Kicker Key 500.1 and sub install question

Hi everyone, I just got a 2022 A-Spec and I am wanting to move my Kicker Key 500.1 and JL sub over from my previous car. The Kicker Key is nice since it has DSP built in, so a Sound Control LC2i isn’t required.

In my Explorer I purchased a harness to make it plug and play into the factory amp and gave me a direct connection to the amp. Does any companies make that for our cars?

Has anyone else used a Kicker Key amp in the RDX? If so how did you do the wiring since it’s 2 sets of wires? Sub and rear speaker?

Thanks for any help!

Look on this site for sub installs. In 2020 or so. We did a very detailed install.
I ended up taking just the oem sub outputs to the amp. B/c it crosses over so high you don't need the other speaker inputs. Also I determined that changing the phase of the amp by about 45 deg put it on phase with the OEM sub. I tested by using a iphone app that generates any freq up a sliding scale. If you want details of how I determined the phase DM me. Good luck
