[QUOTE="rickrhoda, post: 8733837, member: 682149"] So, 2 custom shops cannot figure out how to fix my problem. In winter, my system goes haywire, ranging from static on one side to the sub amp not powering on, to subs constantly fluttering with no audio signal. These events occur until the car is shut off and amps power down. It usually takes 3 starts before the system powers up properly. It's much worse in the winter. Other than the winter, it may have once in every 50 starts. I have been able to deduce that if I start the system without starting the engine, the system will play fine. However, when I start the car, the system goes haywire. I have an Audio Control DQ61 summing my factory signal and then the signal is sent to JL Audio XD Amps. The ground has been cleaned up really well and doesn't seem to be the problem. I'm not sure if there is some faulty wiring when the system was first installed. Or, is the battery causing the problem? Or, should I use a different summing unit, such as the JL Audio Fix 86? The custom shops tried remote wire and no remote wire. I have attached a video with one of the problems. Your help is greatly appreciated. [/QUOTE]
