ok, that's to be expected as we discovered and documented in this thread. the hu sees a different and much smaller load when you feed the stock sub speaker level output into the external. it then thinks, "oh crap...ohm is less than 2 ohms of the oem sub," so it shuts off bass signal to the sub line for protection. what could also happen and has happened to us when we did the research - the entire system shuts off all sounds even though a song is still playing on the hu. you'd have to turn off the the hu and reboot it to cycle back on. this would happen every 15 mins.yes sorry, on the sub. i have a p3sd4-8 and keep losing my bass with the stock amp. i was hoping to just use the lc2i but im not sure. wanted to use a fix86 for the rest of the speakers with the upgrades youve done. been out of installing for a long time. now everythings interconnected.
yes, you can just use the lc2i which we've shown in this thread. all the bass signal will come back to feed the lc2i. that's the simplest and cleanest approach with the least amount of investment and work quite frankly.
yes, you can alternatively use fix86, but that will require you to run lots more wires back and forth from and to the stock amp located in the front passenger footwell.
therefore, lc2i, mono amp, and upgraded sub results in excellent bass performance in the cleanest and simplest manner with easier troubleshooting if needed. you can upgrade all the other speakers and use the stock amp. you'd be surprised how good it is without blowing the bank or increase complexity of the install. i would start there then move to next level if it's not good enough for your personal taste.
