Kicker Popular Questions, Answers, Tips & Manuals

Chek the power supply section. It seems power is available up to LED portion and further it is open circuit. Possible there is a power regulator after LED Portion that is not working.

To properly wire your 2-ohm Kicker CompVT subs in a way that maintains a 2-ohm load for your Impulse 1252xi amplifier, you can use the following wiring configurations: Assuming each Kicker CompVT subwoofer has a 2-ohm impedance:

Wiring Configuration 1: Series-Parallel Wiring for 2-Ohm Load

1. Connect the positive terminal of the first subwoofer to the positive terminal of the second subwoofer.
2. Connect the negative terminal of the first subwoofer to the negative terminal of the second subwoofer.
3. Connect the positive terminal of one of the subs to the positive terminal on the amplifier.
4. Connect the negative terminal of the other sub to the negative terminal on the amplifier.

This configuration results in a 2-ohm load. It combines the two 2-ohm subs in series (4 ohms) and then connects them in parallel, resulting in a final 2-ohm load.

Wiring Configuration 2: Parallel Wiring for 1-Ohm Load

1. Connect the positive terminal of each subwoofer to the positive terminal on the amplifier.
2. Connect the negative terminal of each subwoofer to the negative terminal on the amplifier.

This configuration results in a 1-ohm load. It directly connects each 2-ohm subwoofer in parallel.

Choosing the Best Configuration:

The Impulse 1252xi amplifier is likely designed to handle a 2-ohm load without any issues. However, it's essential to check the amplifier's specifications to ensure compatibility with a 2-ohm load. Choosing between the two configurations depends on the capability of your amplifier. If your amplifier is stable at 1-ohm, you might opt for the second configuration to maximize power. If it's not stable at 1-ohm, go with the first configuration to maintain a 2-ohm load. Always refer to the amplifier's manual or specifications to confirm its minimum stable impedance and adjust your wiring accordingly. Incorrect impedance matching can result in damage to your amplifier or subwoofers. If you're unsure, consult with a professional car audio installer for personalized advice.

Power up the ampwith no speaker connected. If it goes into protect mode, the amp has been damaged. If it is OK, check your user manual for wiring instructions, loading etc. Do not allow the speaker wires to touch the car chassis/metalwork!

When an amplifier like the Kicker IQ 1000.5 goes into protect mode due to overvoltage, it is a safety feature to prevent damage to the amplifier or connected speakers. Here are some steps you can take to troubleshoot the issue:

1. Check the power source: Make sure the amplifier is getting the correct voltage from the power source. The Kicker IQ 1000.5 amplifier requires a 12-volt power supply with a recommended amperage of 80A.
2. Check the wiring: Check the wiring between the amplifier and the power source, as well as the wiring to the speakers. Make sure there are no loose connections or damaged wires.
3. Check the amplifier settings: Make sure the amplifier settings are correctly configured, including gain, crossover, and subsonic filter. Ensure that the amplifier is not being overdriven by the source unit.
4. Let the amplifier cool down: Turn off the amplifier and allow it to cool down if it has been running for an extended period.

If none of these steps resolve the issue, it is best to consult a professional installer or contact Kicker technical support for further assistance.

It sounds like you are having an issue with your Kicker HS10 subwoofer. The red protection light being constantly on could indicate that there is a problem with the subwoofer that is causing it to enter protection mode. Here are a few things you can try to troubleshoot the issue:

1. Check all of the connections to ensure that they are secure and properly connected. Make sure that the power and ground wires are properly connected to the battery and chassis, and that the RCA cables are securely connected to the amplifier and the subwoofer.
2. Check the amplifier settings to make sure that they are correct for the subwoofer. The amplifier should be set to "low pass" and the crossover frequency should be set to a frequency that is higher than the subwoofer's rated frequency range.
3. Check the subwoofer itself for any visible damage or loose wires. If the subwoofer has been damaged or if there are loose wires, it may not be functioning properly.
4. Make sure that the subwoofer is not being overdriven. If the amplifier is producing too much power for the subwoofer to handle, it can cause the subwoofer to enter protection mode.

I hope these suggestions help you get your Kicker HS10 subwoofer working properly. If you are still having issues after trying these steps, it may be necessary to contact Kicker for further assistance.

possible reasons: 1) shorted speaker connections 2) open circuit connection 3) overload protector of amp has switched on due to overheating.

Send it back to maker for repair.

Hi, Please check that you've swapped out any associated batteries of your amplifier. And also, please double check that you're using compatible fuses as some manufacturers build their machine to only work with their own products like fuses. If all of these things fail, you might need to reach out to the manufacturer of the product if you don't have access to the manual for troubleshooting. Thank you.

There's not a "best" setting to use - the settings you use are based on your installation, system configuration, and listening preferences. That being said, with cheaper amplifiers like this, there are some basics that I can give you. Crossover Your crossover prevents frequencies your subs can't effectively reproduce from being passed through to the drivers. There's two basic ways to implement a crossover in a car audio system. You MUST use one of them.

1. Most headunits have a built-in digital (active) crossover that can be set inside the radio's settings. This type is preferable due to the better waveform characteristics that ultimately get sent to the drivers after being amplified. If you don't have or don't want to use this method than use option 2.
2. There will be a passive crossover dial/knob (or on very cheap amps it may simply be a switch) on your amp that can be used to set the crossover frequency.

What frequency you use is somewhat subjective, but a safe bet for subs is to keep it under 100hz. The larger the speaker, the lower the frequency. (100Hz should work well for your 10's) Gain

• Set your gain no higher than 80%
• To find the safe threshold, play music with some heavier bass and increase your radio volume until you begin to hear distortion in your mid/high range. Back the volume down until the distortion resolves.
• On your sub's amplifier, with everything hooked up, gradually increase the gain until you start to hear distortion/clipping from the subs. Back the gain down until it resolves

Other/Misc.

• Do NOT use "bass boost" or "loudness" settings that many cheap amps come equipped with. These artificially bump-up the output of your system and almost always produce "dirty", distorted, and damaging waveforms that will drastically reduce the quality of sound and the life-span of your speakers. If you find yourself needing to use them to get the effect/volume you want, you either have your settings incorrect, or (more likely) need to simply invest in higher-power/quality hardware.

Yes but you will need to put them in a wooden box

the green light tells you that you are powered on. The red light tells you that there is a fault/short. has the fuse on the amp blown?

From the information I could find on that amplifier, it is stable at one ohm and provides 700 W RMS at that resistance. With two four ohm dvc subs you can wire them parallel/parallel for a final load of one ohm.

" this amp "? The one that only you can see? :>D

it appears that the left channel is defective, repair or replace

Your Kicker has gone into protect mode and will stay that way until the component level problem is found and fixed.

limited information generic answer -notify kicker customer assistance and will need to let them know what vehicle

If you connected speakers in parallel then two speakers have combined resistance of 2 ohms. You need to connect speakers in series

Hi Hector, if all the wiring is connected properly, you then mite have a problem on the circuit board, or with the subwoofer itself. While its switched off try moving the switches one or two times just in case there is a dry contact. Next would be to take in the unit for an independant bench test before opening the unit. Cheers.
