Earlier trucks I believe the wiring is different. This guide in particular helped a lot with my 2015. Huge props and thanks to both and for their guides and knowledge sprinkled through this forum. The Infinity speakers sound better, but the factory head lets them down a lot. If the factory junk did one thing well, it was make half decent bass out of 5w of power. I put as big a sheet as I could up against the outer door skin (through the speaker holes) and several smaller pieces on the inside of the inner door panel anywhere I heard rattles. Spend a few bucks, and at least cover the sheet metal around the speakers. There are many products, several work well, but the factory doors have a cartoonish absence of sound deadening (actually the whole truck does). (post #6)Īnother thing I can’t stress enough is ADD SOUND DEADENING. I’ll remind myself and follow up eventually. What I don’t remember is, did I wire red to black, or like colors. What I did was remove the factory tweeter from its mount, salvage the factory plug (seen above) connect the wires to act as a jumper, then epoxied the new tweeter to the old mount. This is because the way the wiring for the front doors flows, the tweeters and midrange speakers are wired either in series or parallel (I don’t recall which, will verify next time I have my door open.) literally, if you remove the tweeter, the midrange gets no signal. I will say that going the route I did, with an Infinity component set in the front doors and ditching the factory “2nd midrange”, you will need to bridge together the wires on the tweeter plug. There are several threads for installing door speakers in 2nd gen dual cab trucks. I will be posting links to threads by others I found helpful. The newest 2nd Gen truck’s are six years old and well known at this point. They have a suggested MSRP of $249.95 each and are now available for purchase online and in stores.Firstly, let’s say I didn’t invent any of this stuff. The Key 500.1 comes with 24dB sub-sonic and low-pass crossovers, bass boost and gain controls, and matches perfectly with any Kicker subwoofer or loaded sub enclosure that’s 12 inches or smaller.īoth the 200.4 and the Key 500.1 can work with modern factory or aftermarket audio systems. In a matter of moments, it reveals a clean, even bass response at all volume levels. Once analyzed, the Key 500.1 automatically repairs peaks in that signal while revealing the low bass that is typically missing in mediocre systems. Using Kicker’s supplied test tones (downloadable from the company website), the Key sub amp automatically analyzes the audio being fed directly into the amplifier. The Key 500.1 is a 500-watt subwoofer amplifier, built in the same compact footprint as its four-channel cousin but focusing on a single bass channel. The true potential of the vehicle’s full-range system is revealed in a matter of seconds, delivering dramatic improvements in realism and soundstage without the need for expensive external processors or professional tuning. The system detects each speakers’ size, applies a 24dB crossover and 40 channels of equalization, applies time alignment, and customizes the gain levels of each channel independently. A simple press of the selector (attached to the microphone) sets the KEY’s test tones and proprietary algorithms in motion. The remote is designed to start the automatic tuning and calibration process once amplifier installation is complete. Kicker Key 200.4īuilt to improve the performance of door speakers and tweeters, the start/stop-compatible Key 200.4 four-channel amplifier comes with a microphone and integrated push-button remote. The Key 200.4 Smart 4-Channel Amp/Processor and the Key 500.1 Smart Mono Amp/Bass Revealer use AI-driven DSP (digital signal processing) to dramatically improve audio. Kicker has two new auto-tuning smart amps, the Key 200.4 and the Key 500.1, that have the capability to automatically repair inferior factory or aftermarket audio.
