hmm as i was going through the wires again... it hit me that maybe my stock premium sound amp has something to do with the problem? is that even possible? the people at good guys told me a LONG time ago (before i discovered amazing prices online) that the stock amp could cause some major complications, and that normally they would take the amp out as a whole and reroute all speakers to get signals directly from my headunit.... sounds like a pain in the *** to me... could that be the problem? i don't know jack about that... i figure, if i got a wiring harness, all's well //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/mad.gif.c18f003ab0ef8a0d9c27ca78d77a6392.gif//content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/mad.gif.c18f003ab0ef8a0d9c27ca78d77a6392.gif//content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/mad.gif.c18f003ab0ef8a0d9c27ca78d77a6392.gif//content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/mad.gif.c18f003ab0ef8a0d9c27ca78d77a6392.gif//content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/mad.gif.c18f003ab0ef8a0d9c27ca78d77a6392.gif

That wont have jack shit to do with your sub amp as long as it is hooked up to a preamp output on your hu

actually it's not connected through preouts.. the guy at crutchfield told me that the wiring harness he was selling me would "take care" of the stock amp... bah i dunno //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/frown.gif.a3531fa0534503350665a1e957861287.gif//content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/frown.gif.a3531fa0534503350665a1e957861287.gif//content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/banghead.gif.8606515f668c74f6de0281deb475b6fd.gif

ummm actually to bipass a factory amp can be a serious pain in the *** even with a sub amp. that would be my guess as the problem and if Al&ed's didn't seem to think that was a possibility then you should go to a dif. shop from now on. i don't know how to bipass it but try that and i can promise you your system will thump like it should.
