Kicker 46KISLOC2 2-Channel Stereo Line-Output Converter (with remote turn-on wire)

Are you ready to take your car audio experience to a whole new level? The Kicker 46KISLOC2 2-Channel Stereo Line-Output Converter, equipped with a remote turn-on wire, is here to make it happen. Let's explore the features and benefits of this innovative device, which seamlessly converts your factory speaker signals into RCA and provides a powerful 12-volt remote turn-on signal. Let's dive into how the 46KISLOC2 can transform your car audio setup.

Unveiling the Kicker 46KISLOC2 Line-Output Converter

The Kicker 46KISLOC2 is not your typical line-output converter (LOC). It stands out for several reasons:

Flat Frequency Response

Unlike traditional LOCs, the 46KISLOC2 is designed without inductors, ensuring a completely flat frequency response at all volume levels. This means you'll enjoy clear and consistent audio quality regardless of the volume setting.

Innovative Signal Conversion

Using only your factory speaker wires, the KISLOC2 automatically converts the speaker signal into two essential outputs:

• An RCA signal: This output allows you to connect your car stereo to external amplifiers or processors, optimizing sound quality.
• A powerful 12-volt, 100 milli-amp remote turn-on wire: This feature simplifies amplifier activation. The 12-volt remote wire provides ample power, eliminating the need to hunt for a switched 12-volt power source.

This combination of features makes the 46KISLOC2 incredibly versatile and powerful.

High Input Signal Handling

The 46KISLOC2 can accept up to 55 watts (16 volts) of input signal. This high input signal handling ensures that your amplifier or processor receives the necessary input for optimal performance.

Up to 8-Volt Output Signal

The 46KISLOC2 delivers an output signal of up to 8 volts RMS, ensuring that your external audio equipment receives strong, clean signals for impressive audio quality.

Seamless Integration with Standard and Smart Radios

The Kicker 46KISLOC2 is designed to work with a wide range of car radios, including both standard and smart radios. Here's how it makes integration effortless:

Broad Compatibility

The 46KISLOC2 is fully compatible with standard car radios as well as most smart radios. It's designed to work with radios featuring open-circuit protection, making it a versatile choice for various vehicle setups.

60? Impedance for Smart Radios

For modern smart radios with open-circuit protection, the 46KISLOC2 applies a 60? impedance to the speaker input lines. This impedance allows the factory radio to output audio without interruptions, ensuring a smooth and uninterrupted listening experience.

Effortless Amplifier Activation

One of the standout features of the 46KISLOC2 is its ability to provide a 12-volt DC remote output signal. This feature simplifies the process of activating your amplifiers or processors. Here's how it works:

Remote Output Signal

The 46KISLOC2 generates a 12-volt, 100 milli-amp remote output signal for your amplifiers or processors. This signal is derived from the converted input signals, eliminating the need for an external power source. It simplifies amplifier activation, making your car audio setup more user-friendly.

LED Indicator for DC Offset Turn-On

The 46KISLOC2 features an LED indicator that lights up when the DC offset is active. This indicator provides a visual cue, ensuring that you can easily identify when the remote turn-on signal is active and ready for amplifier activation.

Effortless Installation and Connection

Installing the Kicker 46KISLOC2 is a straightforward process:

Speaker-Level Input Wiring

The 46KISLOC2 comes with attached 4-inch speaker-level input wires. These wires connect to the left and right speaker output wires of your car stereo. The input wires are color-coded for easy identification, simplifying the installation process.

• White: L+
• White/Black: L-
• Grey: R+
• Grey/Black: R-
• Black: Input ground
• Blue: Remote turn-on output

RCA Audio Outputs

The 46KISLOC2 provides two female RCA output jacks:

• Red RCA: Right audio output
• White RCA: Left audio output

These jacks allow you to run the low-level output signal to the input of your amplifier or processor, ensuring a clean and high-quality audio signal path. Note: A wire legend is provided on the back of the converter to guide you through the connection process. The wire colors on the 46KISLOC2 may differ from those found on your car stereo.

Conclusion: Elevate Your Car Audio Experience

In conclusion, the Kicker 46KISLOC2 2-Channel Stereo Line-Output Converter with a remote turn-on wire is a game-changer for car audio enthusiasts. It offers a unique combination of features, including flat frequency response, high input signal handling, and effortless amplifier activation. Whether you have a standard car radio or a modern smart radio, the 46KISLOC2 is designed to deliver consistent and high-quality audio performance. Upgrade your car audio system with the 46KISLOC2 and enjoy the full potential of your audio equipment. Say goodbye to audio limitations and experience music the way it's meant to be heard.
