Hi Wayne,
Thank you this sounds good to me. I will be changing to the KXV3B.

Hi Doug,
You don't need to remove the amplifier to put in a KXV3B.
If you have a basic K3, you only have to take out the KIO3. If you have a
sub receiver or K144XV, they'll need to be removed. But this is all very
well documented in our installation manuals, and I can do it blindfolded
with a slight hangover in about 15 minutes.
