Isn't that the A/C system vent? It's a plastic tube wrapped in foam.What the heck is this big foam piece between the glove box and head unit ? I am assuming I need to remove it before feeding harness through ?? Unless I missed it , I didn’t see this in any of the install vids I have seen ….
... for it to come on?
I did the same but seems like I have to engage the DSP settings every time I turn the car back on. Other than that it sounds great with the Sub in the back
How did you set your amp up? Plug n play harness? I think I had the same issue and just fixed it today. I was relying on power from the head until only using the plug n play harness. When I ran power straight to the battery the clipping went away.
Interesting.
If using high level inputs try and toggle radio detect on or off to see if any difference.
I just cut the power wire on the plug n play harness right at the fuse. Took the fuse out, connected 12 gauge wire to the power cord coming from the harness, ran it though the fire wall and attached to the battery (I used an amp wiring kit from crutchfield) put the fuse in near the battery. I should have taken pictures. I want to play around with the gain so can take pictures when I do that.
I was thinking about doing this as well. Not having problems yet but figured power from the battery would prevent any issues. Good to know…
I was actually thinking about this the other day. Don't get me wrong, I love the OEM look and ease of using the harness (I've made harnesses and the minimum amount to spend to get the correct connectors / pins / wire / tape etc isn't cheap and it takes time / work to make 'em) but I wondered about powering the Key 200.4 off the factory ACM (audio control module) circuit. That circuit is 20A. I was thinking that in most cases that's plenty of power, but since I'm adding a Kicker Hideaway sub (which will have power running directly to the battery) I figured I might look at doing the same thing you did while I'm in there.
I was getting some bad clipping at pretty low volume. Some songs now will trigger the limiter even after running power to the battery, but that’s at like 24+ volume. Currently I replaced all the speakers with Kicker CS series and added the kicker key. Just ordered the hideaway 10in to top it all off. Hoping that will finally satisfy the itch.
I have one too-I'm going with they are the same-I can post it later today.
Yeah, I'm going to document where the limiter is hitting on mine now - using pink noise from Kicker - and go from there. Right now I'm waiting on the Kicker Hideaway sub and the add on harness from plugnplay.
I have it exclusively wired to the plugnplaykits harness, correct. What is the process like running it to the battery? What volume levels were you previously seeing clipping at?
