    Kicker Key 180.4 Amp install

    I figured it out compression makes the limiter lights go on way sooner then without it so I turned compression off. And was able to put the gain up

    Kicker Key 180.4 Amp install

    So I did all that but now the amp sounds way less powerful I’m curious do you know if any of the settings on the amp lower the volume considerably out of the white switches on it?

    Kicker Key 180.4 Amp install

    @Graygoose @HTXRamExp @Ramm5.7 well guys I got it to work tested it for a day now. Even though the remote wire was giving the proper voltage it was the issue. I changed the setting to DC and disconnected the remote wire from the fuse box. Thank you all for the help!

    Kicker Key 180.4 Amp install

    After testing all the input voltages from speakers power and remote wire I’m gonna get a new amp to see if the amp is defective. Out of options at this point.

    Kicker Key 180.4 Amp install

    @Graygoose @HTXRamExp @Ramm5.7 used my multimeter verified the kisload is putting out 24.9ohms of resistance on each channel. The speaker wire going into the amp is getting a voltage reading between .5-3volts depending on the volume knob setting on the factory radio. This is both when the amped...

    Kicker Key 180.4 Amp install

    spoke with kicker technical support. They want me to test the signal from the radio wires before and after the kisload when it’s not working to find out if maybe the amplifier is having issues or if no signal is coming. Goose did you have your radio detect button in the on position with the...

    Kicker Key 180.4 Amp install

    @HTXRamExp @Graygoose @Ramm5.7 Started the truck today and the front bi-amped speakers had no output.I had to remove and put the radio fuse in for it to work again. So now every time I shut off the truck the radio fuse needs to be taken out and reinserted for the amp to power the...

    Kicker Key 180.4 Amp install

    @HTXRamExp @Graygoose @Ramm5.7 Well boys I got it to work. I needed to unplug the radio fuse like HTX said I did also add the KISLOAD which I don’t think I needed. I’m pretty sure it was the radio fuse.for future reference it does work with the 2020 RAM 5th gen in case anyone in the future finds...

    Kicker Key 180.4 Amp install

    Wife wanted me to help her with some stuff but I had started to double check all the connections and already found one mistake corrected it. Gonna finish tomorrow double checking and for the in line fuse just pull it out and stick it back in? Also what size fuse did you run for your power for...

    Kicker Key 180.4 Amp install

    @Graygoose @HTXRamExp Ok maybe I’m a dumb...this might be stupid but I was under the impression that when I connected everything atleast sound should be playing through the speakers before auto EQ set up process using the mic. Is that correct or does the setup start to make it all work???

    Kicker Key 180.4 Amp install

    Yes one speaker per channel the rear speakers aren’t connected at all. Auto EQ set up? I plugged everything in and it’s powering the speakers that are connected to the amp but when I turn on the radio it doesn’t play any sound except through the rear speakers which aren’t connected to the...

    Kicker Key 180.4 Amp install

    How many cycles we talking? Yea so I literally did the exact same thing as you leave backs factory with a sub installed. Only difference being how I only re wired the tweeters. I tried the default radio reset on settings didn’t make it work. Maybe since I got the 2020 5th gen it changes...

    Kicker Key 180.4 Amp install

    @HTXRamExp So you connected new wires to amp1 of the output harness and ran those to the dash speakers. And connected the OEM output speaker wires going to the door speakeR exactly! Did you guys use a L2C or anything or just the amp to the radio like in your pics

    Kicker Key 180.4 Amp install

    @HTXRamExp Also I didn’t re wire the door speaker just the dash. As I don’t know how the doors can be done without some serious gutting of the truck there is a computer module and huge metal plate and the dash blocking the area where the wires go through the rubber grommet. So a set of the...

    Kicker Key 180.4 Amp install

    @HTXRamExp hmm I’ll see if I can find the inline fuse for the radio any picture of this for an idea would be very appreciative. Thanks for all the help thus far. As far as key cycles I assume you mean turning the car on and off? I’m not getting any error codes which is good. Not sure why not...

    Kicker Key 180.4 Amp install

    @HTXRamExp @Graygoose So 7 hours and now my front speakers don’t work at all. I can hear them getting power from the amp but for some reason no signal is getting through my rear speakers and sub are still working as I didn’t touch those. I used the KISL put the positive and negative LF to one...

    Kicker Key 180.4 Amp install

    Thank you so much man one last thing is it better to use the KISL instead of just cutting off the RCA’s off the key harness and using high level input I don’t really understand the difference???

    Kicker Key 180.4 Amp install

    Ok thank you! last set of questions for you. Is there enough existing factory wire that comes from the HU to properly place and connect the amp behind the HU do you recommend like a 9 conductor cable?

    Kicker Key 180.4 Amp install

    What is the reason behind rewiring both sets of dash and door speakers? Is there a reason we can’t use the existing wiring? It makes sense that if they are ran parallel we would want to separate them completely but then wouldn’t we just re wire the door speakers? Thank you for the response.
