Introdução
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 amplificadores.
Principais características
- 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.

Configuração e instalação
The KISLOC2 is designed for straightforward installation. Follow these steps carefully:
Diagrama de fiação
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.

Etapas de conexão
- 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 ampconfigurações do lificador.
- Conecte os fios de entrada:
- Conecte o Branco wire to the Left (+) speaker wire.
- Conecte o Branco/Preto wire to the Left (-) speaker wire.
- Conecte o Cinza wire to the Right (+) speaker wire.
- Conecte o Cinza/Preto wire to the Right (-) speaker wire.
- Conecte o Preto wire to a reliable chassis ground point in the vehicle.
- Conecte as saídas RCA: Plug your RCA cables from the KISLOC2's RCA output jacks into the RCA input jacks of your aftermarket ampmais vivo.
- Conectar ativação remota: Conecte o Azul 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.
- Proteja a unidade: Mount the KISLOC2 in a secure, dry location away from excessive heat or moisture. Ensure wires are not pinched or exposed to sharp edges.

Operação
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.
- Ligar: 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.
- Saída de áudio: The converted line-level audio signal will be sent through the RCA outputs to your ampmais vivo.
- Desligar: 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 ampmais vivo.
Manutenção
The Kicker 46KISLOC2 is designed for maintenance-free operation. No user-serviceable parts are inside. To ensure longevity:
- Mantenha a unidade limpa e livre de poeira e detritos.
- Certifique-se de que todas as conexões de fiação permaneçam seguras e livres de corrosão.
- Avoid exposing the unit to extreme temperatures or direct sunlight.
Solução de problemas
If you experience issues with your KISLOC2, refer to the following common problems and solutions:
| Problema | Possível causa | Solução |
|---|---|---|
| Amplifier não liga. | 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. |
| Sem saída de áudio de ampmais vivo. | Incorrect speaker wire input connections; faulty RCA cables; ampConfigurações do amplificador incorretas. | Double-check all input speaker wire connections (polarity). Test RCA cables. Verify amplifier input settings (e.g., input sensitivity, gain). |
| Áudio distorcido. | Sinal de entrada muito alto; ampO ganho do amplificador está muito alto. | Reduce the volume level of the factory radio. Adjust the gain settings on your aftermarket ampmais vivo. |
| Unit gets hot or smokes. | Sobrecarga ou curto-circuito. | Immediately disconnect power. This indicates a serious issue. Do not re-connect power. Contact Kicker support or a qualified technician. |
