Kicker Sub Upgrade How-To

[DezertRacer]

I'm installing the Kicker Sub this weekend.....SCREW version. Thanks for all the help in this thread. I may be contacting some of you guys.

Shoot me a message on Facebook if you have any questions .

Made some refinements in the settings on the 801/Nav. I can't get over the improvements this sub has. Amazing.!

Bummed...

I just got done wiring the whole set-up only to find no output on the sub itself. There is verified power going to the amp on the kicker sub as the green light is on but there seems to be no signal to tell it when to fire. I modified the stock Sony harness per the pics on the first page of this thread and re-went over everything. Would anyone happen to know what I might be missing or if they've seen/heard of this happening before.

Thank you in advance. Man I was really happy with the Kicker Door speaker upgrade I did and was really looking forward to the new Sub.

Please disregard...I found the problem...a wire came loos and I re-soldered it. Now it is cherry and the sound improvement is excellent. I couldn't be happier and thanks to everyone who had posted how to make this work! What a great forum.

"Same" in the way of install and components but the actual sub boxes and locations are different. The SCrew sub box looks very similar to the stock sub box and is mounted in the same spot using the stock mount locations. The SCab box is a long box that goes under the driver side rear seat and mounts to the actual seat frame using those metal clip fasteners and the same screws that mounted the stock box to the stock location. You also don't need to do anything with the jack location on the SCrews.

Why are the locations for the scab and screw any different? Why can't I just use the screw upgrade on my scab?

The sub for a screw is larger than the sub for a scab. They move the scab sub to the drivers side, because that seat, and the area under the seat is larger. Does that make sense?
