Tpp4's No Nonsense Guide to Kicker Key T-Harness (16-19)

Leaving rca plugs does this make it so you can hook up an amp? Previous I added a plug and play rca to run my Rockford amp. Will this replace my plug n play rca ? Thanks

 

Can you elaborate a little more on what you mean

 

I’ve have one of these installed so I could run my mono amp for my jl 10”sub.

 

You could cut off the loc from your existing harness and splice it right here

 

Or could I just remove the add on rca and keep 2 rcas on the kicker ?

 

Like this

 

As long as
1) you still wire the male side of the Metra harness correctly
2) you make sure your current amp can take hi-level inputs, and you adjust any settings and gain accordingly

 

I have this amp.

$275 Rockford Fosgate R500X1D Prime 1-Channel Class D Amplifier

Rockford Fosgate R500X1D Prime 1-Channel Class D Amplifier

 

Would I use this to hook up an amp?

 

It looks appropriate to me but you had better check with those who know! Calling @destin_meeks

 

Yeah I’m sure that would work. Again, make sure any settings are correct and set your gain again after the install

 

I want to thank you again brother. My Kicker Key is amazing. No sub needed.

 

so just plug it in here and connect it to the rca on the kicker key?

 

Sorry but I’m confused. So if I keep 2 rcas and use the item you noted. Then can I run it to the rca inputs in my amp?

 

Okay now I get what you’re saying. Where do I add the remote from the loc on the harness?

 

Blue wires are the remote

 

K. I saw another post where a guy had the plug and play loc. The red wire is the remote on the loc right?

 

Disregard my last question it’s the remote wire obviously cuz it’s hooked up to my remote on my amp.

 

I replaced all the stock speakers with the Kickers & installed the Hideaway a few years ago. I finally decided to install the Key as no got everything hooked up this week. If anyone is on the fence, do it!! I was amazed at the difference it made in the sound, it seriously sounds 100 times better than before.

Thank you to everyone who provided input on this thread!! The directions were easy to follow & made the install go smoothly.

 

So I’m going to buy this. The brown wire is ground so I hook that up to the ground/black on the harness and my remote to the blue on the harness?
