Kicker Key Amp 200.4 Install DIY Video - Do this first!

[Barlos]

Has anyone had any clipping issues with the key 200.4? I had a car audio place install the amp and replace all factory speakers with kickers but now whenever I turn my volume up to about 19 or 20 the two speakers in the dash start clipping. I've got my gain turned down. (They did not use the harness to install the amp)

Did they used bass blockers?

I don't believe so. is there a certain Hz you'd recommend for the bass blockers?

I put 300 in my dash speakers.

I read that 300Hz will do the job. You can unplug one the dash speakers and add it to the positive cable . Maybe that will help fix the issue.

Any chance you could send me a link to the ones you bought?

Do these only go on the dash speakers?

It’s probably hitting the limiter. A few of us are having the same issue. I have the bass blockers and it doesn’t help.

Yes. In terms of the amp. I’ve put the gain to almost zero. Don’t really need more as the power is enough to drive my speakers.

anyine else having issues with the sub coming in and out? installed and successfully completed dsp but if i listen to my music high for a few minutes it comes on and off. im assuming amp is over heating? hip hop music and i have gains all the way down.

I installed them only in the front and heart no much difference between fronts amd backs. A font Kickers CS sounds a bit sharp on the top with s new 6.5 " Morel that performs outstanding.
After lower the highs a bit in the setting I think that i achieved the optimal performance without a new external amp and a sub.

Loose wire somewhere? Ground maybe?

Nah. Using the harness and all pins looked good and tight.
