which issues are you having?

Nothing I am just naive with tuning this stuff but I got it dialed in after some reading. Now I want to add some mid range punch. I guess a doors speakers upgrade should cover that? Anything you recommend to work with the factory radio and fit the factory spots?

Just for ***** and giggles here is a pic of the power lead I ran to the junction block.

So I only had this thing up and running a few weeks? I had some ******* cut me off and I had to make a quick defensive maneuver. Which in turn made things in my cargo area shift and the subwoofer slid and yanked at the wires going to it. Apparently damaging the socket for the remote bass control. Rockford says that is part of the amplifier assembly and it will need replaced. Basically f'd. Anybody else doing something like this make sure you have PLENTY of extra slack in the wiring or the box secured to keep it from moving. I was eventually going to secure it in place once I figured out where I wanted it to stay.

So depending how it goes with Rockford I may just get an external amp and bypass that one. Don't feel like paying the freight to ship this thing back and forth for repairs. Kinda pissed off. :mad::(

2018 Tahoe - can you tell me where to locate the antenna wire for the satellite radio. Sirius sent me a WCS Filter that is supposed to help with my signal cutting out whenever I drove on a road that has tree over hanging the road or any over hang. I'm being inpatient and don't want to wait for the install service they also offer for free so i was going to do it myself.

Possibly got dust/dirt in the button

Hi, thanks for the reply. It feels like something is broken or jammed in there. Sometimes it works and turns better than others. And it often sticks when pushed in and springs out. Any tips on how to get the knob off so that I can clean it up, or possibly lubricate it ?

Bought a 1000W 4 channel BOSS amp #R2504 on sale at Pep Boys for 80 bucks. Still didn't work on the Fosgate sub. Still distorted and messed up. Was tripping the circuit protection on the amp. I guess that sub is shot. So I went to Best Buy today and got a Kenwood 12" single voice coil 4 ohm W120SVC 1000W max/250 RMS on sale 50% off so out the door for 53 bucks. Installed it in the Forsgate box hooked up to the BOSS amp 1 & 2 channels bridged for 500 amps max and I'm rattling the mirrors now. All wiring front to back tucked away nice and organized. Amp screwed down under the 2nd row seat. I'll get some pics later.

Installed this in the driveway sweating my balls off, flies biting, ******* brutal out there...
