Kicker Sub upgrade

[FoShizzle]

I want to do this. Where did you connect your amp for the speaker signal?

Zoom into the last pic and you can see the 4 wires going to oem sub that I hooked up to the input side of the amp.

What did you use for the signal side for the amp to turn on/off?

Nothing needed. It’s built into the amp already. It turns on automatically with the audio signal and off about a minute after you turn off the truck.

So you still have the oem amp plus another amp for the new sub? The new sub was direct drop in?

Correct. That’s what makes it so easy.

Good easy option that doesnt lose floor space, I like it. May have to consider this. Thanks for posting the pics.

That looks pretty clean. Thanks for the review.

So literally all you needed was the new sub and amp? Might have to give this a go if that’s the case!

Yep! ...and 2 wires run to the battery for clean power.

So the input to the Kenwood amp is the subwoofer output from the B&O amp? Is that correct? If so, is there a hi-lo converter somewhere?

If you did daisy-chain two amps, how did you compensate for the bass roll off from the B&O amp? (Because the factory system reduces bass level when you crank up the volume to protect the factory speakers).

I’m interested to try this but have those thoughts.
