Correct. I unplugged the kick panel speakers, put some foam wrap around the connector, then tucked it out of the way, so it doesn’t make noise. That leaves the dash speakers connected to amp one alone. Absolutely no changes to the stock wiring. The only thing getting altered is the wiring...
Post number 64 has an Image with The polarity of the wires. It shows where they plug into the amp so you can identify yours. Use that to figure out how your harness is wired and then just map it. Write it on a piece of paper so you know which one is positive and which pairs are left and right...
You will need to change your harness. I detailed it a few posts back. You want the head unit power for the rears bypassing the Kicker entirely. They should remain stock power for just rear fill. You will rewire the amp 2 out puts to just the 6.5 kick panel speakers. The dash will just run...
Haven’t done that yet on the dash! Thanks, it’s a very inexpensive upgrade that helps lots at the kicks. I did use plenty of sound deadening material inside of the cavity behind the 4 inch dash speaker. There’s not a lot to work with in that space so.
I purchased my speakers from Crutchfield so they included spade connectors for the 4”. The 6.5 have spring connectors so wire goes straight into them.
The metro adapters are actually what go between the speaker and the kick panel metal. The OEM speaker frame runs the wire right through the...
Sure. This is covered in the forum pretty much any time the topic of the kick panels comes up so that was my starting point. I used the advice of others and can confirm it worked great.
The kick panels is made of metal and has lots of openings that let air from behind the panel interact with...
Correct. There will be 4 wires on plug on the output side of the amp with those colors. You will connect them to the kicks.
I used 16 gauge CCA wire because that’s what I have and the runs are short. I believe ou’ll be safe up to about 18 gauge in regular copper clad if the runs are short. If...
I LOVE the people who buy off-road vehicles and never wheel them. They make the best second hand vehicle purchases a few years later when lululemon mommy wants a new mall crawler. And they often buy them with Sas just for looks so you know it’s never been rashed. The other contingent is...
Logic sucks. Logic is what made me just buy all my armor and stick to my 35s for now when all I really want is 38s skinny like @Brian_B
Damn you logic!!!
So if you look at the T harness that you purchased, you will see that color coding should exist the same way. If it does, it will be very easy. If it doesn’t, you need to just map it channel to channel. But let’s assume that it does.
Start by carefully removing the cloth tape around all the...
Very happy to help if I can. I will post my response in multiple pieces to try to explain with pictures.
Obviously, this should be done with the harness completely unplugged and the amp in hand. I did mine at my kitchen table.
I did modify my P&P harness. They are all the same in that they...
Still not what I said. You no can read good.
Why are you here again? What is your purpose?
Yes. Two 4 ohm speakers wired in parallel (without a cap) will net 2 ohms. That is unarguable fact. Thank you for proving me right. This has never been about passive crossovers on coaxials or...
You seriously need help. You’ve reached full derangement level.
I’ve already stated I am using my amp in bi-amp mode. I have also stated my speakers are all 4 ohms. My amp is running at 4 ohms like it should be. The basis of the thread is to tell everyone they should also be running at...
No. You just have no ability to comprehend written English.
there is no double down. The facts remain unchanged. The statements are still the same.
You asserted in the prior thread that the kick panel wired to the dash speaker would still be 4 ohms because of a cap. It is not. It is two...
