Hi. This is my first post so hopefully, I get all the right info here. My best friend got a Kenwood Excelon DPX502BT to put in my 03 Trailblazer LTZ Premium Bose with RSE controls for my birthday. What was supposed to be a sweet gesture, has become a bit of a nightmare. I will start with a quick overview of what I'm working with, but the basic problems are:
1. Rear speakers have sound with Fader set at Zero, but when faded to the rear I lose all sound in the rear speakers.
2. On the RSE/RHVAC control module, I am only getting power to the RHVAC portion. The RSE control will not even power on.
Specs on the equipment are:
Original stock Bose Premium sound system front speakers, tweets, and factory amp still in place.
Replaced factory stereo with Kenwood Excelon DPX502BT using
PAC RP5 GM11 Interface (not realizing that the SWC can't be plugged in with the adapter as is) so currently no SWC. I'm fine with that at this point.)
Rear speakers were replaced with JBL Club 6520 Speakers
I will attach pics with some specs and wiring if that is allowed?
So, my questions:
1. Why am I getting power to the RHVAC portion of the control mod, but not the RSE portion?
2. Does the RSE affect the rear speakers or is it not part of the same unit?
Why does fading the speakers to the rear cause me to lose all rear speaker sound? I should also mention that when setting my Front HPF Gain the rear speakers got louder when the front was set at 0 vs -8. This still had no effect on the fader.
3. What do I need to do to correct the speakers and the power to the RSE?
Thank you and please let me know if posting the pics of the equipment specs and wiring is allowed and/or necessary.
