Well I got a response from kenwood. They said they are researching the problem. But for now I disconnected the speakers and achieved the basic goal of turning off the internal amp. It still dosent work when the unit is powered on with the amp off though

Oh ok that makes sense. Ill try that when I get up and report back on the effect tomorrow. Thank you for your help. On another note I still have not heard from kenwood. It's been two days now. I don't know what their typical response time is but it says 48 hours on their website.

Hello, I'm new here and I'm looking for some help. I installed a new x997 yesterday after pulling out my fully functional old kenwood. We used the same harness so everything should work. I am using amps for my speakers and sub but there are the stock fronts not on an amp that I don't want to...
