I can't seem to find the thread about
Putting the jumper in the connection
After removing the hardtop
Anybody remember the process?

oh.... it will do that after removing the panels or only after removing the back piece?

First time I have heard that. My Miata does the opposite, it rasies the volume automatically to compensate the loss after putting down the top, just like some car audio adjusts the volume depending on speed.
"Back piece" only. You're not disconnecting any wires with the freedom top removal (if I understand your question correctly).

Disconnected my harness today with the top on and it cutout for half a second and came right back on with no difference in sound quality or volume. I had it pretty well cranked, too.

My Wrangler did the same as the the Youtube video when I unplugged my harness to install my Hotheads.

My Jeep is a 2009 and this does work. I had the dual top option and had a sound loss when I switched to my soft top. Heres what I used as a jumper.

I took a 30 amp fuse and with a pair of needle nose plyers I twisted the blades 90* and plugged it in. Clean, tight and it works good.

It worked!

I used a 5 amp fuse, no problems...

Great idea dude!

I could have sworn I had a box of fuses laying around...I but I guess not. Off to Autozone before the Bulls play.

I had bought an assorted package of fuses, don't think it makes any difference how many amps as long as you make the bridge between black and purple/white stripe. For a 2009 anyway.
