Ok. Do you have just tweeters in dash or do you mean the tweets on coaxials? Try turning off the dip switch for kicker EQ first. I believe it adds some highs and that may be your offending harshness. You may also want to DSP train with it off if that doesn’t remove enough highs. HU eqshould...

I have Alpine coax in the dash. Memphis midbass in the kick. No outboard crossovers, the coax has a bass cap but it doesn’t factor. They clearly don’t understand how bi-amp works. Make sure you listen to a lot of reference material before. Then critical listen after. You will be able to...

Very nice!!! The Key 200 and 500 should both use dedicated fused power direct to the battery. And use the remote send from the 200 to tell the 500 when to turn on/off. Auto detect on the 500 was not good for me. Wired to the 200 is great.

Haven’t seen one yet. Current producers of “plug and play” harnesses for the kicker seem indifferent to the fact they are running the amps out of spec. The posts about failed Key 200s on the internet are easily attributable to the 2 ohm load they inflict on the amp. Their janky config works...

Great write up, Bro! Be sure to grab all the diagrams too.

That said, your coax in the kicks are not ideal. You are not going to use the tweeter at all in the configuration. It won’t hurt anything. Just don’t expect to hear those tweeters at all. 640 down to 80 is a tight frequency range. But the bi-amp mode gets the best out of the dash and kick...

Grok is not all knowing. Back to page 12. There are two ways to use bi-amp. the key auto detects and uses the correct crossover points. It will know you have dash coax and kickpanel mids. the issue of not using passive crossover isn’t about the bass cap filtering on your coaxial tweeter. It...

you should probably find a new shop. The people you’re talking to are too fucking stupid to do car audio well. If you choose to stay with them, tell them RTFM page 9 and page 12. The amp will use internal crossovers to send the front channels 320 hz and up. Perfect for our little midranges...

I have no idea what any of that means!! I’m a simple guy who just misses the soft burble of a 351 or a 289. I accept my quiet little 4 banger. Don’t mean I like!

ROFLMAO

Oh! lol. Well it blasted my cabin overpowering music so it had to go. lol. But the world still hears a buzzy 4-banger. I cannot suspend my disbelief. :)

Never bought into? It’s absolutely fact. You turn it off with forscan. It comes through kick panel the most. After I upgraded my amp it absolutely was intolerable. the 500.1 is a good upgrade for the money. Run a new power wire with fuse and a remote wire.

these just help separate the front wave from rear. Presses flush to the plastic trim piece. Not required but seems to help.

That is great to hear! Glad you are loving it! It’s truly the best budget setup that exists for this system. Thanks for telling me!!!

any engine taking boost is working harder under higher pressure. They also drive differently. A V8 has a better feel overall. Complexity of parts is higher and those failures on turbos are exactly my point. Plenty of examples of failed ecoboosts out there. I’d much rather have a V8. If...

are you high? The bigger engine works less with less boost. Wear in tear will automatically be lower. There’s some design efficiency differences between modern engines, but… as a matter of fact, displacement is everything. And boosting is artificial displacement.

Tell me don’t understand that a twin turbo forced induction engine is under more stress than a larger naturally aspirated engine without telling me. I didn’t say a thing about which has more power. I prefer a V8 for sound, longevity, and btw…. Can still add turbo/supercharger and beat that...

id rather have a v8 hardly working than a v6 twin turbo working hard. Better longevity and just a more enjoyable driving experience.

Right on. We will check it out. Thank you!

im so traumatized i got the order wrong. Mach-e is even worse than I remember. Boss-e Karen mode. The horror… the horror… You just never know….
