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.
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.
I unplugged my cables from the back the first time I took my top off and haven't plugged them back up since. I don't really need the rear defroster and the windshield wiper in the back is pretty useless so I have left it unplugged. Eventually, I may have to do this if it does indeed work.
What is really amazing is the title to this post - "Audio Sucks after Taking off the Top". As if the stock audio didn't suck before taking the top off. Most of us know the STOCK jeep audio sucks - period.
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.
I have a soft top. I'm guessing they didn't change the wiring harness on the assembly line between hard top/soft tops. I'm going to look for the plug and try this trick.
This definitely works by the way. I noticed a pretty significant bass increase and overall volume output when I plugged the fuse in. Awesome idea whoever came up with it.
