify amplifier input settings (e.g., input sensitivity, gain).
Verwronge klank.Invoersein te hoog; ampVersterkerwins te hoog gestel.Reduce the volume level of the factory radio. Adjust the gain settings on your aftermarket amplewendiger.
Unit gets hot or smokes.Oorlading of kortsluiting.Immediately disconnect power. This indicates a serious issue. Do not re-connect power. Contact Kicker support or a qualified technician.
