Hi all,

I have two of these but I have bought a new sub, so I will only need one.

20503741.MVC901F.JPG

Kicker KX400.1 monoblock, single channel subwoofer amplifier.

Let's face it: you're achin' for bass. And with Kicker's KX400.1, you'll get bass in spades! This Class D subwoofer amp pumps out 200 watts of pure Kicker power to help your sub send you to low-frequency paradise.

You can tune your bass with the built-in low-pass crossover (variable 50-200 Hz at 12 dB per octave) to best suit your vehicle's acoustics and your tastes. Subs also often waste energy trying to reproduce ultra-low frequencies (way out of the range of hearing) — that's why the KX400.1 is outfitted with a 25 Hz subsonic filter, which keeps those performance-robbing frequencies away.  

For even more bass, you can dial in the KickBass boost for up to 18 dB of hard-hitting bass at 40 Hz. Kicker even includes a dash-mountable remote bass level control that makes on-the-fly adjustments a snap. If you'd like to add a KX400.1 to your system, but have a factory receiver with no preamp outputs, no problem: simply hook it up with the speaker-level inputs. For multi-amp system expansion, take advantage of the built-in preamp outputs to make installation easier.

    • just an update to this, poor man pays twice  Tried sanding down the pulleys but it didnt do the trick. Chucked another second hand alternator in the na car which I got for free off my mate and its fixed the squelling. Must have been unlucky with the bearings.    As for my turbo car, I managed to pick up a cwc rb alternator conversion bracket + LS alternator for 250 off marketplace, looked to be in really good nick. Installed it , started the car and its not charging the battery.... ( Im not good with auto elec stuff so im not sure if this was all I needed to do but I verified such by using a multimeter on the battery when the engine was running and I was only getting 12.2v )   I had to modify the earth strap for the new LS alternator , factory earth strap was a 10mm bolt which did not fit the bolt on the LS alternator which was double the size so I cut it off , went to repco bought some ring terminals that fit, crimped it onto the old earth strap and bolted it up to the alternator , started the car and same issue. Ran like shit and was reading 12.2 at the battery.  For a "plug and play" advertised kit thats not very plug and play but alas.  My question is , am I missing something ? Ive been reading that some people recommend upgrading the stock 80 amp alternator fuse to a 140 amp but I dont see how that would stop the alternator charging especially at idle not under load.  Regardless ive pulled it out and am going to get it bench tested by an auto elec tomorrow but it would be handy to know if ive missed something silly or have done something wrong.   
    • My wild guess is that you have popped off an intake pipe....check all of the hoses between the turbo and the throttle for splits or loose clamps.
    • Awesome, thanks for sharing!
    • To provide more specific help, more information is needed. What Android screen? What is its wiring diagram? Does the car's wiring have power at any required BAT and ACC wires, and is the loom's earth good?
    • So, now all you need to do is connect the 2 or 3x 12v feeds into the unit to permanent 12v, ACC 12V and IGN 12V that you can find in the spot behind the stereo, and the earth, and then it will switch on with the car.
