just curious on a swap on the SSS set up while still keeping the stock Nav unit.Can you run an aftermarket amp in the stock headunit?
Where would you plug in a new amp to power the fronts and rears.
I am sick of this weak Rockford fosgate "650 watt system" should be 65 watt
my last car was loaded with bass and I could bump going 80 on the freeway. Does anybody have a walkthrough of modifying the speakers and sub while keeping the stock SSS Nav touch screen. Thanks

I had the same exact issue for months. First of all the whole system is neither crisp/clear OR loud BUT the setting I found does make it better. It seems to have disabled that auto leveling bull****. With the stereo off if you hold down the audio knob you will find 2 settings. The one I changed was 3 letters ( I do not know what it is or what they stand for) but you can set it to 'on' or 'off'. When I turned it off I noticed the system would sustain higher volumes. Definately better but still not great overall, I need an Alpine stat!

Sorry, I havent been on the board in a few days. Im gonna be far from technical here, sorry cuz im at work and I dont remember exactly what the buttons and knobs say on the stereo. Yes I have the regular RF non Nav stereo. So there are two main knobs, the power/volume one to the left side which is obviously what you use to turn it off. Whatever the knob is to the right, I think you can control the bass/treble/sub...etc with it, with the power off that is the button you press and hold for a few seconds. I'll do it again when I get home and see what exactly pops up.

The same thing has been driving me crazy too. Our Honda Odyssey minivan has a louder standard system. When I use my Ipod in the rca connectors I noticed its much louder. On sirius and radio its just too quiet. Its frustrating because I bought the SSS so I could get the upgraded system and not have to install anything myself. Once the car is back form the dealer I plan to try this button. I don't have NAV so I am not sure if that matters.

Did anybody find a fix for this? Sorry, it took forever to search for a thread like this, so I created the other one.
I have a fully loaded GSR and the other GSR in the house with SSS is louder at half volume than my navi unit at full volume. What's the deal???
