Well after all these glowing reviews I purchased on from Amazon last week and did a quick install in my new 2017 Raptor Crew Cab and was a bit underwhelmed with the sound. I was not expecting miracles but with my truck being a base model with no factory sub woofer I was expecting more than a slightly noticeable difference. I played with all the setting and in order for me to actually here the sub doing anything the gain needed to be practically at 3/4's of the way up. I then did a quick and dirty install of the setup I just removed from my Sierra which was a Alpine Mono amp Feeding 300 watts to a JL 6.5" Microsub which was 5 times louder then the Kicker.

You are comparing apples and oranges

Yes I know that but I still expected more with all the glowing reviews.

The issue I'm running into with my Hideaway is that when the "fade" on the truck is set to dead center, I can hardly hear any sub. I have to move the fade to either the left or the right side of the truck to get any sub - and the further i move it, the more sub I get. Thoughts?

Fade or balance?

I have an 2016 XLT Sport SCREW. I had one of these units installed behind the rear seat. I am thinking of doing another unit. Will these units fit under the driverseat?

Ok, so I got the truck in May and I am still learning all the bells and whistles. It has the Hideaway, I was not aware of the remote bass control. I can see it plugged in on the amp. For a SCREW, what is the most common mounting place for the remote control?

I am about to order two of these off of Amazon for my 17 SCREW. For anyone that is already running two, is there a way to control both units with one external bass ****? It looks like a standard headphone splitter (female to two males) would theoretically work. I really don't want two bass *****.....

Also, for the power, should I run two separate power cables, or would one 8 gauge split for the two be enough? Or one 4 gauge split for the two? The power lines in for on the plug are pretty small gauged wire.

I plan to grab the input from the pillars, so i will have to run a line from each side to each unit, I guess?

I am obviously not an audio specialist. Plenty confident to install these, i just want to make sure I do it right.

Certified refurbished for 149.99 apiece:

$300 for two tens seems really reasonable.

I'm running two Hideaways off the WPT-1212 harness. The factory wiring is rated for 20A, and the Hideaways are only 10A fused, so for the volume I play my music at I should be fine.

I called Kicker regarding controlling both Hideaways with one ****, their tech support said it isn't possible. with the headphone jack style controls, but would be with their amps that i have the rj11 type connector.

I picked both my subs up used from eBay for pretty cheap. At $150/ea, I would probably do a separate amp/sub setup.

Where can I find info on this 'no door removal' install? I'm picking up a pair of KSC6904, KSC6504, and the Hideaway today after work. Found a local Kicker dealer that made me a killer deal, under $350 out the door for everything. Really looking forward to getting some better sound out of my new XL SCab. Also thinking about putting in a KSC3504 for the front center, since the connector is already there....

Edit: NVM, found the 'no door removal' thread a few posts down. Homer moment....
