Introducción
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 ampsalvavidas.
Características principales
- 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.

Configuración e instalación
The KISLOC2 is designed for straightforward installation. Follow these steps carefully:
Diagrama de cableado
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.

Pasos de conexión
- Identificar los cables de los altavoces: 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 ampConfiguraciones de lificador.
- Conectar los cables de entrada:
- Conectar el Blanco wire to the Left (+) speaker wire.
- Conectar el Blanco/negro wire to the Left (-) speaker wire.
- Conectar el Gris wire to the Right (+) speaker wire.
- Conectar el Gris/negro wire to the Right (-) speaker wire.
- Conectar el Negro wire to a reliable chassis ground point in the vehicle.
- Conectar salidas RCA: Plug your RCA cables from the KISLOC2's RCA output jacks into the RCA input jacks of your aftermarket ampmás duradero.
- Conectar el encendido remoto: Conectar el 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.
- Asegure la unidad: Mount the KISLOC2 in a secure, dry location away from excessive heat or moisture. Ensure wires are not pinched or exposed to sharp edges.

Operación
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.
- Encendido: 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.
- Salida de audio: The converted line-level audio signal will be sent through the RCA outputs to your ampmás duradero.
- Apagado: 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 ampmás duradero.
Mantenimiento
The Kicker 46KISLOC2 is designed for maintenance-free operation. No user-serviceable parts are inside. To ensure longevity:
- Mantenga la unidad limpia y libre de polvo y escombros.
- Asegúrese de que todas las conexiones del cableado permanezcan seguras y libres de corrosión.
- Evite exponer la unidad a temperaturas extremas o a la luz solar directa.
Solución de problemas
If you experience issues with your KISLOC2, refer to the following common problems and solutions:
| Problema | Posible causa | Solución |
|---|---|---|
| Amplificador no se enciende. | 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 ampmás duradero. | Incorrect speaker wire input connections; faulty RCA cables; ampConfiguración del ificador incorrecta. | Double-check all input speaker wire connections (polarity). Test RCA cables. Verify amplifier input settings (e.g., input sensitivity, gain). |
| Audio distorsionado. | Señal de entrada demasiado alta; ampLa ganancia del amplificador está configurada demasiado alta. | Reduce the volume level of the factory radio. Adjust the gain settings on your aftermarket ampmás duradero. |
| Unit gets hot or smokes. | Sobrecarga o cortocircuito. | Immediately disconnect power. This indicates a serious issue. Do not re-connect power. Contact Kicker support or a qualified technician. |
