    VENTILATION. SUBWOOFERS SHOULD BE MOUNTED WITH AT LEAST 1 INCH (2.5CM) CLEARANCE BETWEEN THE FRONT OF THE SPEAKER AND ANY SURFACE. KICKER PRODUCTS ARE CAPABLE OF PRODUCING SOUND LEVELS THAT CAN PERMANENTLY DAMAGE YOUR HEARING! TURNING UP A SYSTEM TO A LEVEL THAT HAS AUDIBLE DISTORTION IS MORE DAMAGING TO YOUR EARS THAN LISTENING TO AN UNDISTORTED SYSTEM AT THE SAME VOLUME LEVEL.

    KEYLOC. Make sure there are no items behind the area where the screws will be driven. If possible, mount the KEYLOC behind the dash or in the climate- controlled passenger compartment. Drill four holes using a 7/64” (3mm) bit and use the supplied #8 screws to mount.

    If your head unit has a remote output you can connect this to the remote input of the KEYLOC. If your head unit does not have a remote output, the KEYLOC can use the DC offset that is present on the speaker outputs of most factory head units.

  • Page 9: Operation

    Operation The KEYLOC is a 2-channel DSP based active line output converter with the following features. Automatic Turn-on: DC offset remote input turn-on, and remote output turn-on (100mA) to turn on other products. Frequency Response Correction: Smooths frequency response of two channels from your source unit via EQ correction.

  • Page 10: Signal Identification

    The KEYLOC will help you identify the correct OEM wires to which you should connect using the following steps: 1. Turn the Input Gain on the KEYLOC all the way down. 2. Turn the audio source up to at least 1/2 volume.

    You will need to re-enter the KEY process to start again if you do this. Automatic Setup: 1. Verify the input gain of the KEYLOC is turned all the way down. Set the Source unit to 3⁄4 volume or right before it starts to clip.

  • Page 13 Navigating the Menu: After the Auto setup process has completed, you’ll be able to navigate the KEYLOC menu using the KEY button and LEDs. To enter the menu, press and hold the KEY button for 4 seconds. You will see the LEDS sweep 1-4 - release the KEY button.

  • Page 14: Line-Output Conversion

    Line-Output Conversion After Auto Setup is complete, use the Output Gain to match the output voltage of the KEYLOC to the input sensitivity voltage of your amplifier. If you’re not using gain match capable electronics or a voltmeter/ multimeter, listening for audible distortion is always the next best way to set your gain.

    2. If the issue persists, it is very likely that you are clipping the outputs of your audio source. Use the GAIN SWEEP track and an oscilloscope to verify that the signal coming into the KEYLOC is not clipping. If it is turn down the volume on the source unit.
