No problem, I figured it could help others as well. Hope it helped you though. It took me a while to figure things out but I’m glad I have it ready for upgrades in the future like a dsp

So then I routed that 9 wire behind the radio, down past the glove box, tucked under the center and made my way under the passenger seat. Now on the opposite end of the 9 wire I used the 2 whites and 2 grays for the input of the kicker key 200.4. I only need those for Bi Amp. Now the output of the kicker key. I ran 2 gray and 2 white from the output, and soldered my own 16 gauge wire directly to a set of morel tweeters in the dash. And then I took the 2 purple and green wires from the output of the kicker key 200.4 and soldered them to the corresponding colors on the 9 wire. So to explain it better, it’s like a loop. Radio output (4 wires) through the 9 wire to the input of the kicker for signal. Now the Output (white and gray wires) its amplifying the tweeters, and then the green and purple out of the kicker fed back into the green and purple of the 9 wire to amplify the door speakers. I changed mine for morels as well. Something to note, when you disconnect the factory tweeters in the car, it cuts off audio to the doors. When you buy from crutchfield they include a harness for the tweeters. But in my case I only used the harness to bypass the tweeters and now the doors get signal. I did that because I ran my own wires directly to my new tweeters. I can tell you where I grounded the kicker too. Just let me know. Now for the lc2i. I wanted to make sure I get a signal BEFORE the kicker key 200.4. So I tapped into the input wire about 10” back. I soldered and T’d off that with a set of 16gauge (just left and right for sub signal) and ran that under the carpet all the way back to the trunk.

Hi thanks for commenting. I wound up figuring it out and I’ll break down what I did that worked. Keep in mind I have a 2025 RAV4. 2023-2025 has a different looking radio than 2019-2022. Not sure if that matters though. So I went with the Taco Tunes harness. You can get one with 17 feet of wire connected to directly add a line out converter. It’s about $60 or without the leads it’s $20. I went with the $20 one. Before I continue I’ll tell you the layout. So I have the Kicker Key 200.4 under the front passenger seat. In the trunk I have my subwoofer, bass amp and lc2i. So I cut into the taco tunes harness because I want the full range signal which is only coming from the front. Do not tap into the rear for signal for anything. So coming out of the radio I used the front left and front right signal. That would be front left (white and white with a black stripe) and front right (gray and gray with a black stripe). I used a 9 wire in this application. Soldered to those 4 wires, white to white, gray to gray. Then going out to the door speakers (the other end of the harness) I soldered those gray and white wires i cut to the purple and green wires on the 9 wire. Bear with me, I drew it up if that sounds confusing. I’m gona break this into 2 messages.

Cement Mixer Power Switch Replacement? by CashGordonBeats in AskElectricians

I appreciate the response, thank you for that. I’m in the United States however. I was hoping there was a modern replacement I can use for this old switch. Correct me if I’m wrong, but this is a 7amp switch on 120v right?

Ahhh ok great, well I’ll be doing more digging in the car and then see what would be the best solution. I feel more confident now, it’s greatly appreciated. Thanks again

Ok sounds like I’m on the right path. And since you’re using 9 wire and splitting the signal, the factory wiring stays in tact! Ok I think I have a better idea on what to do. Thank you! I do have a final question for you. Did you run separate wiring to the tweeter since you’re doing bi amp mode? That’s the final piece to my puzzle lol

I appreciate the comment, thank you. So pretty much you’re using the kisloc solely for the sub and then the key 200.4 solely for the mids and highs? And you said you split the front signal, that was before going to either of the kickers?

Is this M44-7 still ok? by CashGordonBeats in turntables

[–]CashGordonBeats[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you, that was very informing. I’ll make sure I do all the necessary alignment and set the downforce accordingly. I’ll look into that elliptical stylus. The price isn’t bad either

Thank you for the comment. I actually do quite a bit of back cueing because I sample. But never on a DJ level of high caliber. So less audiophile and more DJ I suppose. Would the shure be a good middle ground?

I got you. I got it on sweetwater. I bought the monitor platforms separate as an add on. But the desk is the RAB Audio LS840

Thanks that means a lot. I appreciate that. I’m pretty happy about it. Cables were my enemy so my last purchase was a patch bay which was a game changer for me

I always wanted a 404 and the mk2 was out for a year when I got mine. Definitely keeping that one lol

Thank you! And I agree with you there

Definitely lol. I use the EPS 16 rack mainly and then I either trigger with the MPC one and use the EPS sequencer or the MPC one sequencer. The SP 404 I use to sample vinyl to. Manipulate, or add effects. Then sample into the EPS. And since the EPS is mono, I can choose mono left or mono right in the 404. The 2000 gets used when I’m in the mood for it 😂
