You dont splice into any part of the sound system with this upgrade it is 100% plug and play... other than hooking up the power wires.

The sub only kit does require you to splice into your speakers wires. I should know, they sent me this kit by mistake before sending me the full kit with is truly a plug-n-play system. I should have paid more attention to the directions that came with it. The splice connectors looked just like these...

sorry to necro this thread- would the kicker 400 upgrade (200w speaker amp, 200w sub amp, and sub) work with a 2014 crew cab all star edition w/adjustable pedals? The product description says it wont, but... I'm curious. If anyone has this setup, please let me know! Thanks!

Hmm... I've read that the location where you mount the dsp amp is taken up by the adjustable pedals... Can anyone confirm this? Or, even better, has anyone with adjustable pedals installed the 400 system? Still unsure as to why I wouldnt be able to simply relocate it... Thanks in advance!

Just do it.. you'll love it. best part is you wont need to put in different speakers either... I can run almost max volume and its significantly louder/cleaner/more bass than stock and doesnt distort out.

if youre used to the thump of 2 12's and super bright highs and punchy mid range this wont be for you. but if you're wanting the best $900 warranty keeping sound upgrade that really rocks the house for stock then this is your animal. Get ready to readjust your EQ. Id put it all to flat before doing the install so you can be most impressed with the initial turn on.

Video won't do anything... you can't feel the bass with a video. I'm sure the speaker kicks well. But I also think ( as covered before) that for about same price you can have a BETTER set up custom built - like I did.

 

I like the fact that the kicker is made for our trucks.. but my custom box fits like a glove as well.

Installed the 200/400 system over the weekend. Here is my opinion, it was easy to install, but i would expect a few hours. My kit was missing the instuctions for the front amp but it was pretty self explanitory once i figured exactly where the amp went and how to get the dash apart to attach the jumper harness. It is 100% plug and play with the 200/400, no splicing :). I would give it an 8 out of 10 for sound, it definitly filled out the sound. The door and dash speakers do sound better and the bass is pretty good for what it is. The system as a whole met my expectations, although i do think it is a little over priced, this should scratch most peoples itch for a little more in the audio dept. I will still probably upgrade to a custom system someday but that definitly won't be anytime soon....

      upgrading speakers on 2026 std cab WT...

      By bwiese · Posted

      I don't wanna do major surgery/upgrades, behind-the-dash work, add amps, change radio etc. on my '26 std cab WT. On the WT, it has the base 7" IOR infotainment setup, and only two speakers (doors). Since I listen to classical, looked around for speakers that do well and dug thru reviews. Two-way speakers were found to be better than 3-way. So I've ordered a pair of  Infinity Reference REF-9632IX 2 way speakers.  [These may  or may not have been discontinued / succeeded by the 3-way ...9633 ones.]    These speakers are lauded for 3 ohm and 94db sensitivity spec so they'll work well for ordinary base car radios without amps and offer better performance (quality,  strength) than  default base paper-cone speakers. They'll be installed in a few days and I'll let y'all know what I think. Bill W San Jose

      Thanks!   Changed out the rear shocks today to Bilstein 5100s.  So far feel much better. The stock Rancho were wore out.  Lots of heavy hauling (2 moves, home renovations, etc).  Next up is new BFG tires Monday.  Cant wait the current tires have little to no wet traction and are super loud (hum)

      Correct way to service 2024 l8t allison trans?

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      How about I just point to the factory pans stand pipe little drain plug and claim its a pan with a real drain plug !. I just couldn't swallow the fact that a Dorman pan which at this point is probably the only pan out there that fits the gas version truck cost that much up here in Canada so I decided initially anyway to skip it and see what I thought of pulling the pan method and down the road if I felt inclined enough then I would either install a drain plug kit in the factory pan if there is enough room for it, or have a bung welded onto it, or put an aftermarket pan on. The thing is if the pan is not pulled then the magnets in the pan can't be inspected and cleaned or if wanting to change out the filter. However of course it certainly would make the job easier to be able to drop the oil first before having to handle the pan if dropping the pan that go around was the goal.    I knew a guy locally that was doing custom field spraying years ago with a pickup pulling a ground driven sprayer, I believe it was a GM pickup with an automatic trans. He had a drain plug in his pan and would drop the oil out of it once a week and top it back up through the dipstick tube to keep refreshing a portion of the oil often and that made the transmission last far longer than had he done nothing. Soft fields pulling 500 gallons of water at the start of each mixed up sprayer tank batch and in low range sucking along. I imagine he got some tips from other custom sprayer outfits doing the same thing at the time and learning from their blown up tranny mistakes. Transmissions then had no lock up converter so would cook the crap out of the fluid slipping that much and it would not have been synthetic fluid either.
