I hope you guys at kicker read this comment. 4 weeks ago i didn't even know how wire gauge was. Yesterday I installed the key 200.4 with just factory speaker still on and the only atfter 20 minutes of setting up the mic, I was able to got insanely good amazing sound out of my old speakers. I could hear notes and things that i didn't even know was in the song. It was soo magical. I don't know enough to tune my own dsp and I'm too proud/ashame?? to get help from the shop so this is perfect. Now I'm a lifetime customers. I will be getting 500.1 and a kicker down sub too to. I can't wait to install new speakers.
Thank you Ken and John for videos like these. They're the reasons that convinced me to get this.
This made my factory 2024 Civic Sport Hatch stereo turn from night to day!! unreal changes and power. Then I added the Kicker 12 inch powered sub and OH BOY!!!!! When doing your setup, set you base/ tremble to med and fader / bal to med before setup. Great video
Thanks very much Chris!
Love ya Kicker. Y’all left before setting them gains. 200.4 owner here, Hallie Special for about two years now. I am very happy with the product THOUGH!!!! Per the gains comment, when bi-amp is enabled, preamp connected to front set per manual now comes setting gains. Having to cut my now soldered wires is a pain firstly(rookie mistake) to set gains. Second, proper gain voltage is only seen on AMP 2 output. AMP1 shows 0-1.8v on left and right.. why? It’s very clear and quite loud 3.33v max from OE head unit
Thanks for the observation...and the love! We're thrilled you are #LivinLoud!
Helpful. Would be even moreso if you utilized UA-cam chapters for easy navigation, on all of your videos.
This was a great explanation of the switch. The bad part I can't find these for sale anywhere. When will these be in stock again?
Chip shortages have pushed back production. We will have more later this year.
So when is the 300.6 coming out? I know it has got to be in the lab. It just makes too much sense to not make one. No more having to decide if you want active front stage or if you want to amplify all 6 speakers in base audio systems. Make it firmware upgradable with a very lite optional PC interface and it would be the perfect amp for 90% of customers. You would sell a ton and completely corner the market. I have also noticed that the prices of 200.4s on Ebay have been constantly dropping, so that makes me think something is on the way.
For the most part, we don't announce products before they are ready to ship. If/when we make an amp like that, we will announce it on UnMasked and social media. Loudly.
Great videos guys
When will the Key200.4 be available again?
Later this year. Chip shortages are a killer.
really wish you guys had an install on a 2019 ram 1500 classic, trying to install this with 4 k series speakers and a mono cxa400.1 with a down firing loaded enclosure..
The best thing is to contact one of our dealers. They can help you build a system: www.kicker.com/dealer-locator
If your car battery dies, does the DSP save the pink noise calibration?
The calibration is saved, even if the battery is disconnected.
@@KICKER-AUDIO THANK YOU for the answer! versatile and future proof product that I'm very happy with
Just ordered this amp for my MINI Cooper. Sorry if this has been asked already elsewhere, but do you stay in the car while the test is running? Doesn't your body (or lack thereof) affect the acoustics?
Yes it does. You normally exit the vehicle for the test.
@@KICKER-AUDIO Cool. Thanks for the clarification. Can't wait to get it installed.
In Bi-Amp mode can I remove the capacitors that came with my KSC270 spekers, or should I leave them on as a just in case?
Do you need to install a keyloc with this amplifier to restore factory bass roll off?
The DSP builrt into the KEY corrects bass rolloff, provided you feed it a full range signal to work with.
Any update as to when we might expect these to be back in stock?
Near the end of the year. The right DSP chips are still incredibly hard to come by.
Wouldn't be easier too just install
The substage system Part No: VKL3Z18808A for the f150 as there's a more stock looking system.
As too that system where's the best place too find it... I been looking too buy on but I can't find it anywhere as
They say there outta stock
Sorry, but we stopped making the VSS systems.
You never explained when or how to set the gains?
We do. The gain process is the same as what is in part 1 of this video: ua-cam.com/video/3OE7q2dhDtk/v-deo.htmlsi=B2OJ8vVwN4YLJW4_&t=1124
@@KICKER-AUDIO It would be helpful for all if at the 5:00 mark -- where they guy says "the gain setting features, which we'll talk a little bit later on how to set gain" -- you added something to let viewers know that you won't actually be talking about gains later in this video and provided the link to the video where you do discuss it.
This isn’t a 2021
