KEY Auto Setup
The KEY Activation Button is a multi-function button
attached to the included microphone that will begin
the Auto Setup process, toggle between Auto Setup
optimized audio and the original audio once the Auto
Setup process has been completed, or clear previous
Auto Setup settings.
The Auto Setup consists of several tune-up steps
including individual speaker equalization, KICKER
EQ, time delay and speaker sensitivity matching. If a
setting is defeated with the DIP switches on the KEY
panel, the settings will be registered in memory and
can be applied or cleared. Changing the DIP switch
positions does not require a new Auto Setup to be
run.
Make sure active noise cancellation and active
noise enhanced are disabled beforehand. You will
need to load a source for pink noise from your head
unit, whether CD, MP3, AUX, Bluetooth, USB etc.
Uncompressed audio is recommended for best
results, as this will ensure full amplitude across the
frequency spectrum (20Hz–20kHz). Visit www.

best suited for your listening habits!
1. Set the KEY amplifier gains (AMP-1 and AMP-
2) to the minimum (fully counter-clockwise). Place
all settings in the signal chain, such as the EQ on
your head unit, to disabled or flat. Disconnect any
speakers or subwoofers not connected to the KEY
amplifier, factory or aftermarket.
