Kicker Sub Upgrade How-To

[Mariner]

Anytime and I hope it helped.

I found another mod that improves the distance of our remote start system (for those who have it) plus provides an OEM perimeter alarm and allows us to control it from the smart phone app with a yearly fee of $50 (I believe). I"ll more than likely end up doing a write up on this as I'm sure others will want it. Stay tuned.

Is that the deal Beau is selling right now? Keep us in the loop

Can someone clarify, if you install the kicker speakers will the stock tweeters not work? What about the center speaker on the dash ?

The Kicker speakers are coaxial speakers (basically an all in one speaker). The OEM front speakers are component speakers (the highs and mid range signals are sent to individual speakers). The rear OEM speakers are coaxial speakers. So to answer your question, the tweeters in the pillar would not be used and all sound would come from the coaxial speakers in the doors. The current center speaker would not change.

Well the kit I got didn't have the kicker harness in it, mega bummer. Working with Beau now trying to figure something now.

So he's sending me another harness, so I'll do the install in a couple days. Can't wait!

gotcha or i saw someone use the kicker amp to supply the kicker speakers and the factory amp to supply the tweeters and center speaker. Can anyone report back if the kicker speakers sound are much better than the stock speakers even with out the tweeters....

Hmm sounds like a lot of wirng , I was just going to use the sony amp and then the 2 wires coming from the front door speakers and use them on the kicker speakers . I know they are a different set up but I think that even them in place over factory will be better then whats in there .
