I was going ti install this past weekend too but there was an issue with shipping. Hopefully will have it by this weekend.
I’m concerned with theft too as I almost always have the back windows out and top down in the summer.
thanks for including pics! Glad to hear it’s working out and you’re happy with it. Excited to install mine. I already have the plug n play 11-1 for the key amp so haven’t decided how I’m going to go about connecting the amp, might end up tapping into the speaker wire.
How did the kicker hideaway install go @BFizzy @Biff ? Did you guys use a plug n play harness or just tap into the speaker wire? If so what was the best location to do this? Also, where did you mount it? Thanks!
Yeah that’s a good point. The wire nut solved the clipping problem for me so no issues so far. If I do get an issue that will be the first thing I check!

Running it to the battery wasn’t too bad, especially if you mounted the amp on the drivers side. I had a wiring kit from crutchfield that helped. I’ll try to take some pictures today.
Depending on the song it was clipping at as low as volume 12. I also am going to do my own grounding...
I was getting some bad clipping at pretty low volume. Some songs now will trigger the limiter even after running power to the battery, but that’s at like 24+ volume. Currently I replaced all the speakers with Kicker CS series and added the kicker key. Just ordered the hideaway 10in to top it all...
I just cut the power wire on the plug n play harness right at the fuse. Took the fuse out, connected 12 gauge wire to the power cord coming from the harness, ran it though the fire wall and attached to the battery (I used an amp wiring kit from crutchfield) put the fuse in near the battery. I...
How did you set your amp up? Plug n play harness? I think I had the same issue and just fixed it today. I was relying on power from the head until only using the plug n play harness. When I ran power straight to the battery the clipping went away.
First off THANK YOU for this detailed post. I ended up doing the exact same build following your post, I even just put in the kicker key amp. Seeing that we now have the same set up, do you get any clipping or disruptive noise out of your dash speakers when you listen to songs with any amount of...
