KICKER KEY200.4 INSTALLER

[shirtandtie]

Hi all,

I’m looking for a car audio installer in Connecticut (I’m based in East Hartford, 06118) who’s familiar with the Kicker KEY200.4 DSP amplifier and ideally has experience with calibration/setup using the included microphone and pink noise process.

Here’s my setup:

• 2007 Honda Accord EX V6 Sedan
• Kenwood DNX697S head unit (5V pre-outs)
• Factory speakers: 2 front door woofers, 2 rear deck speakers, 2 tweeters
• Using factory crossover network (not bypassed)
• No sub, no separate amp currently
• I want to retain the factory speaker wiring and cleanly integrate the KEY200.4

I’m not looking for upsells or a full custom build — just a clean install with the KEY200.4, using RCA pre-outs if possible. I’ve had bad luck with local shops that dismiss the Kicker or push expensive alternatives without listening to what I’m trying to achieve.

If you know a shop (or are an installer yourself) who’s DSP-savvy and respectful of what the customer actually wants, please let me know.

Thanks in advance!

I can't provide specific recommendations for installers, but I can help with technical questions about your setup!

I think I’ve seen enough videos and whatnot that that’s covered. Unless you know of something important I should know. I’m open for anything at this point. It’s been a crazy story of frustration up to this point.

Can't help you with a recommendation,. but any chance Kicker has a list of authorized installers in the state?

Been there. Done that. Jo-Di’s in West Hartford which I won’t go back to. Long story. Best Buy WAY overpriced. Extreme Audio in Manchester doesn’t carry Kicker products. Attention To Detail in Middletown same as Extreme Audio. I’m ready to give up!

Ah yes, great idea! Seems a lot of active members here only want to participate in political threads lately.

Are there any active members here from Connecticut?

Ahhh. I was wondering what triggered the thread getting locked literally 3 minutes later.

I am not sure myself either but I know Dean from 5 Star Car Stereo down in Clearwater, Florida has done installs with them and may have some videos related to the Kicker Key. Could be educational and helpful.

Всем привет,

Я ищу установщика автозвука в Коннектикуте (я живу в Ист-Хартфорде, 06118), который знаком с усилителем Kicker KEY200.4 DSP и, в идеале, имеет опыт калибровки/настройки с использованием входящего в комплект микрофона и процесса розового шума.

Вот моя установка:

• Honda Accord EX V6 Седан 2007 года
• Головное устройство Kenwood DNX697S (выходы предусилителя 5 В)
• Заводские динамики: 2 низкочастотных динамика в передних дверях, 2 динамика на задней полке, 2 высокочастотных динамика
• Использование заводской кроссоверной сети (не шунтируется)
• На данный момент нет ни сабвуфера, ни отдельного усилителя.
• Я хочу сохранить заводскую проводку динамиков и аккуратно интегрировать KEY200.4

Я не ищу апсейлов или полностью кастомной сборки — просто чистая установка с KEY200.4, по возможности с использованием RCA-выходов предусилителя. Мне не везло с местными магазинами, которые отказывались от Kicker или предлагали дорогие аналоги, не слушая, чего я пытаюсь добиться.

Если вы знаете магазин (или сами являетесь установщиком), который разбирается в ЦОС и уважает реальные желания клиента, пожалуйста, дайте мне знать.

Заранее спасибо!

Hi!
I have installed these amplifiers many times.
Here is a link to the description of installation and setup.
Read it with a translator - it should help.
