Bass distortion after amp/sub/LOC install
I may have already fixed this, but I wanted to see what all of your responses would be like. So, I, along with James63410, installed my 2 10" Rockford Fosgate subs and Rockford Fosgate P300-1 Prime amp today. I did the add-a-fuse/circuit method on fuse 32 for the accessory switch (easy) and tied the grounds to the factory ground harness in the trunk. I'm using an Orion LOC that I picked up at a local audio store here run off the factory sub (though the LOC has R+, R-, L+, and L-). I used the LOC AFTER the stock amplifier (from the existing wire in the trunk) and I spliced the two LOC channels together and tied my factory sub wires to it. Connected everything, started her up and every works great. Driving down the road, I make a phone call and I hear distortion in the bass, it will cut in and out (even with radio off), the bass is always working but just a constant rumble when it happens, kinda fluctuating in severity. Its not very loud but can be somewhat annoying. I didn't tune the LOC at all initially, so when I got home, I did a quick gain adjustment all the way down and I did a quick test to see if that worked, everything seemed to be working. Does that like that could have been the issue? Just wanted to see what you guys thought, thanks!

I didn't, but on the ride to work this morning (about a 15-20minute drive), I never heard the distortion again since I altered the gain on the LOC. I think its fixed!

If you have a TL-S you need to unplug the ANC system. This causes the thumping sound with the radio off because it's playing the programmed inverse sounds to reduce noise.
