Kicker Dry Run Does It Make Music ( 05-24-20 )

The plan is to do a dry sound check and make sure the Kicker Blue Tooth Sound System works and works well enough to keep Mike & I entertained on the 2021 Power Tour and Possible the Good-Guys Road Tour.

I needed a way to connect the amp to the Kicker main unit and all I could find in my bin of parts/wire was a 3 foot RCA wire.

Yes I used wire nuts just to connect the speaker wire and no they are not permanent.

Pulled out my 5 year old Optima Battery to power up the system.

Good News we have power. I am not exactly sure where I am going to mount the controller at this point. Possible in the center console that Kenny built.

As you will see it worked and it sounds great.

I'm jalous, can't wait to do the finals touches like this on mine.
Looking good

Thank you Andrew I really appreciate it.

05-28-20 Well this has got to change

So I have a couple old craftsman tool boxes at work and of course they are buried. At some point I will have to dig one of them out.

So I need a second hand and I also need a pair of glasses.

I need to buy the small Female to Female adapter to connect the 100 watt amp to the main amp.

Cover me Honey I am going back in.

Putting my new helping hand to work.

Apparently my dog figured I was in the trunk taking a nap so he did the same in the Cayman.

So valuable lesson learned. If you accidentally drop a long screwdriver it will somehow manage to land on the battery terminal and make really really pretty sparks.

Opps.

Confirming that everything is working perfectly before I hang the amp rack.

Love the progress and the detailed pics! The paracord tip is a great one!

Marty, are you gonna put two 15" subwoofers in the back and be beating all over town like the youngsters? :beavis::beavis:

I didn't see any "chunky" on the work bench
