My solution for stopping loud chimes/turn signal etc when adding amp

[Marv88]

Not sure if this solution has been posted however I have been reading about the loud chime/turn signal etc issues many are having after installing an aftermarket amplifier to the factory headunit. Using the rear speaker outputs silences all chimes etc but I didnt want to lose them totally so I've been trying to figure out a way to keep them without being too loud. While playing around with the radio I found that even when faded all the way to the rear the chimes, turn signals and Bluetooth sounds still played through the front speakers. My plan is to use the rear outputs to the amp as many are doing and mounting the stock dash speakers in the kick panels wired to the front channels of the headunit. I will lose my fader ability of course but thats not an issue for me and if you want to keep that ability you can install an adjustable L pad to the amp with a knob mounted somewhere up front.
