From what I know, Keyloc fixes the output response, which more or less is fixing the input plus environmental issues.

On Sync4, it starts to clip at 25, but I don't try to go over 20 as on prolonged listening sessions it will glitch and audio will cut out. It will reset after being powered off for a period of time. My assumption is that this can be resolved by adding load resisters, but I haven't tested that yet.
It does fix it i have that kisload4 from kicker. it does its job. since your just off the fronts you could probably just run the 2 channel version kisload2. Get in forscan tuen the rear channels completely off. I didn't do this i wanted my fader to work at the radio.

$60 for a box of resistors? I will order some 50W resistors and put them in. I don't remember if I disabled the rears, I will check that.

Thanks for the input.

For how much room there is on the back wall, there is one strategically placed module to just make it annoying.

Hey, how did that tow hit module come out? Not sure how it's latched in there

How were you able to access equalizer thru forscan on the '25? I have not had any luck searching for that.

The larger black module slides on the bracket, then there is a clip to keep it from sliding off. Reach behind the bracket, depress the tab, then it will slide off.

The old Forscan spreadsheet had the AS Built values, not sure why those were removed. I thought I downloaded a copy but I cannot find it. I will grab some screenshots from Forscan.

Thanks. I had alaready made some corrections thru my dsp and did not notice much of a change. Tomorrow going to try starting with the flat signal and see what it sounds like

Finished the last of the wiring runs to the front, the signal wires to the input of the PS8 Pro DSP.

Measured the length and put on the RCA ends on the DSP side.

Prepped and ready for install.

Ran through the factory guides to the kick panel.

Under the fuse box where the remote splits off.

Over to and up the center console.

Up to the factory wiring for the ACM.

Reinstall the ACM.

The rear panels still need to be installed, but roughly run to the DSP.

Good afternoon! I am about to start my journey of installing a sub and amp and was wondering if you had any issues running your high level inputs and remote turn on lead together? I know for the power wire, they say not to run the audio signal with it, being that I have a hybrid, that is not an issue but didn't know if I also needed to keep the remote turn on lead(fuse #3) separate.

I can't answer your main question, but I wanted to suggest using fuse #6, as it will most closely mimic the operation of the OEM head unit - meaning it has 12V+ until you open the door, even if you turn the engine off. I used fuse #6 for my amp remote and it works great.

I believe fuse #3 cuts power as soon as you turn the engine off.

Thank you so much for the suggestion! I didn't know there was a difference, will definitely use #6! What is the proper way for tapping remote lead into a fuse?

No noise issues what so ever at any volume or speed. I am using guitar wire for RCAs which have a fairly large insulator between the shielding and the center conductor.

I have this issue where the remote cuts out when I turn off the ignition. I will investigate and update this. Thank you for the tip.

Midbass in the doors, not great, who would have known. I might be a bit overly critical, for the most part they are great, but on certain songs with lots of info in the lower midbass range, they get a little unhappy, and vibrate the door panel. I thought I could live with the compromise, but I cannot. I have been researching options, and landed on adding a front sub. This does a few things for me. 1: it removes energy from the doors, 2: it should allow me to keep the volume up on those heavy midbass songs, and 3: I am hoping to gain or keep the same level of punch, but lower the bass slightly. Not sure exacly where it is going to go yet, I am hoping it will replace the glove box without taking up any leg room.

Enter the Stereo Integrity BM-11, I picked this up used. In my research, this modeled the best, and has a great reputation, I feel this will do exactly what I want. Currently the Morel Hybird MW6's are bridged off of the Morel MPS4.400 giving them the potential 200W. I will be switching them to a single channel output, and run the BM-11 bridged instead. One thing that works out is the BM-11 has dual 2 Ohm coils, allowing me to bridge it at full power. The Dayton LS10-44 has dual 4 Ohm coils. It modeled OK, but the BM-11 still edges out. The other option I found was the SB Acoustics SW26DBAC76. It also modeled well, and was in a similar price point as the used BM-11. I think either would have been fine, but I decided to go with the BM-11 due to the great reviews it has had.
