Introducció
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 ampaixecadors.
Característiques clau
- 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.

Configuració i instal·lació
The KISLOC2 is designed for straightforward installation. Follow these steps carefully:
Esquema de cablejat
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.

Passos de connexió
- Identify Speaker Wires: 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 ampconfiguracions de lifier.
- Connect Input Wires:
- Connecteu el Blanc wire to the Left (+) speaker wire.
- Connecteu el Blanc/Negre wire to the Left (-) speaker wire.
- Connecteu el Gris wire to the Right (+) speaker wire.
- Connecteu el Gris/negre wire to the Right (-) speaker wire.
- Connecteu el Negre wire to a reliable chassis ground point in the vehicle.
- Connect RCA Outputs: Plug your RCA cables from the KISLOC2's RCA output jacks into the RCA input jacks of your aftermarket ampmés viu.
- Connect Remote Turn-On: Connecteu el Blau 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.
- Assegurar la unitat: Mount the KISLOC2 in a secure, dry location away from excessive heat or moisture. Ensure wires are not pinched or exposed to sharp edges.

Funcionament
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.
- Encès: 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.
- Sortida d'àudio: The converted line-level audio signal will be sent through the RCA outputs to your ampmés viu.
- Apagar: 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 ampmés viu.
Manteniment
The Kicker 46KISLOC2 is designed for maintenance-free operation. No user-serviceable parts are inside. To ensure longevity:
- Mantingueu la unitat neta i lliure de pols i residus.
- Assegureu-vos que totes les connexions del cablejat estiguin ben fixades i lliures de corrosió.
- Eviteu exposar la unitat a temperatures extremes o a la llum solar directa.
Resolució de problemes
If you experience issues with your KISLOC2, refer to the following common problems and solutions:
| Problema | Causa possible | Solució |
|---|---|---|
| Ampel lifier no s'encén. | 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. |
| No audio output from ampmés viu. | Incorrect speaker wire input connections; faulty RCA cables; ampconfiguració del lifiger incorrecta. | Double-check all input speaker wire connections (polarity). Test RCA cables. Verify amplifier input settings (e.g., input sensitivity, gain). |
| Àudio distorsionat. | Senyal d'entrada massa alt; ampEl guany del lificador està massa alt. | Reduce the volume level of the factory radio. Adjust the gain settings on your aftermarket ampmés viu. |
| Unit gets hot or smokes. | Sobrecàrrega o curtcircuit. | Immediately disconnect power. This indicates a serious issue. Do not re-connect power. Contact Kicker support or a qualified technician. |
