Menu System
The menu system layout is as follows:
DEFAULT - This menu is displayed when your amp is
operating and no adjustments are being made to your ampli-
fier. This information scrolls through the display one after the
other and then repeats.
1.) KICKER - Hey, we needed a brand plug for us since this
amp is sooooo cool!
2.) XX.X Volts - Displays the current voltage at the
amplifier’s + 12 volt battery input terminal.
3.) XX.X DEG f or xx.x DEG c - Displays the current
temperature of the amplifier in celsius or fahrenheit.
4.) amp name - Model name of the amplifier or the name
you have changed it to.
5.) memory name - Current memory preset in use (if
any) or the name you have changed it to.
If you want to freeze the scrolling
display simply press the HOME key
and the scrolling will stop.
Now you can manually select the item
you wish to have displayed by using the
UP or DOWN keys.
If you want the display to continue scrolling simply press
the HOME key again.
MAIN - This menu is the first menu accessed from the
DEFAULT menu and is the gateway to all the settings and
information on your SX series amplifier.
To enter the MAIN menu simply press
the ENT key while in the DEFAULT
menu.
The available selections in the MAIN menu are:

Continuing our example, we are now in the HISTORY item in
the SICK BAY MENU. If we press the
ESC key we would go
back up to the SICK BAY MENU. If we
press the
ESC key again we would go
to the SYSTEM MENU. One more press
of the
ESC key and we are in the
MAIN MENU.
Let’s start at the HISTORY item in the SICK BAY MENU again
but instead press and hold the HOME key for 1.5
seconds. Doing this will take us all the way back to the MAIN
MENU in one key press. Pressing and
holding the
HOME key will return you
all the way back to the MENU ITEM you
started with in the MAIN MENU, no mat-
ter how deep in the menu level struc-
ture you are. Pretty cool!
This is a very quick way to return to the MAIN MENU after
drilling down several menu layers to view or change an item.
When adjusting any amplifier control the UP and DOWN
arrow keys have 2 speeds, normal and accelerated.
Pressing and releasing the key
repeatedly will scroll through the menu
items at normal speed.
Pressing the key and holding it in for
longer than 1.5 seconds will activate the
accelerated scrolling mode and scroll
through the menu items at a much
faster rate. Releasing the key will return
it to normal speed mode.
Don’t try to scroll through every 1/12 octave step without
it!
