QuestionCan you use those with everything else stock?Just bought a 2008 Chevy Silverado LTZ crew cab. Wondering if I can use this without needed a new deck and speakers.
Asked 9 years ago by StephenD.
- Answer Yes, Most stock head units don't have preamp output, so you would just splice the Kicker's signal wires to the appropriate speaker wires. Then select to use High Level inputs on the Kicker Hideaway. Connect the power wire (with fuse) to your battery, and the ground wire to the car's chassis. When installed this way the amp will turn on when it detects input signal. There is no need for a Line Output Converter.

QuestionI have a factory head unit with speaker line connections to a 4 channel amp that then runs to the 4 door speakers. At what point in this chain do I tap into the speaker wires with this sub?
Asked 5 years ago by Syberson.
- Answer I tapped directly into my rear speaker wires without any issues. You also have the option to power the unit with RCA cables. It's capable of receiving either Hi (speaker-level) or Low-level (RCA) signals from your source unit and then you just set the Input Level switch on the side panel to match the outputs of your source unit. If you use RCA cables from the kicker into the back of your stereo, you don't tap into your speakers. If you go that route, you do have to connect the remote turn-on lead using 18 gauge wire from the remote turn-on lead on your source unit to the terminal labeled REM on the power harness. If you tap into your speakers, you don't need the remote turn-on wire and you set the kicker to DC Offset.

Questiondoes this thing work good load strong bass???????
Asked 8 years ago by bigDADDYHILL.
- Answer That's a subjective question. Let me put it this way, it sounds great for an 8" woofer. Do not expect the same sound you would get from a full-enclosure 12'' woofer. But it is much better than just your stock speakers. Very nice sound

QuestionDo I need bigger amp
Asked 8 years ago by Lewi.

Questionwill this be enough to power the speakers and act as an amp and sub woofer or would it be better to get a stand alone amp 5 channel? and a subwoofer box ?
Asked 2 years ago by setup.
- Answer This is not made to power other speakers. This is a self powered stand alone subwoofer. You will not be heard thumping from two blocks away. That's not what it's made for. It will add that extra thump that is non existent in factory radio.

QuestionI have an f150 crew cab Under my back seat is a sub with built in amp... Will this fit and be a good replacement?
Asked 8 years ago by Lonnie.
- Answer Well remember, this hideaway is an 8" sub. So if the current sub in your car is, lets say a 10", than the bass will be much less. I have a 2016 honda civic sedan and this hideaway is perfect for it because it is a small car. A 10" sub in my car will be too much bass for my taste. If you prefer louder/deeper bass than this may not be for you.
