On the back of your deck, did you use a Y (where you join both RCA's into 1 output)?? I tried this method, and hooked up to my RCA amp outs, in back of deck, Nothing!? Thanks!

No, the back of my deck has both red and white RCA input spots. What brand/model is your deck?

@@jamesb1988 Hey thanks for the video! I installed an aftermarket BOSS radio. I figured out which ones the RCA outputs were. It's also a navigation system, with camera capability, so the RCA output for amp was a little harder to figure out. Also, I figured out that, the Kicker powered subwoofer has to be set to 12V, 0 and gain almost all the way up, or it feels like it's Not on! Thanks again for vid!

@@toanigamboa4483 hmm... if you feel like it take a picture of your set up and email it to me at higgins8891@outlook.com and I'll see if I can figure out what's the issue. Cause my gain is only up a quarter of the way and it's bumping, so it seems like there might be an issue somewhere..

Hey, I had a dual combo amp and subwoofer and I just plugged the wire harness into the kicker pt250 and I’m not getting the power light to turn on at all. Any advice?

Probably need to connect your blue remote wire.

Gotta say, not very impressive on Kicker's part to include an input selection switch, but no low level inputs with it's cabling.

No kidding :/ more often than not I would guess that if somebody is adding a sub to their deck they either have a deck in a car new enough that utilizes RCA ports or an older car with an after market deck that does.

Seriously, though, thank you. I clipped some rca input cables and crimped them into the high level input wiring.

So im hooking this up the way you initally had it..the ghetto way..but my question is because i couldnt see in your video is on the blue rca cables you spliced to the speaker wire on the kicker once you cut the rca cables which of the 2 colors were positive and negative on the original cut rca cables?

Because I'm trying to splice my blue rca cables to the speaker wire but my rca cables have a white and black wire on one and a blue and white on the other and I'm wondering if you know which is positive and negative on both those..I'm assuming the white is positive on both but idk

@jamesb1988 thanks..I went ahead and tried and just for the record the 2 whites were negative and the black and blue were the positives. Which was weird to me that black was positive

Can you show a better view of how you connected the rca

And don't forget to switch the 2nd switch to 'Low'! The first switch is the 12+ or DC and the third switch is Phase: 0 or 180. It's the one between those two and has to be on Low if you are using RCA connections.

This thing will hook up to RCA, but you need a RCA converter like he used in his video. Kicker sells one (KISL) or your local audio store or Amazon (link on this video). Then plug in to back of head unit, to RCA output (also called pre-amp output). Your guna need RCA cables! (to reach RCA input/off your powered sub to>> back of head unit RCA output). Set powered sub to 12V, 0 and turn gain up atleast 80%, give it a few seconds and it'll start thumping! Good Luck!

You're ridiculous that thing turns on when it picks up signal from the speaker wires that you tap into
