Here's a link to my experience: https://www.jlwranglerforums.com/forum/threads/adding-an-aftermarket-amp-s.6568/page-11#post-635072Wondering if anyone has experienced this before.
Back in July, I basically followed StingNC's guide step by step (thank you by the way) & installed the following: JL 3.5's inches in the dash, JL 4 inches in the soundbar being powered by a JL RD400 4 channel. I have a 7 inch non alpine system radio with resistors tied into the speaker wire going to a JL audio Fix 86 and RCA's out to amp.
Everything worked fine and did so for months. I am in NJ and these past few mornings, it has been colder. When I turn the car on first thing in the morning, only 1 speaker works.When this happened, I assumed for whatever reason the radio is not seeing the resistors and is only turning 1 channel open.
However, after 15 minutes of the car running, turning the unit completely off and letting it reset. I turn the car back on and all speakers work again.
Happened the past two mornings and works fine in the afternoons. Has anyone come across this before or have an idea of a solution?
I haven't tested it yet but I thought about turning the radio completely off at night. Remote starting the vehicle in the morning, let it run for 10 minutes and then power the radio on but I am all ears and open to suggestions to not have to do that.
Any help is greatly appreciated, thank you.
I suspect you are having a similar issue where the resistance is changing with temperature and you are just a bit over the threshold for the radio to be happy. I believe carbon resistors increase their resistance when temperature decreases. You may have to do what I did and lower your resistor values to make it work consistently.
