Help! What do you do with the plug from the original B&O subwoofer?
With my setup I didn't use it. The Keyloc uses side speakers input rather than the subwoofer to avoid the bass roll off

just installed the soundsgood audio fix the bass roll off kit. i kept the factory sub and added the kicker hideaway 10inch. WOW!!! with the right amp settings the bass really hits. im very pleased. in my younger years i had 2, 10 inch kicker comp VRs. so i am very familiar with nice sounding and feeling bass.

i found the time. i installed and sound deadend the doors. i even replaced the center speaker. eveything sounds amazing. full volume and still crisp. perfect bass. *chefs kiss* Only problem was trying to mount the center speaker. it compressed fit right now. any info would be helpful. i know people just unplug it but with the proper set up it sounds really good.

this is the speaker.

I have my dash speakers in my garage also waiting to find the time to install them. I looked up the spec of the speakers you got and the required mounting depth is almost 2" deep. That may be your issue.

Could this also be done to an XLT or Pro? I don’t have the center speaker or sub from the factory and I’m guessing the stock head unit isn’t as powerful

It's a different configuration, but yes. I've upgraded all speakers and subs in my Lightning.

Where did you mount the new Kicker Hideaway? Did you figure a way to keep it behind the seat, or did it make it out under the rear seats?
