adding AMP to 2020 1500 8.4 uconnect with basic non alpine 6 speaker package

[JP305R]

so i installed the kicker key 180.4 and got it to work i had to add the KISLOAD2 in bi-amp mode with the detect radio feature on the AMP on for the speakers to play. However everytime i turn off the truck they dont work and i need to remove the radio fuse for them to work everytime any ideas what the issue is???

How did you wire the amp? I installed the Key180.4 in my 2021 1500 (with base 6 speaker) and don't have any issues. I used the PAC ANC-CH01 to connect the speaker wires and even jumped off the power and ground from the ANC to power the amp.

Did you power it from the ANC? That sounds awesome! No need to run the power to the battery terminal?

Your problem might be due to the KISLOAD2 remove it. It is not needed for the base system the radio is not looking for a particular resistance.

Didn't you already start a thread on this question here?

Also a reminder to fill out your sig line with basic info on your vehicle, so people know how to properly help answer your question.

Yes. I just connected to the wires from the harness. Yellow is positive and black is negative.

Does the PAC work with the HK system?

I don't think it does if you have a factory amp.

Thanks for the reply. I read the HK upgrade thread but left somewhat confused. OP used a AmpPro but others had success with simple line out converter. Others mentioned this PAC NCS could be used. I need to do more digging. Thanks.

No problem. Yeah, it gets a little complicated when the factory amp is involved.

By any chance do you have the wiring diagram or pics on how you wired the speakers to the amp
