if you remove the armrest, it gives really good access to the body for a ground

anyone have instructions on how to remove the armrest? dont want to spend my whole afternoon trying to get it off

two bolts (10mm) on the inside under the little fabric, and pull the facia from around the shifter, (its a seperate piece) and there are two screws there, you should be golden.

thanks cexsiman, i grounded but now the amp just flashes and goes in to protect mode and turns off, anyone have any clue whats going here?

what kind of amp is it? and what light is flashing? i assume the power? did you try calling tech support (as much as it doesnt help sometimes...)

Hifonicx BX1000d, the 'HIFONICS' logo on top flashes blue light and the protection mode also flashes, and then finally shuts off after about 5 quick flashes

would it because i didnt scrape the paint off where i mounted the ground wire? could that be the reason?

anyone?

ive been trying to figure out if its the amp or not, but it could certainly be a good reason to scrape the paint down to bare metal where you are grounding it, if for no other reason but to get a better ground, would be an easy solution. i havent been able to figure out if its the amp and if it was what it could be, sorry, but that is a great place to start.

i will try to scrape the paint off tomorrow and hope that it works
