Got my kicker key 180.4 installed tonight with the plug and play harness and holly crap it made a huge difference. Not sure I would use this with stock speakers unless you have the gains turned all the way down. I was listening to BPM (techno) on SiriusXM and I could smell my speakers burning lol only had it turned up to 16 which was loud as hell. I’m guessing it was coming from the stock speakers in the kick panels because I’ve changed the dash and the rear speakers out to aftermarket. The factory kick panel speakers sure were bumping though I was surprised how well they sounded but after I smelled something I turned the volume down it’s definitely a speaker smell I’ve smelled that smell before.
Only issue is I think my warning chime is now twice as loud which sucks I can’t figure out how to turn it down in the settings on radio I don’t think there’s a way. The push button tone is also double as loud. I turned that off in the settings so stuck with the loud warning chime when doors are open and loud seat belt chime might have to just deal with it. I’ll mess with it more tomorrow in the day light. It was really quiet out since it was dark so maybe I’m over thinking how loud the warning chime is. I did mount mine under the steering column used Velcro to hold it down on that silver plate there was plenty of cable to get it there just take your time fishing the wires over there and you’ll get it.
