    Thanks for making the effort Bro, I researched, purchased and installed the hideaway based on this video.Far as I'm concerned Kicker should be given you a kickback. My local installers at Best Buy were saying they thought it sounds better with the high level speaker inputs rather than the low level rca inputs anyway. Sounds great, appreciate it.

    Lil late but with your headunit did you make sure if there was a "Subwoofer On/Off" setting that was on and maybe that was way you weren't getting signal? I have a pioneer that has it set off by default as does my cheap dual unit in my truck with the same off by default setting

    The kicker KISL works fine with it. At first mine didn't work with it. So I got my multimeter set it to check continuity. Cause the male part of the Rca on the kisl is the positive part of the Rca and the side part is the negative. So I took my multimeter put the red to the tip of the Rca then put the black wire of multimeter to each wire until it made a beep and I knew that was the positive wire for the rca. Then did the samething but the lower part of the rca and to the remains 3 wires until I got continuity again then wired the + and - to the correct wires. Then I did the same thing with the other rca tip and checked the other 2 remaining wires so I knew which wires were + and -. Wired everything together and boom it worked now. Hope this helps if you want to use rca for better sound and control with your deck instead of having to use high level inputs. If you have any questions let me know. Thsnks

  • @DSKSeattle
    @DSKSeattle Před 6 lety +46

    Normally, if there is RCA out on the radio, you just run the RCA straight to the amp. If there isn’t, then you need a high-low converter (so you’re not amplifying high signal).
    If your amp has a built-low pass filter (which it looks like it does since it didn’t have a RCA input), then you have to tap directly to the speaker wire from your radio.
    What you tried to do was send a low signal from your radio (RCA output) into a low pass filter (in the amp). That is why you couldn’t get any sound.
    It seems like you sort of winged it, without understanding, and then made a DIY instructional video.

    • @TheRealDJOsk
      @TheRealDJOsk Před 5 lety +4

      Minh Tran A couple of things wrong with your comment, this amp can run on low (rca) signal or high (speaker) signal. It has a switch the lets you choose your configuration. The other thing is low pass filter has nothing to do with input. I know you meant low level input (rca). Just saying.

    • @t.durham6251
      @t.durham6251 Před 5 lety +3

      Minh Tran kicker specifies in their directions for this that you can run the kicker rca to an aftermarket radio. He might have wired the wires in the harness wrong to the rca but he did everything else right

      I think ur still supposed to keep it high level because it’s still speaker wire attached to rca cables. The sub works because of power. This happened to me installing an alpine power pack. I was stuck until I accidentally figure that solution.

    I just got one of these Kicker Hideaway's for my Toyota Tundra. It fits great and I like the look. My issue however is that it makes a loud click\popping sound when I hit really low\punchy notes. I'm not sure how loud these are supposed to get, I personally don't think I'm going that loud. It's as if the cone is hitting the casing or something. It sounds almost metal, I might make a video and post it on here. I try not to do it to much as I don't want to ruin it.
    If I avoid that particular issue it's just loud enough to add some warmth but doesn't provide a good punch, which it may not be designed to do so, which I guess I can accept but want to make sure something isn't wrong with it.

    • @ttlylegitdood
      @ttlylegitdood Před 8 lety

      I dont have the hideaway, but my first thought is did you set the gain properly? Lower notes typically draw more power, so it could be clipping if the gain isnt properly set. It could be something loose in the casing that rattles when the low notes hit, or possibly another part of your truck that is making the noise when those punchy notes hit.

    • @zoltarwizdom6708
      @zoltarwizdom6708 Před 8 lety

      I turned it down. I think I was just pushing it too hard and the speaker cone is hitting the metal casing - I hear it's aluminum and flat so that makes sense. I just don't crank it anymore.

    I know this video was posted quite awhile ago but I just have to say something ! This guy should not be posting tutorial videos on the proper way to do any kind of electronics and wiring installation ! One example of a totally wrong way to do something is twisting two wires together and then using shrink tubing without soldering the connection first ! Shrink tubing is an insulator that is used to prevent shorts, not a way to permanently make a connection !

    • @jikajikasafaris9682
      @jikajikasafaris9682  Před 6 lety

      Interesting mentality there I agree that if the connection is going to be under some pressure or weathering yeah go ahead and solder it but it being 3 years since the installation and everything is still running perfect it goes to show you that if you are good enough at quick splicing the wires it is sufficient.

    • @krasht1
      @krasht1 Před 6 lety

      Does not matter the conditions, that is not a proper splice. Shrink tubing is not a mechanical means of holding two twisted wires together. If you were to use a military splice or butt connector or solder it, it would be a means of insulating the connection not holding it together. I guess if it was temporary until you could do it properly it would be okay.

    You should really learn about high level and low level inputs. Looks like this amp was made for high level in put that's why it didn't work when you connected it to your sub output.

    Hello do I need an amp for this ?

    I think the reason your RCA connections didn't work, is because you spliced the remote turn-on with 16 gauge wire. In the instructions, it says to splice with 18 gauge.

    I almost bought this unit...best reviews and it appears to be the best...but it doesn't have RCA inputs. I know you can cobble it together with the adapter but wth Kicker? I want to have the input run in shielded RCA cable from my headunit (Past who knows what kind of electromagnetic interference) to my sub. And be able to control the sub from the headunit. Lame.

      B_12 they are right. It comes with 8awg wire.. with16awg your STARVING the amp/sub under peak load; which causes excessive wear, heat, and less sound output.

      ​@@jikajikasafaris9682you bet nothing is worse than ripping an entire dash apart and then find out oh I didn't have too. The rcas is why you did it I know but setting the input to hi and running it off of the rear speaker signal which are in the wire bundle you ran next to under the trim plates you pulled off. You still have to run the bass level module to the front but everything else you could of tapped in right under that trim plate
