Key Awọn ẹya ara ẹrọ
- 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.

- 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 amplifier setups.
- Connect Input Wires:
- Sopọ awọn Funfun wire to the Left (+) speaker wire.
- Sopọ awọn Funfun/dudu wire to the Left (-) speaker wire.
- Sopọ awọn Grẹy wire to the Right (+) speaker wire.
- Sopọ awọn Grẹy/dudu wire to the Right (-) speaker wire.
- Sopọ awọn Dudu 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 amplifier.
- Connect Remote Turn-On: Sopọ awọn Buluu 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.
- Ṣe aabo Ẹka naa: Mount the KISLOC2 in a secure, dry location away from excessive heat or moisture. Ensure wires are not pinched or exposed to sharp edges.

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.
- Agbara Tan: 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.
- Ijade ohun: The converted line-level audio signal will be sent through the RCA outputs to your amplifier.
- Agbara Pa: 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 amplifier.

If you experience issues with your KISLOC2, refer to the following common problems and solutions:
| Isoro | Owun to le Fa | Ojutu |
|---|---|---|
| Amplifier ko ni tan. | 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. |
| Ko si ifihan ohun lati amplifier. | Incorrect speaker wire input connections; faulty RCA cables; amplifier settings incorrect. | Double-check all input speaker wire connections (polarity). Test RCA cables. Verify amplifier input settings (e.g., input sensitivity, gain). |
| Ohun ti o daru. | Ifihan titẹ sii ga ju; amplifier ere ṣeto ga ju. | Reduce the volume level of the factory radio. Adjust the gain settings on your aftermarket amplifier. |
| Unit gets hot or smokes. | Apọju tabi kukuru Circuit. | Immediately disconnect power. This indicates a serious issue. Do not re-connect power. Contact Kicker support or a qualified technician. |
