Upgrading factory amp to mopar kicker....

[s4twin]

Have a 2004 RC, can someone verify that mopar kicker amp(77KICK18AB) fits the 2004 model.
Thanks

Looks like a different plug from the picture

after looking under the dash at the amp, it looks like the connections are the same as the mopar kicker amp. don't know why some much surface rust.

Does it look like a factory tape job?? or someone has done something to these amp connections??

56043295ac connection looks like this:

77kick18ab connection looks like this:

Never seen the amp under the dash, I thought it was the amp under the center seat

the amp under the center seat is the sub amp

looks the same to me

does Mopar offer a Kicker sub amp also???

looks like someone did what i did hooked into the "amped" side of the amp instead of the radio/head side


normal on the rust. uncoated steel. saves money

I haven't found that mopar offers kicker sup amp.
What you mean someone "hooked into the "amped" side of the amp instead of the radio/head side". What would be the purpose of doing that. Currently the sound system is all stock as far as I can tell.

I just install the 77kick13ab kicker sub and 200 watt amp in my truck today. And it is a nice upgrade over factory while keeping everything factory. I was very pleased with the sound, but I was not looking for massive bass my factory amp craped out on me.

Nice! I upgraded my multi-channel amp to the Kicker one and immediately noticed the front door speakers getting a full range signal instead of just midbass. That alone really opened up the front stage, plus it doesn't use the center channel as much. However, the built-in "surround sound decoding" is not helpful for music, maybe if I had the OEM back seat video screen.
