DIY Multipro Tailgate Speaker System

[B33tl3]

I asked Kicker about the wiring harness here is the reply

 

"We have the harness pack available for purchase for $99.95 plus tax. To order this part you can call (800) 256-0808 and ask for Customer Service. The part that you need to order is 46MPGHARNESSES."

Hello,

Would it be possible to buy the STL files to print my own pieces..

 

Thanks

How are yall DIYers mounting your amp?

When I 3D print the BT Controller the top of the Triangle does not come together. it leaves an open space.

Can anyone tell me why?

Looks like it might need a support for bridging above the large rectangular opening. Are you using supports? 

[mhadley38]

I am using supports. the USB one comes out fine. But the BT does not. Just wasn't sure if there was something up with the code.

Are these kits still available? FYI the harness has to be ordered thru the dealership or maybe even an audio shop, you can't order directly from Kicker.

I have mine working. I had to reprint the parts with PETG filament to make them UV and sunlight resistant. The first ones warped.

 

I wired in a power switch as there are times I will use the system without the tailgate down (for example when camping and I have my hitch in). I also, just ran a standard amp wiring kit along the undercarriage rather than cutting into or modifying my 7pin connection. The 10 Gauge wire was much cheaper than buying the $90 pigtail.
