Well...I received the correct wiring harness & installed my system last weekend.
A lot of people have complained that they could never hear their rear speakers on the BRZ... well on mine I found out at least one reason why.
When I reinstalled my rear side panels I shined my work light in through the grill as I always do when installing speakers to make sure everything looks correct; on my passenger side I noticed that some of the grill holes were not fully punched through in the manufacturing process.
Then I looked at the drivers side & about 80% of the holes were not punched through at all !
So I took a 5/64" drill bit & carefully punched all the holes through on both sides by hand...very tedious.
On to my findings :
The Good :
(1) The system has cleared up / cleaned up the sound from my door woofers.
(2) I can now hear my rear speakers.
(3) It seems to have a good amount of power.
The Bad :
(1) You can definitely tell that the sub woofer is working & where the sound is coming from.
(2) The sub woofer's sound almost seems delayed in timing.
(3) No matter where you adjust the equalizer (Kenwood only has 3 adjustments : Bass / Mid / Treble) you get too much sub woofer "blort blort".
(4) It is not natural sounding at all.
I am currently corresponding with Daniel on this & they are purchasing another Kenwood head unit to replicate my system to see if they can correct the problems. He even asked for a few of my favorite test tracks to use as a guide line when evaluating the system.
So...I'm patiently waiting for their findings & hopefully a great solution.
Stay tuned again...
