At Crutchfield, you'll get detailed, accurate information that's hard to find elsewhere.
That's because we have our own in-house Product Research team — they open the box,
verify contents, check the owner's manual, and record dimensions, features and specs.
We stay on top of new products and technologies to help people make informed choices.

Features
EndKaps: The Kicker KX350.2 amplifier features
two removable, cast aluminum EndKaps that are mounted to each end of the
amplifier. These EndKaps protect and hide all of the wiring connections to the
amplifier, and must be removed before the amp is mounted. The EndKaps can be prepped and painted any custom color you choose.
They are mounted to the amp with 4 Allen-head screws (3mm Allen wrench
supplied).
Kicker "Living Loud"
Certified Power Certificate: The
amplifier comes with a certificate that informs you of the total maximum wattage
of the particular amplifier, along with the model number, serial number, tested
date, and whether the amplifier passed the total harmonic distortion,
signal-to-noise ratio, and protection circuit tests. For example, the actual
amplifier reviewed by Crutchfield was certified at 375 watts total maximum power
output, although it is rated at 350 total watts (at 2 ohms in stereo).
Top-mounted Controls: The
KX350.2 features three rotary controls on the top panel: input gain control,
bass boost control and crossover frequency control. These controls can be easily
accessed, even with the EndKaps installed.
Variable Active Crossover: With
the
amp's built-in crossover, you can switch between high-pass operation for filtering
out bass information to your speakers, low-pass for subwoofers, or off for full
range operation. The cutoff frequency is continuously variable from 50 to 200Hz
with a 12dB/octave slope.
SORT (Short circuit, Over-voltage,
Reverse polarity, Thermal)
Protection Circuitry: The SORT protection circuitry guards against
accidents and undesired operation. If the red Protection LED illuminates, SORT
has been engaged and the amplifier is in protect mode until the problem is
resolved.
KickBass Bass Boost: The
KickBass bass boost circuit provides up to 18dB signal boost at 40Hz.
SAMS (Stereo And Mono
Simultaneously): With a
Tri-mode adapter (item # 127TM100), this amplifier can run satellite speakers in
stereo and a mono subwoofer simultaneously.
Remote Bass Level Control:
The dash-mounted remote unit allows you to adjust the output level of the
amplifier. This can only be used when the amplifier's crossover switch is set to
Lo-Pass. The remote control has the following dimensions: 2.2" W x 1.788"
D (2.193" including the knob) x 1.186" H.
Inputs
and Outputs Notes
Gold-plated Connectors:
The KX350.2 uses custom-tooled, gold-plated connectors to assure maximum
power transfer and damping. The power, ground, remote, and speaker connections
feature set-screw terminals. A 3mm Allen wrench is supplied to loosen or tighten
the Allen-head set screws. The RCA line inputs and outputs are also gold plated.
Speaker-level
Inputs: High-level input connections
are included to allow use with sources that do not have RCA preamp level
outputs. A 12" speaker-level input harness with a 4-pin Molex plug on
one end is provided.
PAST RCA Line
Outputs: The line outputs, called PAST outputs (Pre Amp Signal
Transfer), allow you to pass an unfiltered preamp-level
signal from this amplifier to another amplifier. This eliminates the need to use
RCA splitter cords to distribute signals to two amplifiers. Note:
Regardless of whether you use the RCA inputs or the speaker-level inputs on this
amplifier, you will still be able to use the RCA outputs.

Wiring
Recommendation
Amplifier Wiring: This
amplifier uses two 25-amp fuses, so its total fuse rating is 50 amps. The
Streetwires 8-gauge amp wiring kits (item #s 211PS8B, 211PS8R, 211PS8BI,
211PS8RI) include a 60-amp fuse, which will accommodate the amp's fuse rating. Some 4-gauge wiring kits also include 60-amp fuses (Scosche--142AKPA14, Rockford Fosgate--575CP4CKDS).
Other 8-gauge amp wiring kits carried by Crutchfield include a 40-amp fuse. If
you are using an 8-gauge amp wiring kit with a fuse rated less than 50 amps, the
fuse should be replaced with a 50-amp AGU fuse (item #s 211AGU50, 142P50F4I).
