[QUOTE="TheVikingRL, post: 15235059, member: 129239"] I can't believe you're still fighting that. Did you ever try bypassing the factory HU and running an RCA into the Matrix from some other source? I never had an issue with noise from either sub signal (door or trunk sub). I'm using some sort of twisted pair cable but at this point I forget what. Only issue I had was not enough strength from the factory line out which is why the Matrix was so helpful. Absolutely no change from when we last spoke. I have the XD600 in the middle of the deck along with the DQ61 and 2XS. The other two amps are on tucked up on either end of the deck. Matrix is mounted vertically on the seat support framework. If the aftermarket would come up with a better bezel solution, this would all be much easier:) Still need to spend more time tweaking/tuning everything but between family and all my other hobbies it's been low on the priority list. I did reach out to a Ford resource who was going to help me reprogram the ACM to output a un-EQ'd line level signal direct from HU. But he never followed up with the details and I gave up trying. Would happily pay a resource to do it if I could find someone capable. Anyway, what else is new with your setup? [/QUOTE]
