Shows the value as listed in the spreadsheet with the first box showing 1808.
Left it overnight and just powered up the audio and no change. Still not working.

So I just received the OEM Kicker Sub and installed it. Pretty straight forward. Comes with a harness that connects amp to truck wiring behind rear pillar. But i'm getting nothing out of it. I had the dealer turn on kicker settings. I own a multimeter, but not sure how to check for power. Any help?

Had a chance to look into this a bit more; when I connect the old remote wire the amp turns on. At 15 volume the sub is in fact resonating so it's getting signal; but very weak. I went off the recommendations of others and split the +\- to both L&R inputs. In stereo and Mono mode it sounds about the same. Was WAY more base before the harness.
The 6V turn on does not appear to jive with my amp. My remote pulled out and popped my #23 fuse and I don't have any spares so that was it for tonight.

first things first check this fuse:
If that fuse is good then set you multi meter to 20V. Unplug your harness and touch the red probe to the top left pin on the truck side. Touch the black (com) to a ground. Nice bolt where the seatback locks into the rear wall. You should get 12V or more with stereo on.
If thatworks try the lower left pin truck side; that is the remote turn on. It should be 6V.

I don't have the sub yet but I had the dealer enable the kicker settings. The door and dash speakers sound much better now. I think Ford knows that their stock paper speakers can't handle a lot of power. But when selecting Kicker, it feeds a little more? Does that make sense?

The remote should put out 6V. If I remember correctly the harness will show 12V even if it is not enabled; turning it on through IDS or Forscan turns on the remote wire..... can anyone confirm? i can do some testing tonight after work maybe. It's -18 here today.

yes they can enable the "7 speaker with kicker" setting which changes the filters for the speakers sub BUT they have to enable the "external aux. subwoofer" setting. Without that; no joy.
