[QUOTE="tundra06, post: 8217513, member: 659398"] Hi, Yesterday I some new equipment professionally installed in my truck, by a local shop that has been around for several decades. Equipment: Kenwood DPX500BT SiriusXM SXV200V1CLC some brackets and adapters to make it all fit keeping stock speakers The guys seemed alright, we had a few laughs, and I left my truck with them feeling pretty good about how this thing was going to go down. Right away after I picked up my truck, I noticed a couple of problems: (1) None of the 3 speakers on driver's side door are working. I set the balance all the way to left, and fade all the way to the front, and no sound comes out. All other speakers work. (2) SiriusXM radio always cuts in and out, even when driving on an open road with no tall buildings nearby. This seemed weird, so I read the install manual on the SiriusXM web site. One of the first things it says is DO NOT install the antenna inside the vehicle, for example on the dash. Guess where these guys put the antenna... inside the truck, on the dash, right next to the driver's side windshield column!! I think the speaker problem could be related to wiring (not connected at head unit or in driver's side door) or the left front channel in the head unit is blown. The chances of all 3 speakers blowing at once are slim to none. As for the satellite radio, is it a common thing for pros to install the sat antennas inside vehicles, going against the install manual?? I'm now pretty pissed that I paid these guys $80/hour, for 1.5 hours, to do such a crappy job. Please give me some advice before I go in and confront these guys. Thanks [/QUOTE]
