My first post! I couldn't find anything in the search.
2011 SE AWD with base model stereo.
I installed a new set of Pioneer 6x8's and a Polk 4ch amp and man does it sound awesome!
My only issue is when I turn the key to "accessory mode" it says "low battery audio off" so the radio doesn't turn on until the engine starts and also turns off right once I take the key out of the ignition rather than staying on until I open the door.
Just to proactively cover the typical audio questions
-Car starts and drives just fine.
-No issues while the engine is started.
-It is grounded well, I have zero feedback in the audio and the amp stays cool.
-I wired the ignition wire to the #35 fuse by the foot panel.
-I ran two "4 gauge" (looked a little small for 4 gauge so I ran another) power cables and have two grounds at separate locations .
-The power cables are bolted to the battery terminal connector. I made sure not to connect them after any factory fuses, each power cable has its own fuse.
-Amp is mounted under the drivers seat (no power seats) so the cables are fairly short.
Its not the worst problem in the world but if I can fix it I would like to. Thanks in advance!
