Installed a system in a 2011 Camaro w/ factory Boston Acoustics sound system [no navigation]. I kept the factory head-unit and bypassed the factory amp [other than the center channel]. I installed Boston SCs [6x9 coaxial in the rear, 6.5" components front], JBL GT5-A604 high amp, GT5-7001 sub amp & 2 Kicker CVT10s. I pulled signal at the factory amp, post amp for the front speakers using an SNI-15 & too keep the rear full range (the amp splits signals into low & high) I soldered in RCA leads pre amp. I have 3 issues:
1.Loud pop coming from the speakers when the car is turned off [I tapped my remote wire directly into the the factory amp turn on wire] I believe I can fix this by relay isolating the remote wire or using a TR-7?
2.Static and engine noise coming through speakers... Ground loop isolator or RCA noise filter?
3.The door chimes and turn signal chimes come through the speakers... and they are really freakin loud. There is an adjustment for them on the head-unit, but its either normal or high, and it doesn't matter what the volume is set at on the head unit. The only remedy I can think of is to turn down the gains on the four channel, but I'd prefer not to sacrifice performace if there is another solution.
Thanks for the input, Andy
