Kicker Key Question

[FDHog]

Just ordered the Kicker Key Plug n Play. I basically have it all down, but how do you set the gain controls, and do you set them after the auto tune?

how do you set gain?

There are two dials in the back of the kicker to do this.

Not being sarcastic, but that's obvious. What I want to know is what do you use for the sound to set the gain. Just any music?

Nevermind. Found the tuning sweep wave on Kicker site.

Here's 55 plus pages on how to set it up. The search is your friend.

Read through that. Didn't see anything on setting gain.

Some folks use a digital multimeter and some equations to determine the voltage and adjust to get that value. That'd get you in the ballpark but there still may be clipping. A multimeter is affordable and handy to have around so that'd be worthwhile. A more precise method of setting gain would be with an oscilloscope. There are plenty of videos on YouTube that do a much better job of demonstrating the process. It makes more sense when you see it being done.

Kicker Key Manual explains setting the gain.
After auto tune.
Turn gain until it clips (led lights up) the turn down slightly.
