I doubt the front speakers are wired in parallel. Otherwise, a whole bunch of us would be having these issues. Is it all the speakers that are having problems? Also, 150hz bass blockers are way too low a value for those little dash speakers. Remember that they don't actually block bass at 150 hz and below. It's simply a capacitor that starts to filter low frequencies at around 150hz. Plus the slope isn't very steep (if you have the Crutchfield ones like I do, it's 8db/octave which means that bass is rolled off extremely gradual). I tried 300s and 600s and settled on 600s all the way around for the front/rear dashes. I put 150s on my door speakers and also set the high-pass crossover on the Kicker amp to 60hz. I rarely turn mine over 14-15 (gains at zero on amp, and it's EXTREMELY loud), but there's virtually no distortion. I currently have an underseat sub that handles the low end, and in the future I'm planning to add the JL stealthbox. Hope that helps!
Thanks for the pictures! I'm thinking of putting my kicker hideaway in the same spot using the same method. I have a four door, so running wire might be a tad more cumbersome, but just wanted to see how easy/hard this part was for you, and just the install in general? Thanks!I used the srews that came with the sub, and screwed it right to the plastic rear panel. I did put a layer of sound deadening material between the sub and panel.
The install was fairly easy. I bought the kicker hideaway and wiring harness from plug and play. Everything just plugged in, and I had to run a hot wire to the battery, and a ground wire to a ground screw behind rear panel.

I didn't have to tap into the speakers. The harness from plug and play does all this.Another question for you
Where did you tap into the speakers from for the install? Rear speakers or the front? Did you do any special settings (low pass/high pass crossovers) on the kicker key amp?

The way Ford works is even though both sets of front speakers are wired together it’s still at a 4 ohm load not 2 ohm
You hook the mic back up and hold the button for 10 seconds. It’ll make a tone and that let’s you know it’s been reset. Then you go through the dsp process again.
Is your first dip switch set correctly? It should be down for 12v power iirc. That might be killing the power to the amp and no sound.
