bowtiextreme Posted January 2, 2008 Report Share Posted January 2, 2008 i have used the correct Metra bypass and used it.. sub works great, except that it pops when the radio powers on. I have plugged both blue/white wires on the Metra bypass to the blue Remote Wire on the D3 so that it receives power when the D3 receives power.. is this correct???

Dabigcheezze Posted January 2, 2008 Report Share Posted January 2, 2008 Just put @ 2k resistor inline with the factory amp Quote Link to post Share on other sites
hottwhyrd Posted January 2, 2008 Report Share Posted January 2, 2008 i just made a post about this but i cant locate it right now. if the 2k doesnt work then u need 2 resistors of the same resistance. i used 1.4k remote wire from avic------resistor----remote out to sub---resistor---ground. doing this halves the voltage to 6v which the factory amp needs to turn on but not pop good luck Quote Link to post Share on other sites
TeckBargins Posted January 2, 2008 Report Share Posted January 2, 2008 Get one of these. Should work fine. http://www.sminntech.com/ampinterface.html The SMT-AI will drop the voltage of the amp turn on from your aftermarket head unit so your factory amplifier will not “POP†when you turn on the vehicle.
